Its not often that I make a card for my uncle that he really likes but this was one of those, he laughed when he saw it and said it was almost like I had taken a photo of him in his chair, a very rare compliment from this particular gent lol.
Ingredients

Dies: blueprints 13 and basic and stitched tag corner rectangle stax all from MFT
I was so delighted with the first card I made like this I went back and printed a load more, of course I forgot to take pictures of them but they were so much fun to make.
This one is more muted than the others but I still like it a lot and I hope the recipient did too. Now you are probably thinking why did she make her own birthday card but this is in fact for my cousin who is named after me....poor thing lol.

Now what do you do when the image you are using for the two year old boys was already used for the big brothers card well you go a completely different way thats what lol.
I enjoyed colouring this dragon/dino boy to look like a welsh dragon even though he isn't welsh lol.

Dies: Blueprints 1 and 13 and notched border die all MFT
Card: real red from Stamping Up
Paper: Toy Box from Nit Wit
Sometimes I wish I had bought dies to match the stamps when they are this teeny and then I realise that they don't make dies and also that I am a cheapstake lol.
When i was making this card during a zoom call my friend said I must really love the person I am making this for as it was a lot of work and I said I certainly do.
Ingredients

Sentiment: Crafters Companion
Dies: Blueprints 29
Inks: salvaged patina distress oxide
For this one I coloured the bear lighter as I had learnt my lesson from the last version and I also paper pieced the letter, I think the paper is from Echo Park giddy up but I wouldn't swear to it lol.
I think I might make more of these for later in the year but then that means I am not using all my other neglected supplies

Dies: Blueprints 29 from MFT
Card: Hawaiian Shores from Papertrey Ink
This is the second card and I coloured the bear a bit too dark and had to put glossy accents on the letters so that you could see her name. I know as a little one receiving something with my name on always made me smile and I hope the same is true for these little ones

Card: amethyst allure from Papertrey Ink
I saw a card on instagram or facebook that had used the alpha bear and I thought why have I never thought of that so I remedied it straight away and made three lol.
This is the first one and each turned out slightly different but I like them all.

I made this card the same time as the sunset one and I still have the mountain one to use but as I didn't have an idea for that one I decided to wait until I do. I don't normally create scenes and I did enjoy this so maybe there will be more in my future lol.
