Charlotte is 1

Good Morning everyone, i hope you had a good weekend

This week my youngest niece will be 1 - not sure where that years gone to😀 - the first card is a shaker card

6x6 purple cardbase.  Using serif craft artist i used a digi kit (daisytrail elephant memories) to design the background with a soft lilac paper, the elephant and sentiment, i made the 1 nice and large and with an inside line, after printing out i carefully cut around the inside on the number 1 following the inner line with a craft knife.   I backed with acetate and used 3d foam tape on the whole back of the card apart from where the 1 is.  I filled the shaker pocket with micro beads, glitter & sequins and backed with silver holographic card and then attached to the card front.  

I printed out the elephant a 2nd time, fussy cut out and decoupaged over the first one and added some glossy accents to his eyes and balloons. 

Whenever i make something for the children i make sure it is all super well stuck and no chance of just falling apart - especially if it has small pieces - so by using foam tape on the whole of the back of this card it has no chance of micro beads or sequins leaking out into small hands and mouths

just a close up of the shaker pocket - you can really see the silver holographic card in the background sparkling. 

and onto card 2 for my parents to give - a very simple one

6x6 white cardbase.  I matted a hobby house topper onto pink glitter card, then found a paper in my stash in pinks & greens to pick up on the topper colours - plus i didn't want a pink overload - matted onto pink glitter card and then the base, i rounded all corners as i went.  Computer printed sentiments die cut into circles, pink inked edges.  I added touches of glitter glue to the topper to finish.
