I have three cards to make this weekend - not that that's a bad thing :) - so I thought I would make a start today while I happily watched my taped shows!
The first uses the sketch from Mojo Monday this week, and is for a birthday party our youngest is going to tomorrow. There is very little stamping in this card, and so it came together very quickly. The number '6' is from a Kitchen Sink Stamps set that I have, and I have a very similar set from gel-a-tins in the shop.
I started with Bazzill cardstock Pomegranate Splash Smoothies and cut it to 14cm x 28cm, scored and foled it in half. I team my 14cm square cards with the 15cm square envelopes that you can find here.
I wanted the card to be bright and went in search for something suitable for a boy. You would think that someone with three boys would have more of a selection! But I found this red and white polka dot piece in my 'Christmas' stash and the top is a favourite from SU!
I cut the star in Bazzill Linen Hillary using my Star Spellbinders (I think for the first time!), raised it with dimensional foam and adhered the stamped number '6'. The circle was cut with Petite Circle Spellbinders and I included a button from the Creative Collection - Birthday Fun - which I attached using Glossy Accents. The white circle has been embossed using a Cuttlebug folder.
I hope you have all had a wonderful week, and that the long weekend (here in Vic) is as well!
Thanks for stopping by,
