Birthday Lego

Hello there, today I have a card to share that I made for my nephew for his birthday. He absolutely loves Lego so it made sense for me to try and make him a Lego themed card.

 

I started cutting some squares and rectangles from Doodlebug cardstock (sadly this seems to have been discontinued now). I also then die cut multiple circles using one of the smaller dies from the Hero Arts Circle Nesting die set. I added Distress Ink around the edges of the shapes and then glued them together to look like Lego blocks. These were added to a 5.5"x5.5" card base.

 

 

I then took the six from the PTI By The Numbers die set and cut this three times from white cardstock and layered them up. I also die cut a star from vellum using a Nestabilities die. I added the six on to the star and then added the piece to the card base. To finish off, I added a few Doodlebug Matte Sprinkles.

This was such a fun card to make although I wish I had more than one of those circle dies ;) Thanks so much for visiting me today. I hope you have a great day!

Anniversary Pandas

Hello there, today I have a card to share that I sent to my aunt and uncle to celebrate their wedding anniversary. I thought the ME Pandamonium pandas would be perfect for the card.

 

I started off by stamping the pandas using black ink to a piece of white cardstock. I then added a little bit of colour with Copics before fussy cutting out. I then took the sentiment, from the Clearly Besotted Round Roses stamp set, and stamped this on to black cardstock using Versamark ink. I added white embossing powder to this and then heat set. It was then cut out.

 

 

I took a piece of PTI Pure Poppy cardstock and cut this using a Nestabilities Classic Heart die. I then added a little ink blending around the edges for some depth. I used Festive Berries and Aged Mahogany Distress Inks. I took a white 4.75" card base and used the largest of the SSS Stitched Square dies to emboss the image on to the front. I have a video showing how to do this here.

 

 

I added the heart on to the card base with tape runner, along with the sentiment piece. I then added the pandas on top with foam tape.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Hello there, last week was my Dad's Birthday but since my blog was packed full of CB teasers I didn't get a chance to share the card I made for him. I came across this gorgeous card on Pinterest by Lindsay Amrhein and thought the design would be great for his card. I first took a layer of white CS and embossed the Nestabilities Stars on to it. I then printed the sentiment from my PC (I used Amatic SC font) on to PTI Spring Rain CS and it out using the MFT Fishtail Flags Stax dies. This has been added to the panel with 3D foam and then I have embellished with a few Doodlebug Sprinkles. The panel has been added to a card base made from Peanut Cluster Bazzill Card Shoppe CS.

Three - DTDF

Hello there, today I am sharing the card I made for my nephew Jake using tons of goodies from Dies to Die for. Most of them are by My Favourite Things, including the Party Balloons stamp set and dies - sadly these sets are not available to buy in the UK; they are an MFT Stamps exclusive but you can order direct from them and they are great sets. A big thank you goes to the lovely person who gave them to me as a gift when I was sick :0)
