This weekend my niece’s two children both celebrated their birthdays–one day apart. On Friday, Finn turned five, and on Saturday, Rowen turned three. I love making birthday cards for kids. Finn’s card was inspired by Sandie’s photo prompt, “Digits” for the 30 Day Photo Challenge. It’s an almost perfect entry for AAA Cards Birthday Challenge. Finn turned five and the AAA Card Challenge just turned six.
I’ve used this number border by Papertrey Ink many times, but I think this is my favorite card so far. The green and orange seem to work wonderfully together.
All the numbers except the five are “empty.” I stacked three orange 5’s before inlaying them in the border so it stands out both in color and dimension.
The sentiment is from My Favorite Things, “Bitty Birthday Wishes” and the arrow on the banner points to the inside where it says, “For the Birthday Boy.”
Rowan’s card is another entry to the AAA Birthday Challenge: Wings. The previous entries were cards with butterflies as the focal image. This is a more imaginative entry–a unicorn with wings.
The stamped and die cut images are from My Favorite Things “Fairy Tale” set and the sentiment is from the same set I used for Finn’s card.
The glittery stars were stenciled with Nuvo Silver Gem Glimmer Paste and the Altenew “Milky Way” stencil. Lots of sparkly dimension.
Too coordinate with the sparkly stars, I embossed the greeting in silver on black cardstock.
Such a sweet card. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join us again. Tina DT
Both are perfect cards for kids. The 5 year olds I know, love counting, so that numbers card is perfect & what little girl doesn’t like unicorns. I thank you for saying that you stacked the numbers, when I was trying to make a numbers birthday card I got the recipe wrong for the numbers, I thought you cut out the number, not built it up – your way is going to be so much easier. (col at myself).
These are such adorable cards! The green and yellow number card looks awesome and is perfect for our challenge. Thank you very much for joining us at AAA cards birthday celebrations. Hugs ~ Ishani.
