Good Morning everyone
Today im sharing the 2 cards I made for my brothers birthday
This brother absolutely is NOT a morning person, mum would always threaten to take him to school in his pyjamas as he just wouldn't get up in the mornings.....and yes she would have and he knew that so It did work. When he was in the army his mates would actually have to tip him out of bed in the mornings. Even at 42 he is just as bad and don't even attempt to talk to him before 10am! So when i saw these fun aall&create stamps in the sales i knew they would be perfect for him....He is also a caffeine addict!
I made a little concertina card from kraft card, each section measures 5x3"
I stamped the images onto kraft card and then papers without too much pattern from my scrap box. I cut out one whole character from kraft card, just his head from a 2nd kraft card and then his PJ's, mug & slipper from the papers and adhered together.
I found this fab sky background with has kind of rays coming down and covered in dots of silver holographic which was perfect for the background so i added to each panel. I tore green paper for some ground for him to stand on - this from my scrap drawer. I added the character in place. Stamped the sentiment onto more kraft card and cut into a funky shape- felt that kind of matches the vibe this card was giving me😁
Showing the card opened out, i carried on the blue sky and green grass on each panel. To the middle panel i added the 2nd character. To the left panel i die cut the sentiment from kraft card into a scalloped circle, which i matted onto a sun die cut from yellow. On the right panel i added a yellow die cut oval to write the greeting on........which my other brother thought was an egg😁
This 2nd character I also stamped onto kraft card and paper pieced his PJ top and cup. This quote reads 'Ok, but coffee first'
This photo also shows the holographic dots on the background too, when the light hits them they really come to life, like raindrops.
Items Used:
aall&create stamps #252 'coffee first' #253 'Morning'
spellbinders oval & inverted scallop circle dies
MFT sun die
CraftUK ltd kraft card
patterned papers from the works

and card 2
6x6" stepper card die cut from kraft card.
Last year i was lucky to win a choice of 3 digistamps from 'The paper shelter' and i choose this digi called 'cockatoo rules'. For this card i used the precoloured image and found a marbled paper in my stash that worked well for the background. After matting the paper panels on to the card front I added the cockatoo which i had printed out twice, cut out and decoupaged so he has lots of dimension. I added glossy accents to his sunglasses and bike light.
Birthday sentiment & 2 screw heads die cut from gold mirri card to finish. I added the screw heads to the top of the side panels for a little embellishment.
Sorry for the rubbish photos, had to take them on a dark dank day!

Two wonderful cards the design of the fist one shows the story well and I love the expression on his face. 2nd is brilliant another fun card. Ginny x
ReplyDeleteTwo colourful and fun cards Emma and the first sounds absolutely perfect for that Brother. One of my Son's was much the same and I can remember a couple of occasions when the school bus which came to the Fen to pick them up was actually outside and he still in PJ's.
