Lego Valentine

Hello blog friends.

A little bit ago, I posted a Lego card that I made

for a birthday and my nephew just loved it.

For Valentine's Day I wanted to make something special

for him.  The other cards I made just didn't

look like something a young boy would like,

so I decided to make him another Lego card.

I found a picture of a Lego heart online

and recreated it with some background pieces

made with alcohol inks from my stash.

I designed it and

 cut all the Lego pieces with my Silhouette,

then pieced them together onto

white card stock.

Each of the little circles are on tiny

foam dot adhesive pieces.

It was a bit fussy, but well worth

the time, as I love how it turned out.

I hope Anthony loves it as much as I do.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way and

will come again soon.

Until then

think outside the box and try something

new!

Lego Card

Hello and welcome to
Kristie Kreates!

Today I have a birthday card to share 

with you.  My niece's little guy loves

Legos, so I thought a Lego card would

be perfect for him.

I started with a piece from my stash that

I had created with alcohol inks on glossy

paper.  I simply swiped across the paper

with green, then swiped stripes across with blue,

 turned the paper 90 degrees 

and swiped with more blue.

  This created a plaid background.

 I thought this would work well for a 

background panel.

I then created the legos with my 

Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software.

These were simple enough, just a rectangle 

and circles.  I cut them out with my Silhouette,

using scraps from my stash.

I glued the "base" pieces onto the background panel,

then used round foam adhesive behind the circles

to give the dimension of the Legos.

I used foam tape to adhere this piece to a 

white card stock base, to make a sort of

pocket.

I made a tag to slip in behind the 

Lego panel.
I found a Lego font online, downloaded

it and cut that for the

Happy Birthday sentiment.

When Anthony opened his card, I heard

a "Oh Wow!" from him and that made

me smile.

Thanks for spending time at my blog today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Now go be creative!

Lego Card

Hi all!

Today I have a card that I made for my 

'great nephew' Anthony.

It was for his 7th birthday party and I struggle with 

boy cards. I was hemming and hawing about what to

do for his card.

He loves Star Wars and Mine Craft,

but nothing was clicking.

Someone said, 

"I have a picture here of Star Wars Legos,

you could use it on the card"

That did it, Legos!  of course!  He LOVES Legos.

It really was very simple to make,

cut 1" strips of paper and punch out circles,

then put them on the strips with foam tape.

Once the idea formed in my mind, 

it all came together pretty easily.

Here is a close up of the "Legos" where they show up 

a bit better.

I thought they turned out really great.

The "Happy Birthday" was stamped

in Versa Fine Black Onyx ink.

I love the bright colors and thought they were perfect for 

a 7 yr old boy.

So next time you need a boy card, think Legos,

after all who doesn't love Legos?

Thanks for stopping in today.

I hope to see you again soon.

Keep crafting!
