MFT World Card Making Day Challenge 3: By the Numbers.

This Card features an older number set by MFT that I LOVE. 

I use an adhesive sheet with the paper to make adhering them easier. 

 

I needed a birthday card for a boy in a couple weeks so I made this one using the number die, the sentiment from "the Whole Herd" set and the Die-Namics Rectangle Word Window Frame

 

I am also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp WCMD challenge.

Skylander B-day card

 Needed a birthday card for a 9 year old boy.  This CAS(e) this Sketch #81 sketch challenge popped up so I used it to get the ideas flowing.

 The banner was cut by hand while the stars came from my

 Lawn Fawn Journaling die set.

Random Cards

Very little crafting since I went back to work after being home for 10 years, but I have a few to share that I have made for specific occasions. 

Lego card for boy's birthday:

 

Skylander card for another boy's birthday.  

I took the image off the internet.  

My son came up with the sentiment.

I made two of these for my son's coaches this fall.

 

Hope to see you again soon,

Skylander birthday card

Another boy's birthday coming up.

We got him a couple Skylander characters so I wanted to use that for the theme of the card.

I found the image on the internet of "Crusher" which inspired my sentiment.

I went through my stash to find the words to stamp. 

I am using the sketch from CASE(E) this Sketch #31

Seize the Bday: boy bday card

Needed another birthday card this weekend for a boy.

I printed out the new Seize the Birthday sketch 
and grabbed my "Swimsuit Season" stamp set by Lawn Fawn.  
We are giving the boy a slip-n-slide so I thought the suit themed card would be cute.
The pants were stamped and cut out.  
The water splashes were stamped directly on the paper,
 colored with Copics and then glittered. 

The frame was a late addition.
I bought them at Michaels.  
The other side was orange floral so I flipped it over and 
colored it with Copics to match the card.
Seems to work vs.having my suit floating on the card.  

Stamps:  Lawn Fawn

Papers:  Echo Park

Bingo:  Simple Stories

Other: Stickles, Recollections frame

and Echo Park's "A Boy's Life" paper collection.

I stamp the suit and water splashes and cut them out.  

I added Glossy Accents to the water splashes.

The arrow is made from an MFT die called "Lead the Way".

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.

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.

Supplies:

Ninja: Lego Instruction manual

Dies: Simon Says Stamp  "you" and "speech bubble"

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Harold's ABCs"

Other: star embossing folder, washi tape, handmade brick, Glossy Accents

Blast Off!

Last card for the Card drive for Grayson.

I made all these in one sitting.

 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.

Spaceship was paper pieced and popped with foam:

Used the sketch from The Craft's Meow.

I figured the stars were more "manly" than a ribbon!  hee hee
