Cards for Boys...

I have two boy cards to share today.

First up is a card I made for my grandson, Archie.  I like to send him cards every now and then.  This one was inspired by one of the cards in the May Making Cards magazine.  There were papers and images that came with the magazine.

I used the papers and images to layer on the card and the front.  I generated the sentiment on the computer.

My second card was a commissioned card for a 2 year old who loves diggers.

I found the image on the internet and printed it twice... I fussy cut the second image and added it with pop dots over the main image.  I added some glossy accents to parts of the digger.  Loved how I kept it CAS. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I appreciated everyone's visits.

Boys, Boys, Boys

New challenge up at Southern Girls Challenge today.  Our theme this fortnight is Boys.

I got to work with a cutie little boy from Inky Impessions.

My background was made with a technique that was the challenge this month on my NZ crafters forum.  You add paints to your embossing folder and then close the folder and press with your fingers to transfer the paint to your watercolour card.  Once it all dried, I ran it through my Cuttlebug with the folder lined up.  My grass was a scrap of card that I'd used to sop up some inks from my craft mat.  I keep these little bits to use when needed.  This one I punched with a Fiskars punch. 

I printed and coloured my little bloke (Back to School Nicholas) and then fussy cut him out.

Hop over to the SGC blog and see what the rest of the team have come up with.

Hear it for my Boy.........

New challenge underway at Southern Girls Challenge today and it's a fun one.... Let's hear it for my boy...

A very CAS card... I used some awesome PP from DCWV.  It's all glittery and textured.  The sentiment is from Kaisercraft and is stamped onto Kraft card cut with a Lil' Inkers die. 

This one is really for my boy.... I'm giving it to my son for his 26th birthday on Friday 13th.  I am really proud of my boy... the day after his birthday he is heading off to Nepal for a week to help a village in the Chitwan area, to build houses as part of Habitat for Humanity .  He has to pay his own way and has been fundraising to help.  His boss is also going with him as well a whole lot of others ( around 2000 people going to Nepal)  Wishing him well.  It's a chance of a lifetime.

Hope to see you join us of SGC with you boy cards and projects.
