Alien Scape Happy Birthday

This is a boys Happy Birthday card with cuts made from a file set that I bought from http://www.svgcuts.com/. They have great files for sale at reasonable prices (and no, I don't work for them or get a commission, lol!). They just have great stuff. All of the cuts from the front (except for the font is from that file collection). And the "out of this world" and the UFO on the inside are from that collection. The oval is a basic shape that comes with the SCAL 2.0 program. And the "sunshine-y" shape behind the oval is one that I got from Susan Bluerobot's blog. You should check it out, she is soooo talented!

For the front of the card I used a thin black cardstock and I splattered it with white paint to make the background. The aliens, the sun, Mars, and Saturn are all just different colors of cardstock cut and layered. "Happy Birthday" is the font CK Bowlorama. I used googly eyes on the aliens to make it a little more fun.

On the inside I used sticker letters for the "you are". I also lined the inside of the card with a thick purple cardstock to make it sturdy. The size of the card is 8 1/2"x5 1/2".

Boys Happy Birthday Crown-Card #3

It is soooo hard to create a teen boys birthday card. I had not set out to make one. This was part of the "Happy Birthday" series that I am making. I am so happy with how it came out. The base is the same as the Froggy cards. The crown is from the Indie Art cartridge. I ran the crown through the Swiss Dots embossing folder (can you tell I love that folder! LOL). Then I added the top layer to it in red. I also added some bling on the crown. On the inside I added a strip of matching ribbon. Photo corners are by an EK Success punch. TFL!
