2 birthday cards for my son

Well it's my son's 20th birthday on Sunday, so I decided to make him a card. Unfortunately I made one then another idea popped into my head so in the end I have made him two haha.

The 1st one is made with Pollyanna's Walk in the wild paper kit, using the wolf image.

I used white card and black card from creative crafting world. Backing paper and large decoupage image from the paper kit. 

The flourish and birthday sentiment and son is from Crafter's Companion website. 

The 2nd card I made 

I used white card stock and made it into a pop up card.

Black card to make it pop.

I used Sheena Douglas's a little bit sketchy shout stamp set,

I stamped the images and used Tim Holtz distress ink, Faded Jeans and inked the edges.

I used Sara's male signature range dies

The stars and also the guitar, and the happy birthday sentiment. And the son die is from the only words die'sire die.

Everything I have used on these two cards are available from

Well after being newrly married for 9 years on 25/06 I decided to try and complete my wedding album.

I am loving the new Sara Davies love and romance signature collection for Crafter's Companion, I have made 2 scrapbook pages today. 

The 1st page I used love in bloom from the 12x12 pad, I cut a 6in circle and used barn door to distress the edges. And I cut the hearts from the love heart die from the love and romance range. 

I used the you & me from 12x12in pad. 

Cut 2 circles in white card and did faux stitching around the edges. "I love you so much" & "all my love" from the 

stamp set. I did faux stitching on the hearts and I cut 2 always and forever  die cut in black and white card to do a dropped shadow effect.
