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

Clearly Besotted Stamps - Mini Calligraphy

A 'Clean and Simple' Male Birthday Card

Today, I have another of last month's birthday cards I made for my God-daughter's

husband, who celebrated his 40th birthday.

I started by embossing a frame directly onto the base card, then die cut two of the smaller

stitched label dies, and adhered them onto the embossed frame with 3D foam squares.

Next, I cut two number 40's, one in gold mirri card, the other in the brown card,

and glued them onto the label, slightly off-setting them.

The products I have used are:-

Spellbinders - Labels 1

Stitched Label dies - from The Works

Anniversary Card

Hello, today I would like to show you the card I made for my husband for our 35th Wedding Anniversary which we celebrated yesterday. Although I have a fair amount of coloured card in my craft room, I couldn't find any coral colour, so I used white card and coloured the die cuts
with my coral Promarker pen.
I did find some My Mind's Eye embossed paper in a Trimcraft paper pack which was coral colour, so I used a piece for one of the co-ordinating strips. 

I have used this sketch from the Just Add Ink blog.

Items I have used are:-

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Circles & Decorative Elements Heart Circles, 

the numbers are from the Cuttlebug Olivia Alphabet set, Mama Elephant die - Happy

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder - Polka Dots

Creative Expressions Embossing Folder - Textures Linen

I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

Just Add Ink - Sketch Challenge
Crafting with Friends - Anything Goes
Brown Sugar - Use a Number
Crafty Catz - Embossing
Simply Papercraft - Always Anything Goes

Crafting with Attitude - Anything Goes

Thanks for looking in.
