1st birthday

My little nephew celebrated his 1st birthday a month ago.
This was the card for him.

I enter this card to the following challenges:
Through The Craft Room Door – Anything goes
I ♥ ProMarkers's Challenge #185 – 3 Different shapes

Little box

To cut the box pieces I used Sizzix Bigz XL Die - Box, Carry All. I glued it together and embellished it with stars, green ribbon, Penny's Black cat image coloured with Promarkes and a stamp saying Happy Birthday!

This kind of birthday boxes can be very handy, especially when you have to wrap up something small and still want to make it look nice.

In this case I put in some chocolates, and I made a special little “envelope” for money as well.

 

I enter this box to the following challenges:

Craftalnica’s Challenge #86 – I celebrate my birthday
RRR’s Challenge #76 – Sizzlin' Summer Colors & Ribbon
Through the Craftroom door's Challenge - Anything Goes
I ♥ ProMarkers's Challenge #177 - Anything goes

Boat

Summer is here and I came up with an idea for a new birthday card – a boat, sailing the sea.
I used Sizzix embossing folder to make the sea waves and I cut manually all the other paper pieces to compose the boat on which I wrote the name of the celebrating person (which I erased in the picture, as I do not want the person to see this is his/her card before time).  I also added the inscription saying “Let your boat sail peacefully all your life!”.

I enter this card to the following challenges:

Craft-alnica’s  Challenge #85 “Sea”
Deep Ocean Challenge Blog’s Challenge #54 Welcome Summer

The Owl

For this card I used Gorjuss’s stamp “The Owl” and coloured the image using Promarkers. The card is quite simple; I only added seams with 3D-Liner around the border.

As the owl is also a symbol of wisdom, I enter this card to Craftalnica’s Challenge #84 with the title “School is over – holidays are coming”.

Furry cat

At Craft-alnica they posted a new challenge - Challenge #83 – 1 2 3.

This means you have to use 1 motive, 2 design papers and 3 supplements.

 
I used:

1 motive (Helz Cuppleditch’s “Flower girl” cat, coloured with Promarkers plus a bit of white 3D-Liner for fur),

2 design papers (Tim Holtz’s idea-ology for the background and First Edition’s Love letters for green embossed paper) and

3 supplements (paper flowers, embossed inscription and liquid pearls),
and made this birthday card.
