cards for kids – Cynthia's Creative Corner

Category: cards for kids

Dinosaurs are the theme for today! When I saw the Dino Days Bundle in the new catalogue I just had to have it! This stamp set with matching dies and designer paper is so much fun to work with!

Isn’t it cute?! The matching Dino Dies fit perfectly for a nice close cut! The paper – oh my so many great designs!

After I stamped these cute images I needed a card layout so am following along with the Freshly Made Sketches layout.

As you can see, I used a little artistry to used the palm tree for those strips on the upper left.

Birthday, cards for kids

Comments

Some things stay the same and others change. That’s what’s going on with todays cute card!

The Animal Outing stamp set is sticking around(yay, ’cause it’s so cute) but not as a bundle. So, if you want to save 10% then now is the time to purchase the bundle which includes the Animal Friends Thinlits Dies.

I always save the scraps of designer paper so was able to use a piece from the Animal Expedition package for this card. I also used the New Stitched Nested Labels Dies so we have a little “change” with the “same”!

Here’s the list of products for you. Remember – you only have until June 3rd to get your picks from the Last Chance Lists!

Well, I was disappointed to see that the Geared Up Garage Bundle is going away soon. It’s a great set so I made good use of it to create this card for my youngest grandson’s birthday.

GARAGE IN A BOX

3D, Birthday, cards for kids

Comments

Happy April Fool’s Day! Today’s post is no joke though! I had fun creating this Garage in a box for card class tomorrow night.

The request was to make cards for kids and since kids like lots of colour and shapes this card should be perfect!

The Geared up Garage Cling bundle and matching Classic Garage Designer Series Paper Stack was lots of fun to play with! The greeting from Postcard Pals matched really well with the garage theme too! I found the pattern for this on Splitcoast Stampers at this link and adjusted the measurements so it would fit into our Stampin’ Up! medium envelopes(107301).

Here’s the list of products used.

LETTERS FOR YOU

cards for kids, Techniques

4 Comments

I’m taking a turn to a different kind of card today – this one uses the Letters for You photopolymer stamp set to create a card for kids.

I love it and also used a fun technique on it as well. Did you know that you can emboss with framelits? Well, with special layering you can! Start with the Big Shot platform (no tabs), add a Standard cutting pad, a cardstock shim and then the Silicone rubber sheet. Then lay your card layer down and add the framelits (cutting side up). Layer another Standard cutting pad over top, add another cardstock shim and run it all through the Big Shot. Presto – you have just embossed with a framelit! (Click on the picture to see the background).

You can check out all of the Big Shot accessories I used in my Online Store.

I used bright colours to play along with The Paper Players Colour Challenge this week.

Here’s the list of all of the products that I used.

I hope you are inspired to give this Embossing with Framelits technique a try, it adds that little extra pop to your project!

Happy Stamping!

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

~~~Connie~~~

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
