Lego Ninjago Party Invite

Our little guy's 6th birthday is in a couple of weeks.
He wanted a Lego Ninjago themed cake so I use that for his party invitation.



Lego Ninjago Party Invite


The Ninja was copied from one of the Lego instruction manuals and printed on lightweight card stock for the printer. I popped him with dimensional foam.
The Lego "brick" was handmade with a hand punch.  
There's two layers of dots on there.
It was so painstaking to layer so I stopped at two layers.
I put a coat of Glossy Accents on the brick to make it more realistic. 
Hard to see that in photo.

Merci


Used a couple challenge prompts to make a card this weekend.
Design from CAS(E) this sketch, colors from the 10 minute craft dash 
and papers inspired by BG challenge. 

Merci

This card took 10:18. I went over b/c I cut the arrow in a blue paper first and it didn't pop enough so I re-cut in the dark pink BG paper from the pad. Definitely a good move.

Card features a Purple Onion thank you stamp (Thanks AMY) and 
papers by Basic Grey and MME.


Merci

Supplies:
Stamp: Purple Onion
Ink:  Distress in Broken China
Papers:  Basic Grey "Kissing Booth" and MME
Other:  arrow die "Lead the Way" set by MFT

Blast Off!


Last card for the Card drive for Grayson.

I made all these in one sitting.  
I am taking a graduate class on literacy and while it is really educational, my craft time is very limited almost nonexistent until the end of April.
 I walked in my craft room the other day just to see it.
I miss my toys!! 
 

This card features MME "Lil' Robots" paper collection and stamps by Recollections.

Robot Card


Spaceship was paper pieced and popped with foam:

Robot card for Grayson


 Here's a card heading for the Happy Mail for Grayson Drive.
The card features papers from the MME "Lil' Robots" collection and stamps by Recollection (scored them for $1.50 at Michael's clearance sale)
The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp's "You" set.
The little green banner is made with MFT "mini pennants" die.
Used a bit of Glossy Accents, Stickles and Shiny black fabric paint to jazz it up.
Inspired by the sketch, I added the punched-out heart.
