Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time Lindsey would like us to make a card for kids.
I made these two cards for two young boys at church. They were born on the same day just a couple hours apart. They are best friends as are their families. As you can see one is blonde and one is brunette. (By the way, they loved the cards.)
I sponged dark blue ink around the edges of the pattern paper which has white dots on it. I though it was great for a galaxy look. I used MFT Space Explorer for all the stamped images and the matching dies to cut them out. I colored them with Copics and added the number 8 sticker to a balloon on each one. I flagged the end of the sentiment and shaped it with my bone folder. I added foam tape to the middle and glued each end down. The rocket and astronaut are both mounted with foam tape.
Be sure to hop over to the Seize the Birthday blog and check out all the fabulous kids cards by the designers.
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

Your cards are all kinds of fun! I love that you personalized them with appropriate hair colouring and different coloured balloons. Great idea to add some sponging to the patterned paper, too!
ReplyDeleteThese are super, JoAnn! Great way to personalise the cards, too!
ReplyDeleteYou are the sweetest to make these cards for those kids! I am so sure they did love them. And you personalized them too! Super job my friend.
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards - its got everything - the space element, its personalized - I am glad you found the perfect sized sticker to add on the balloons! No wonder the kids liked them!! Awesome job, JoAnn!!
ReplyDeleteI have wanted this MFT die and stamp for a long time. I love it. Unfortunately I think I missed the age where my grands would appreciate it. AT 13 and 15, they are really only interested in what is inside. Love these and how you personalized them.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of you to make the astronauts like the boys! I love the design and the idea to create the galaxy using the pattern paper with bit of ink blending is great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super cute card for the boys - and personalized just for them. The galaxy you created is great.
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking galaxy and brilliant idea to use dp and sponge it! Love how you've made the cards personalized for the boys and I love that sentiment, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI'll bet the boys loved their cards! I love those space images and I think you've inspired me to break my shopping freeze this month. Wonderful kid cards!
ReplyDeleteThese are so fantastic JoAnn! Love the backgrounds and your personalized colouring is great. Such perfect cards for the boys.
