Birthday Card For My Great Nephew

My youngest great nephew celebrated his third birthday earlier
this month, and this is the card I made for him.
One of his favourites characters is Fireman Sam, so I found a free image
to print, mat and layered it with blue card and glued it onto
the card base.

I then die-cut his name, age and stamped the sentiment.

The products I have used are:
Trimcraft First Edition Alphabet dies
Cuttlebug Alphabet/Number dies - Olivia

A 'Clean and Simple' Birthday Card

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for my sister earlier this month.
I decided to go for 'white on white' with a pop of colour in the centre,
using snippets of white and lilac card.
.
I started by choosing two sizes of the frame dies, die-cut
each one three times in white card and glued them together.

I marked in pencil the position of the smaller frame, and using my
Misti stamping platform, I stamped the sentiment onto the base card.

I then glued the frames in place, added the die-cut flowers to the centre
and finished with the diamante gems.

The products I have used are:
The Works - Stitched Squares
Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die D-Lites - Blooms Four
Julie Hickey Designs - I Need:Everyday Sentiments


I am entering my card into the 
Snippets Playground #424 Challenge - Anything Goes

letters carefully across the picture using low tack tape and die-cut her name.
Next, I die-cut the letters in black foam and glued both sets together.

After mat and layering the picture to purple card, I glued it directly to
the card base and glued the raised letters in place.

Lastly, I added the sentiment, number and diamante gems.
