Birthday Card for my Nephew

Here is the birthday card I made for my nephew last month.
I came across the idea for the design on Pinterest.

Going through my snippets box of design papers and card,
I found two pieces of blue paper and glued them to some
light weight card. I then edged them both with a blue Promarker.

The darker piece I glued directly onto the card base, and I used 3D
foam on the striped piece.

I stamped the sentiment using one of the stamps from the 
Woodware - Francoise Read 'Made for You' set onto white card,
cutting a banner tail end on one side.

I also edged it with the Promarker, then glued that onto the front
 and added a couple of enamel dots to finish.

I am entering this card into 
Pixie’s Snippets Playground - Anything Goes challenge

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.
