Jacks first birthday




This card, gift bag and gift card envelope I made for my grandson Jack's 1st birthday on the 13th December.

Birthday card

To begin with I used Stampin ups I dig you stamp set and stamped the digger & truck with memento dew drop cantaloupe ink pad. I stamped them both twice, one for the card & the other for the gift bag.
Coloured over the tyres using copic C9.

For the background I made a mask for the dirt area then drew a line where the sky ended & dirt began.
To make the sky I dabbed a nappy wipe onto "salty ocean" distress ink pad & smeared it over the card-stock giving it a natural blue sky look.

To make the dirt I dabbed memento dew drop "desert sand" ink over the mask.

I frantaged the backgrounds by sprinkling Stampenduous frantage shabby white embossing enamel on the sand and shabby blue on the sky, using a heat gun to set the enamel & glitter.

I created the tag using Stampin up punch & used the memento desert sand around the edges,

Happy dirtday stamp is included in the I dig you stamp set.


Gift Bag

The gift bag was made using "we are memory keepers" gift bag punch board and the "medium" directions. The handles are made from a pipe cleaner cut in half and stuck onto the bag with glue dots.
The top was decorated using Fiskars punch set.
The tag is from spellbinders nestabilities lucious label die.

Gift card envelope
Was made using the we are memory keepers envelope punch board and the "gift card" directions.
The birthday stamps are from K-Marts clear stamp sets.

The photos don't do them justice & they look much better in real life
