More Manly Birthdays

 Hello everyone!  Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

Thought it was about time I shared another set of cards.   They were actually created for the same person's birthday.  The first one was made in 2019 and the second was done last year.  Goes to show how far behind I am in sharing things with you. 

This card was made at a time when I was starting to simplify my crafting.  It still has a fair bit of embellishment but not quite as much as I usually did.
Two layers of paper.  The one on the top is just slightly smaller so that the bottom one can be seen.  There's embossing and stamping on the background and, over that, I've layered a die cut with the chipboard cogs on top.  The cogs were coloured with Distress Inks and a light rubbing of Twinkling H2Os.
To finish off, I added a scattering of prills. 
This card is a similar design just a whole lot simpler.
Still two layers of paper but the top one was torn down the center so you can see a lot more of the bottom piece.  Instead of the embossing and stamping, I simply added a touch of rose gold foil
No die cuts here .. Just a piece of torn book paper underneath the cogs and clocks.  The Happy Birthday chippie on both cards is by Scrapmatts.

Here they are again, side by side.   

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Do enjoy the rest of your day.

Take care, stay safe and God Bless.

Repurposing my ATCs

 Hello everybody and welcome.  

A very warm welcome to my new followers.   So very pleased you are joining me on my creative journey.

Another quick post to show what I've been up to.  

My mojo is still missing but I did need to make some cards for upcoming birthdays.  So, what to do?

As I was hunting for inspiration I came across some ATCs I created a few years back.  They've been sitting in a box gathering dust and I thought, why not repurpose these?  So this is what I've done.

These ATCs were created for a Crafty Cardmakers Challenge back in 2018 .. if you'd like to see how they were created HERE is the post.
I changed the words ..
..  popped them onto some card blanks.
.. and this is how they turned out.  
Might be cheating a little bit but .. cards done and dusted!

That's it for now.  I'll have a few more of these to share later.

Thank you so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day.
Take care and God Bless.
