A Handmade Boy’s Birthday Card

This is a card I made with no specific person in mind.  I thought about giving it to my son as he has a birthday coming up on Thursday, but I think it's too young for him, he'll be 28.   I made the card because I had scraps left over from another card I just finished.  Rather than just toss the scraps in the garbage, I threw together another card.  So, since I don't have a recipient in mind, it will just sit in my stash until I need it.   It's always nice to have extra cards on-hand when the needs arise.


For this card I used all old supplies.  The paper is from an old Cosmo Cricket stack and the image is retired Stampin' Up!   "Kids at Play".


To make the card, I just glued the kite designer paper to a white card base and added another coordinating piece of dp to the side.  I then stamped the kite and little boy onto separate card stock, colored them in with Copic markers, then fussy cut them out.  They were then popped up on dimensionals onto the card.


A sentiment was stamped right onto the designer paper.



What about you?  Do you often pre-make cards for future occasions?  I'd love to hear from you!

A Cute Card For Father’s Day

I made this cute little card for my husband for Father's Day.  I don't normally go "cute" with guys, but I saw these pre-stamped images in my stash and thought they'd make a cute Father's Day card;  especially now that we have grandchildren.  The little girl image reminds me so much of Alethea, and we have a grandson on the way too!


The stamp set is retired SU! "Kid's At Play".  I sold my set long ago, but I always stamp off a few images before I send it off in the mail.  I'm sure you can find this set on EBAY if you like it.


Because all the images were stamped off on a separate sheet of card stock I had to fussy cut them all out.  I created a sky background using gelatos, then I glued the images on top of it.  The cloud was cut with an MFT die.


I hand wrote "Happy Father's Day" in the flag.  The butterflies and flowers are from an MFT set.  I colored in some grass using Copic Markers.  The images were also colored with Copics.  The sentiment on the bottom right corner is an old dollar bin stamp.


Have A Happy Father's Day!
