Happy Birthday to you! Lego Card

Hi and welcome to Leisa's Craft Cave and my first EVER blog post!! Yes, that's right, I am very new to this blogging thing so it's a tad daunting. If you would like to get to know me a little more, click the About Me tab at the top of my page.

I wanted to start my blog journey with something fairly simple so I have cased (copy and selectively edit) a card from Julie Kettlewell, a demo in the UK. I really like Julie's creations as they are crisp and clean in design. You can take a look at Julie's blog at www.juliesjapes.blogspot.com

My son Alex turned 9 last Saturday and like most boys, Lego has been a big part of his life.  As part of his birthday gifts we transformed one of the rooms in our home to a Lego room so I thought what better way to complete the celebrations with a Lego birthday card.

Here is my card:

The card size is 5.75" x 5.75" and I used Pacific Point as the card base.  I then layered with Whisper White to create my background.  The Lego blocks are 1 1\4" square and I used the 1/2" circle punch to make the knobs of the blocks. I used Real Red, Pacific Point, Daffodil Delight and Cucumber Crush card stock as these colours matched the Lego colours almost perfectly.  I then stamped with an sentiment from Number of Years stamp set and die cut the number 9 with the Large Number Framelits Dies.  A full list of products I used is below.

If you are in Australia and would like to purchase any Stampin' Up!® products you can shop on line with me 24/7 and don't forget to use this month's hostess code for a extra little something from me! 

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

See you next time :)
