Happy 1st Birthday Tony!

Hello and happy Thursday!

Today I'm sharing a birthday card that I made for my friend's nephew's first birthday.  She didn't care what I made...anything fit for a little boy.

I used a Sizzix train die that I've had forever!!

I made the track by using a picket fence die and cutting off the tops of the posts to make them look like tracks.

Happy 1st birthday Tony!

Harry Potter Happy First Birthday!

Hello and happy Wednesday!!

Today I'm sharing a card that I'm over the moon about!

I don't usually brag over a card.  Actually I'm not even bragging.  I look at it and see a LOT of flaws...and yet I still love it!

I love Harry Potter.

I was so excited when I had a request for a 1st birthday card for a family that loves the Potter series as well.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do when I received the request.  I thought on it for  a while and decided I wanted to make my own Harry. (I don't have a H.P. stamp)  This actually got me very excited because I haven't used my Sizzix Dress Up Dolls in YEARS!  I really need to get them out more.  They may be "old" but they're still adorable!  I drew his face on and colored all his clothes to match the Gryffindor uniform.

The torch and flame were improvised from other dies.  The torch bottom is the bottom of a Sizzix lantern and the flame is from the campfire in the same set.

The broom is also the flame that I cut up and turned upside down to look like the bristles.

I also made the card for this child's baby shower last year.
