Lucas' 12th Birthday Card

 

 

 

This is a steampunk style card that I made for my grandson's birthday.  He just turned twelve.   I used Stampin' Up papers and Lots of Tim Holtz paraphernalia.  Page one sentiment is "What seems like the ordinary is often the extraordinary."

 

 

I used  a Tim Holtz globe die for the inside right page.  The page ias also stenciled with a Tim Holtz stencil.  The sentiment is The world needs who you were made to be."

 

 

 

 The inside right page has a sentiment written in German that says Happy twelfth Birthday, Lucas.  He is a huge German fan.  That includes the language, WWII, and more.  I used Tim Holtz washi tape and paraphernalia.  The sentiment is "Always listen to your heart it will show you the way.  Also included is my lucky number "34."

 

 

The back is stenciled with a Tim Holtz (surprised?) clock stencil The sentiment says "Know in your heart you are loved.) The card also has a metal tag hanging by a chain with his name on it.

Christmas Ornaments

 

These two cards were made with Spellbinder's dies.  The paper is very old, from my stash.  The sentiment id from Lili of the Valley

Christmas Cross Stitch

 This is a new die set from Spellbinder's.  This is my first try with it.  I want to make a few more and tweak it to see if I can get it to turn out a little better.  I tried to ink the scissors and needle with black so they would look old.  It didn't work.  Handling the pieces took the ink off.

Birthday Flowers

 

 

 

 I'm trying to rebuild my stash of birthday cards.  I used the Club of the Month stamp and die set from Spellbinders to make these two cards.  They are colored with Copics. The paper is from Hobby Lobby.   I'm not real happy with them, but I think I will use them anyways.

 

A Couple of Christmas Cards

 

The above card uses an image and sentiment from Lili of the Valley.  I just love their images, but don't use them very often.  The paper is from Hobby Lobby.  I colored the image with Copic markers.

This card uses two separate images from Mo's digital Pencil.  The background window and Fa la la la la!  The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils.  The paper is from a very old Christmas pad.
