Birthday Card for my Great Nephew

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made in March for one 

of my great nephews.

I used the Crafter’s Companion football embossing folder to partially

emboss the card base. I then embossed two narrow lines to edge
the embossing using my Scor-Buddy.

Lastly, I used 3D foam pads to attach the die-cut circles to the card.

I finished by adding the number, his name and the tiny circles.

The products I have used:

Crafter’s Companion embossing folder - Football Crazy

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Circle and Scalloped Circle

Number and alphabet dies - Brand unknown

EK Success punch - Three tiny circles

Birthday Cards for my Nephew and Great Nephew

 slightly different due to the poor lighting at the moment.

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Scalloped Circles and Circles

from the Frames and Tags set.

Birthday Card for my Great Niece

for her 15th birthday.

on the internet would be perfect for her.

embossed lines using my Scor-Buddy.

Lastly, I added the die-cut computer generated sentiment and the 
punched pink circles.
