Happy 2nd Birthday!

Happy Monday everyone!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card for a two year old

boy that my friend commissioned. She requested a 

construction themed card. I don't have any stamps to

fit that theme and my printer is on the fritz so I had to

get creative. I remembered that I have a VERY old set

of Sizzix dress up dolls. No construction themed sets

but I was able to improvise.

The little tools on the front of the card are from Art Impressions.

5330 – Tools Mini Dies

All of the dress up dolls and accessories are long since retired

but I'll share photos of everything I used below so you can 

possibly search and find them on eBay

or Etsy or in a craft

group on FB.

I also used a retired Cuttlebug embossing folder, retired 

Spellbinders Arrow Dies and a retired My Favorite Things 

Tool set.

Truck, shirt and overalls.

Hair

Vest (I altered the gown)

Hard hat (I altered the beach hat)

Body

Shoes

Ruler embossing strip from Cuttlebug

Spellbinders arrows

Larger tools on the inside were from My Favorite Things.

Happy 2nd Birthday Tony!

Hello and happy Tuesday!

Today I'm sharing Tony's second birthday card. 

My friend's nephew had a Thomas the Tank Engine themed birthday over the weekend and she commissioned a card from me. 

It's difficult to see but there are clouds embossed on the paper.

This is the side view of the easel card.

Here's the back of the card where
she was able to write a note to him.

Happy Second Birthday!

Hello and happy Wednesday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made for a two year boy. 

It's the same boy I made a Harry Potter shower card and 1st birthday card for.

He has developed his own likes and is apparently really into construction equipment.

Since I don't own any stamps that fit this theme I had to get creative.  I found a pattern on line for the bulldozer.  The boy was made with a Sizzix die and I printed his hat on my computer.

On the inside I printed the cone, backhoe and sign.  The truck is from a Sizzix die and the saw horse was just cut from paper and I put it together

I used the sign in conjunction with the 2 as a play on the terrible twos.

Get it? "Caution 2!" I don't know...I hope they get it.
