Number card

Good morning all, hope you are well. This is the last of the 21st birthday cards that I made for my nephew.

I used a 7x7 card blank and cut a piece of grey SSS card to fit. Then I used an Xcut number die to cut the 21 out of the bottom corner. 

I found a piece of royal blue glitter card in the stash and put this behind. I tried a few different colours but really liked the blue and grey together. 

I used stamps from a Crafters Companion Sentimentals set for the sentiment and stamped them with Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder.

I then hunted through the stick on numbers that we have and came up with a few black and blue ones. Then I arranged them randomly over the front of the card. 

It's very simple but I hope you like it. Take care and I'll see you soon.

Coloured card

Good morning all, hope you are having a good week. 

Today's card came from an idea on an American blog that I follow called The Daily Marker. The lady who runs it, Kathy, is super talented and comes up with some great ideas. 

Seen as how I need some cards for a very special young mans birthday next week. I thought I would give this idea a go. 

I used lots of strips of Coredinations card in different colours, and laid them on to another piece at an angle. Then I used the guillotine to crop the edges. 

I stuck this piece to a 6x6 kraft card blank and then used a number die to add the age. 

I wasn't sure where to go next with it as I wanted to add a sentiment but wasn't sure which one or whether to stamp one or die cut it. In the end I used one of my favourite stamps to stamp the sentiment at the bottom.

I finished it off with a couple of wooden embellishments and a Studio Calico wooden sentiment. 

Very simple but quite effective. Hope you agree. 

Thanks for calling by again. See you soon, take care.
