Birthday card

I made this card for my brother in law John for his 40th. I loved this image from bugaboo and I love to tease him as I'm actually 2 days older than him.

I struggle with patterned paper and like to keep my cards simple and clean. At the moment I am loving this cardstock colour from Stampin Up called Cherry Cobbler

I added several layers of dimensional glaze to his glasses to try and give that bottle glass thickness look, similar to Mr Magoo's glasses. After I took the shot it lookes a little like breasts on his face they were that high. Not sure the camera caught exactly how high it was.

 

I noticed at the Forever Friend site that this month's theme was "anything goes" and in part sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps so I thought I would enter this card.





Another boy pocket card

Another pocket card with the die and stamps and the denim background. This is for my nephew and the brother of the previous pocket card.

A close up of the image on the pocket

The inside. Again stamped off once before stamping on the card, then the b'day stamped straight on top.

Pocket Card for Boys

Using the same pocket and stamp die with a denim background stamp from Stampin Up, this was made for my nephew

Yep had to photograph it with another prop.

The inside of the card.

Pocket Cards for Girls

Using a pocket stamp and matching die, I made this pocket card for my niece.

This is the inside, what I did was stamp the flower image as above once off onto a piece of scrap paper then stamped onto the inside card, this gives the flower image a paler look. I then stamped Happy Birthday straight over the top of the flower image.

This is the card she recieved with the money sitting in the pocket.

The same card but photographed with a wand in the pocket. This could've been the gift as well instead of money.
