This was a busy month in the card making department as we have six boy birthdays in our family. My three grandsons turned 11, my son's girlfriend's son turned 8 and two great nephews also were in the mix. I used the new stamp set Level Complete for all the cards in this post. The above cards were the cards I made for the grandsons. I found inspiration for my cards from Pinterest.
First up was Cade. This one was pretty much a "case" on the outside. I just added the number 11 with our Alphabet A La Mode Dies. Belly band slides off.
I added the little pop up trophy after I already had it signed (because his brothers had pop ups in theirs and well you know how that goes.) It was a good place to put some money.
Reid's card again a pretty much "case" from Pinterest. I added stars and the 11 to outside. The dies used were from the Nested Essential Die Set.
Inside I added a popup and stuck some money behind it also. Popups are so easy to make and really add an element of surprise to a card.
Jace's card inspired by a stamp set (from a different company.) He always loves to fiddle with things so I added some of our retired 1/8" Black Cord. I also embossed the red part to give it texture using one of the folders from the Online Exclusive Basic 3D Embossing folder set.
Inside of Jace's card has a little popup trophy as well. I added a few stars to one side to cover up the ink mark made on accident, oops! But they covered the boo-boos up nicely don't you think?
Jackson's card, I love all the layers. yup you guess it another Pinterest idea. Don't you just love Pinterest?
and a popup trophy for him as well. Great place to put money.
This last two are gift / money holders for my great nephews. Super easy to make.
I chose to stick some money in theirs. I hope you have enjoyed looking at the cards.
I will add that I put the regular cards in the clear envelopes and taped them to the outside of their Birthday presents. They loved that they could see them ahead of time. If you enjoyed my post and would like to see a video on how any of the cards were made, please leave me a comment and I will try my best to do one.
