For my birthday, I made a birthday card for my nephew!  :) 

I’m 29…  again!!!

My nephew, Liam’s 2nd birthday was in March (I’m a very behind Aunt), and he LOVES Thomas the Tank Engine!

Warning:  No Copics were used in the making of this card!!!
SHOCKER, I know!!!

I pulled out some of my Sandylion Thomas papers and stickers and hit the bricks!

It really was a very simple card, but I guess I needed one of those. 

I took my clear Thomas sticker and mounted it on white cardstock.  Then I just cut around it, leaving a white border.

Next, I took a chipboard “2″ and painted it with my acrylic paints, wrote “nd” on it, and covered it in Crystal Effects.

For the inside, I computer generated my sentiment (as always),  laid down a track sticker, and spelled out Liam’s name in train cars.  :)  For the sentiment, I couldn’t think of anything, so I searched “Thomas the Tank Engine Greeting Cards”. 

I love that this card was fun and simple, but still turned out great!  I’m sure he’ll love it as well. 

HUGS!

Supplies

Cardstock from Bazzill
Stickers and DP from Sandylion Thomas the Tank Engine line

Recently,  I was blessed with a new nephew!  His name is Michael Miller Beck, but everyone is calling him Mills.  He’s SUCH a cutie!  Well, the whole family is really big into music, so I knew I had to do something along those lines.  As soon as I saw this image from Mo’s, I knew I HAD to use it!

I’m running a little late making the card (as usual), but I REALLY wanted to make it rather than just sending them a store bought card.  Now I can get the package in the mail.  :) 

Once again, I used Mariska’s 3D directions and boy can I tell you that it is a LOT of work!  This time I got to use my new Pinflair glue that I ordered from the UK off Ebay.  It’s a little greasy, but it smells a LOT better and I don’t get a headache with it.  I have used Harley Davidson metallic paper for the background, then used more silver metallic paper with my EK Success border punch.  I also added some doodling with my Silver Sharpie Poster Paint Pen.

Isn’t he adorable???  I’ve had the image colored for a while, but didn’t make the card until today.

This is the side view so you can see all the layers.  I think I counted over 15 of them.  The guitar layers and pacifier have crystal effects on them.  Mariska, I really don’t know how you do this all the time!  I think I’m going to save this for very special cards…

 For some reason, the light wasn’t going right, but the bottom is an exact mirror of the top. 

I hope you like it… I’m sure my SIL and BIL will love it!

HUGS!
