Birthday for a builder

Hello again, 

Well, my trip to the city specialist (even had to cross the Harbour Bridge) has yet to have an outcome, I need to keep seeing my physio('s) regularly for treatment, he told me to keep seeing Liz- which is fine but both my physios are called Liz and they are friends, so he hadn't talked to the Liz I saw last week and I hope he has talked to the other Liz I see this week... (did I just confuse you all)… 

Today I am sharing another card I made for my friends card order which I finally sent to her in Northern NSW, this is a card I have 'Cased' from Maxine of Kiwime's Kreations as my friends father-in-law was a builder and he is now into his nineties so any cards with tools are appreciated. Many Thanks for the inspiration Maxine! This would also be a great Fathers day card.... I had to die cut the drill from the opposite side to make it fit.

Here is my take on Maxine's card:-

What I used:-

White 10.5x14.8cm card blank

CCD Tools dies

Washi tape

Scraps, white, black and gold

MFT stitched rectangle die

Wood grain paper

MFT Happy Birthday sentiment stamp (Essential Sentiments)

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Adhesives:- Double sided tape, PVA glue

Thank you for stopping by...

Have a wonderful week...

Crafty Sentiments Designs 

PRIZE 3 Digi Stamps

I have used a stamp set freebie from my magazine subscription to make a birthday card, the set includes a few flowers and pretty vase and a mason style jar which I have used here. I have stamped and heat embossed the mason jar, fish and sentiment in silver, gold and black. Using up some scrap distress oxide background pieces to make the jar and the fish, I die cut the circle background with some adhesive sheet attached to a scrap of black card, cutting it in two to make it fit across the width of the card front. Not that you can see them but I also heat embossed some extra fish in clear on the card front, before doodling in the border.

Here is my card:-

Box card 40th Birthday

Hello again,

One final post before the big day, this one is my brother's 40th birthday card which I held off posting until after the day had been, he lives interstate and my parents drove down for a pre birthday party, being born Christmas week makes celebrating on the real day more difficult. I stayed home due to my complicated low histamine and Auto-Immune Protocol Diet, he will have opened his presents and cards so it is safe to share them here.

I did a little digging into 'famous' or 'popular' movies, bands/songs, kids toys, games etc. before making the card featuring a couple of big hit movies of 1977, I also bought him a genuine 1977 hit game, no not the true 1977 version but the still available in toy stores Rummikub, Star Wars Calendar, 40th Anniversary copy of Smokey and the Bandit etc. I haven't heard back from him so don't know how everything went down....

Here is my card:

What I used:-

Black card stock

MME My Girl patterned paper

MME Happy Day papers

R2D2 Pattern from here (I shrunk it to the right size and added my own design)

Viewmaster made by tracing a photo of one I found on Google

Viewmaster discs from here

Cassette tape from Kate Hadfield

Pixel Scrapper British flag

Free Download James Bond (Papercrafts inspirations-no longer available)

CCD Balloon Die

CCD Sentiment Die

Lawn Fawn Riley's Alphabet

Black fine line pen

Memento Tuxedo Black ink

1977 printed in large print on PC and cut out of silver glitter card

Various coloured scrap card stock to make all the elements

Black and white twine

Clear acetate- saved from packaging

Adhesives:- Double sided tape, foam adhesive, Diamond Glaze, glue dots

The balloons all got a liberal coating of Diamond glaze to give them some shine

Bond James Bond

Hello again,

So this month I had a big push to make a couple of 40th Birthday cards for my brother along with all the Christmas cards, after looking up some of the popular films, shows, toys and games of 1977 I settled on a suit card with a James Bond image for the first, James Bond The Spy who Loved me was first released in 1977 and can still be found in DVD format, which my parents gave him last weekend, a surprise for us that he intends on waiting to open his gifts and cards until his real birthday a few days before Christmas. Since he doesn't see my blog it is safe for me to share.

I was inspired by this card which I found on Pinterest but gave the card my own twist.

Here is my card:-

What I used:-
White Card blank 12.4x17.4
Black card stock
Patterned paper from Echo Park Style Essentials
Tiny James Bond sign from here
James Bond images are an old download from Papercraft Inspirations (no longer available)
Black bling from stash
Silver glitter card
Nesting circle die
Elizabeth Craft Happy Birthday die
Memory Box Parker Alphabet die
Buttons and Silver star brads
Signo White gel ink pen
