Old Man Party Birthday Card

This is a A2 birthday card for a long time friend. This was a perfect card good for many people.  It is whimsical but sends a good message, too.  The Old Man Party is a SVG cut file from SVGcutting found here. Ovals are using Spellbinders Large Oval dies. Pattern paper is from a DCWV photo mat stack.  Of course, basic black card stock for the base is typical along with a blue card stock mat. Use a black pen to do some "hand stitching" around the mats for just a little texture.
A closer look at the Old Man here: He is popped with foam squares. A white gel pen is used to put some dots on the hat.  The white gel pen is also used on his pant and slippers for some stitching, too.  His nose is popped with foam squares. Use a little brown ink to sponge around his shirt.
 Card inside: double mat of blue and white card stock.  Stamps are from Papertrey Ink Good Times collection  found here.

Faith the Fairy Birthday Card

My Grand Niece turned 15 this year (that's almost 16!) and no more cutesy cards for her.  Pink and brown are the colors used for this theme.  This card is using Stampingbella's Uptown Girl Faith the Fairy stamp which is a bit more "grown up" for her.  The white card stock mat is using Spellbinder's Label Fourteen die popped with foam squares.  Decorative paper from my stash.  Stampin-Up Scallop Trim Boarder punch used on the strip.  Final touch is a white sheer organdy ribbon with some feminine paper flowers. Finished card size 5" x 7".
Copic colors used to color her hair: W2, W4, W6, W8. Her crown is Y17 with Clear Wink of Stella.  Skin is E000, E00, E11, R20.  Clear Wink of Stella used on the diamond wand, too. Dress is paper pieced.
The "15" is cut using my Silhouette Ariel Font which sits on a layered Silhouette Nested Banner popped with foam squares: cut file found in their library.  See the brown card stock embossing using Lifestyle Crafts Twirl embossing folder?
 Love these paper flowers and rolled wire stems.
Card inside: love the mat which was part of the decorative paper.  Cupcake is a cut out in the corner.
