Birthday Card for Another Grandson

I have a grandson celebrating his 17th birthday today. His favorite basketball team is the Boston Celtics. He has the desire to play basketball himself, maybe someday he will. But at the moment his talents seem to be more in the academic arena. Last year he was inducted into the National Honor Society.

The 5.25 X 6.25 card was designed using the Gypsy and cut on the Cricut Expression.
The Happy Birthday( A Child's Year cartridge) was welded to the frame and a separate gold one was cut and glued on top later. The card frame (Sports Mania cartridge) was cut then the layers were cut and glued on top. A basketball (SM) was cut, covered with Glossy Accents and Glue Pop Dot over the frame basketball. Prismacolor Colored Pencils were used to outline the player and add white detail to his suit.

The A7 envelope was made using the Martha Stewart Scoreboard.

Birthday Card for 12 Year Old

This is a card I made for a grandson who will be 12 years old tomorrow. I chose the colors of blue, brown and green for a My Pink Stamper challenge.

 The envelope was made using the Martha Stewart scoreboard. For the A6 card the printed paper rectangle( George), trumpet ( Paper Dolls for Everyday), basketball ( Sports Mania), shield ( Paper Doll Dress Up), Happy Birthday and numbers (Doodletype) were cut out using the Provocraft Gypsy, Cricut Expression and Cricut cartridges.


                             
The edges of the card and shield were inked  using Ranger Distress Pine Needle ink. Ranger Glossy Accents was used to highlight the basketball.

Provocraft Cuttlebug and birthday folder were used to emboss the paper inside the card.
