Theo's 1

Hi Friends,
I made this card for a Friend whose Grandson is turning one. I stamped the image twice and cut around the boy, dog and snail layering them over the mat image.  I coloured the images with Copics  and layered the One three times for dimension.  The front of the card is die cut with a Rectangle stitched die.  I finished off with the Uniquely Creative cut of a dog on the inside.
Thanks for popping in today, lovely to have you here.

Craig's Birthday 2025

Hello Crafters,
After watching Lucy Patrick on You Tube using Washi Tape, PET Stickers and a number of Metal dies I was inspired to give the Washi and PET Stickers a try.  This was my first attempt once the products arrived, a big THANK YOU to Lucy for the inspiration.  There will be a few more cards in the future once I have time to put them on my blog. 
The stickers are attached to a mat and then the square hexagon die cuts placed over the top.  The Greeting is layered three times and attached to the center of the card. I love how it came together I hope my Son in Law does too. 

Thanks for dropping in today.

I finished off with a stamped and sponged sentiment attached with Foam Tape.
