A Gymnast Card for my 8 year old Great Niece

Today, I am sharing the birthday card I made for my great niece who
loves gymnastics. We also happen to share the same birthday!

I managed to find a free clipart image to print, which I mat 

and layered onto pink card. 

Using 3D foam pads I attached it to the embossed card
base, added the die-cut number and the printed sentiment.

Birthday Card for my Nephew

 Today's card is one I made for my nephew earlier this month, using snippets of 
paper and card from my ever growing stash!

I found the idea for this card on Pinterest.

I made the 7"x5" card base using a stone coloured A4 sheet of card.

Next I embossed a smaller piece of brown card with the textured

embossing folder and glued it to the card base.

Using 4 snippets of design papers which I glued to some lightweight card,

I die-cut them with a set of stitched banner dies.

Next, I used a piece of the stone card and die-cut the sentiment banner

with one of the set of Creative Expressions (Sue Wilson) Pierced Flags
from the Frames and Tags set.

Lastly I added the Presscut Happy Birthday and some small circles
punched with an EK Success punch.
