50th Birthday Card

My nephew celebrated his 50th birthday at the beginning of September. As usual I made a card for him. The card is 6 X 6 with four layers on the front.


 The papers are from DCWV. The gold glitter paper is from my stash, so I'm not sure who is the manufacturer. I embossed the black denim with a Cuttlebug birthday folder, then I sanded it with a Tim Holtz sander.
The fonts used are from Cricut cartridges Birthday Cakes and Elegant Cakes for the 50th and Birthday Cakes for the sentiment on the inside of the card.

Machines used Cricut Expression, Gypsy and Sizzix Big Shot. ATG and Zig 2 Way adhesives were used.

PARTY HAT BIRTHDAY CARD

Another grandson will be celebrating his (19th) birthday next week. I once again used the Cricut Celebrations cartridge.



The card base(5 1/2 X 6 1/2) is Core’dinations Black Magic Collection that I embossed with the Cuttlebug Happy Birthday folder and Cuttlebug machine. I distressed it with the Tim Holtz sanding block.

DCWV paper was used for the diecuts cut with the Cricut Expression. The party hat on page 105 of the Celebrations cartridge was cut at 4 inches. The sentiment(page 125) was cut at 1 3/4 inches.

“Happy Birthday” stamp by Recollections was stamped with Momento Black ink.




The Fiskars clear stamp phrase was stamped with Momento Black ink. Fiskars Shape Templates were used to cut the ovals.

Slice of Cake Birthday Card

Today is my grandson Thaddeus' 19th birthday. One of the things he loves is chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, matter of fact that is my favorite cake as well. The perfect slice of cake is found on the From My Kitchen cartridge. Using the Provocraft Gypsy and Baby Bug I was able to make him the perfect birthday card ( 6 1/4 X 5 1/4).
