Happy Birthday Papa!

This was the card I made for my father-in-law's birthday last week.  I CASED it from Julia Leece.  I always struggle with masculine cards and when I saw the picture of this one I knew I would have to recreate it!  The card is much bigger than the standard size.  It measured about 6"x8", which ended up being a good thing because my 4 year old signed the inside and insisted on drawing a picture of him with his Papa.  I wish I had taken a picture of that for you.  It was the standard stick figure drawing however, he left the arms off and "accentuated" the knees.  Hilarious!  My father-in-law seemed to like the card but was fixated on the "Remember when" sentiment that I used as one of the book titles.....I have know idea why.

To a little Princess...

 

 

Hello there!  Here's the card I made for my niece Jenelle's 4th birthday!  She had a fun birthday party at a park and the boys had a great time running through the water fountain!  I love making girly cards, but I don't really have any girly stamps.  I made the crown on this card using oval punches.  I started with the wide oval punch and then used the small oval punch (retired) to create the points of crown.  And what little princess doesn't love bling??  The rhinestones on this card are not from stampin up, but just by chance they matched!  I used dimensionals under the center of the crown to help give it the rounded look.  I was really glad I got to give her this card in person rather than mail it, sticking it in an envelope would not have been pretty.  Here's a pic that you can see a little more of the dimension of the card:
