Birthday Card for My 2 Year Old Grandson

February 14th is my youngest grandson's birthday, and this year he turned two. This past year I have been getting back into crocheting and have started working on crocheting afghans for my 8 grandchildren. Every Christmas is one family, and then the next. So when I started thinking what could I possibly crochet for my eldest son's family that live in Phoenix, where it's hot all the time...well my son said that the teenage girls would still appreciate afghans, and my little grandson would love booties and a pullover sweater for the cooler days. My thought was it doesn't ever get cool down there, does it?

Well I went ahead and made his some slipper booties for his birthday, and plan to send him a pullover for Christmas. But that's not what this post is all about...it's about the card!

He loves to be outdoors and so I created this card for him.

I coloured the bird using the new Watercolour pencils and a blender pen.

Not because his birthday is on Valentines Day did I stamp hearts and a kiss, but because if I were there I would give him hugs and kisses.

So now I just wait and see if he likes his slippers and card...

Thank you for stopping by today to have a look, and for putting up with some of my 'Grandma' stuff.

Happy creating!

Penned & Painted Wedding

Cutting into the sharing of "Thoughtful Branches" Limited Bundle Set projects available for the month of August only,  and showing you instead, a wedding card I made using the lovely new Penned & Painted stamp set. I hope to have a future class with this set, but I have to tell you this is a must have set! Do I say that every time I use a new set? Sorry, but once I started using it, all these ideas came into my head and I can see using this set for years to come. I love the three step set that creates the watercolour painted & penned look.

So let's get on to showing you the wedding card.

No, there is no die set for this card, but those of you that know me well, know that I love to fussy cut, and a wedding just calls out for that. Here is a close up of the details. Used the Metallic Silver Thread here and there as well.

I photoed both sides of the card for you and put them together in this collage.

And then there is the inside. I opted to just use the 'painted' part of the stamps on the inside and added the sentiment from 'Best Birds' (both sentiments are from this stamp set).

One more thing to share with you about this card, it is a 5 x 7 card rather than usual size I make.

So excited to make cards for a class now, but I will be getting back to sharing ideas with the 'Thoughtful Branches' bundle first. If you can't wait till the class, go ahead and order it now; you can always bring it to class with you later.

Happy stamping!

Whoops, I forgot to include the Silver Metallic Thread - 138402, and the Pool Party ink pad - 126982.
