Grunge boy scene Birthday card (The Greeting Farm stamp)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I have 3 scenery cards today to show and they're all different from each other, using different dies/scene items. I used a few dies for this card - lamp post, window, ground border. The gorgeous boy stamp is from The Greeting Farm. I added clear adhesive plastic to the windows but I'm not sure you can see it in the photo.

It's a Harry Potter Birthday card (Bugaboo image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I know, I know, if you've just come from my last cards you'll see this is my second wizard boy card which isn't usually my style but Cupcake Inspirations blog has a witches and wizards challenge and I thought I'd finally colour up these 2 gorgeous little wizards that I have in my stash. This was a relatively easy card to make, randomly cutting papers on a slant to add to the background and then adding some thin green cardstock to give some extra colour to the background. The cute digi comes from Bugaboo, I added some polka dots to his outfit and punched out some stars.

Have a Magical Day (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Aww, isn't this little magician just so sweet? I turned my card into a triangular type shape by just shaving about 3cm off each top side, it's very easy but I like how this shape turns out for something a bit different. I added some Glossy Accents to the magic ball he's holding and the stars but it's hard to tell in the photo. You can find this sweet boy at Little Miss Muffet. The sentiment is from one of Lawn Fawn's fairy stamp sets.

Hi Crafty Friends,

How cute is this little boy from Tiddly Inks? I added some glossy accents to his goggles, arm bands and swim ring. I created the background sky using ink, sponge and a handmade cloud template. I have 2 gorgeous wave dies so I decided to incorporate them both into the scene. 

I used a sun from Flourish with a Bling store. It is part of an "Up in the sky" set.

Circular Basketball teenage Birthday card

Hi Crafty Friends,

One of my son's friends is right into basketball this year so I decided to google basketball clipart and found this one. I enlarged it and printed it onto glossy photo paper then die cut it with one of my circle dies. I die cut a larger black circle too to make the card a little larger. I also printed out the sentiment on glossy paper. Quite a simple card but I think it turned out quite well for a teenager.
