Harry's 14th Birthday Card

Hello - it was Harry's (our grandson) Birthday on the 20th June. I made a card, we weren't able to be with him on the day, however we went into Sydney the following weekend to meet him and spend the day with him and the rest of the family.

Here's his card:

Harry got a new BMX bike for is birthday. Everyone pitched in so that he could get it. It was a Black and Silver bike and this inspired the card that I made for him.


I began with white American Crafts card stock for the base of the card.

I used a sheet of Bo Bunny Paper for the left hand side panel.

The sentiment was stamped using a Paper Smooches stamp which I heat embossed in white. I decorated the outside of the black mat with a white Signo pen.

On the side of the card I added some metal dies - which Harry couldn't help but play with and admire.

I cut out the sentiment using a Cottage Cutz die in black and I added the numbers using a white Peel Off and hand wrote "TODAY".

I went onto google and found the image of a Black and Silver BMX bike, which I printed out, fussy cut and added Glossy Accents to.

Here's what I did with the inside of the card. I cut up and reconfigured the Elizabeth Craft Design Frog Die.

I hand wrote the message on a die cut made with a Spellbinders Fancy Tags 2 die.











Then here is the boy himself receiving his card:

Yeah! .... he likes it!

A lovely picture of Harry to finish with!

Hello Deer-ling

Hello my blogging family and friends, I hope you are having a GRAND day.

I have the second of my two Marianne Collectibles die cards to show you today. They are such fun to make and then its a question of making a card background for them!

This die set is the two little deer or more accurately I suppose two little fawns!

Here's my card:

I think this card is so sweet. I used a mixture of Heartfelt Creations dies and stamps, the sentiment I created on my computer and printed it out! All the details will be in the ingredients below. The pale green cardstock is from American Crafts. I cut out the oval using a Spellbinders Grand Ovals die.

They look so adorable, I made them and had them sitting on my crafting table for ages - they were my crafty playmates, then I just had to make them into a card! I added glossy accents to their noses and fawn spots.

The flowers are from Heartfelt Creations - Delightful Daisies, I firstly heat embossed the stamps with white embossing powder then coloured them using daubers, memento inks and a dove blending pen. The leaves I coloured with Distress Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive ink pads. There are also some Sue Wilson leaves added too. I added prills to the flower centers using dries clear glue from Cosmic Shimmer.

The little button in the corners are a combination of Enamel Stickers from Francheville (a Spotlight purchase) and Bo Bunny Double Dot Emerald Jewels.
