Thought I should draw your attention to an item in the Online Extravaganza which is in the 20% off section. This continues while stock lasts or until 28th November, whichever comes first.
Large Number Framelits are one of the most used items in my kit. Hardly a week goes by when I don't use them for something and I really believe they're a
must have item.
Instead of the usual $54.00 they are $43.20 until 28th November, and this Lego card is one you could make with them, with just a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment and a circle punch.
Boys Will Be Boys is a retired stamp set which had Lego as one of its stamps, so this set remains in my stash while I have 5 young grandsons to craft for (and with). For the Lego on the front of the card, I have cut squares and rectangles and punched small circles in the same colour to construct the blocks. This card was for the recent birthday of one of my grandsons, along with the Lego gift.
For this next card, I was creating a card for a lady turning 60. The Number Framelits cut a Dazzling Diamonds 6 & 0 for the centre of this floral display, from Timeless Love. It was fun to colour the flowers all different shades of pink. Another stamp from Timeless Textures is stamped over the background, and the sentiment comes from Cottage Greetings.
When making a card for such a significant birthday, I do use a few layers, including on the inside,I find it helps to balance the card a bit better, and just looks more luxurious.
A little close-up of those lovely numbers and the watercolouring.

When I headed of to Stampin' Up!® Onstage in Brisbane earlier this month I had a bundle of swap cards in my suitcase. I usually find that I can only make a dozen or so due to time constraints, so this year I used Touches of Texture with Cottage Greetings. 
You may have started the blog here with me, or arrived from Kelly's blog, but either way, please remember that blog hops continue in a circle, until you get back to your starting point.

This week at CASE-ing The Catty we are CASE-ing the Petals and Paisley section of the Holiday Catty. I chose a card at the bottom left of the catalogue picture, and changed the colours up to Sweet Sugarplum and Pool Party, but I needed to re-ink my Pool Party ink pad and the colour is a bit faint. I love those two colours together and have the glittery ribbon to match!!
Next I turned to the next page , as that was included in our challenge and CASEd a Totally Trees card. Again, I changed up the colours and the particular tree stamp used but it has been heat embossed in copper, and I used the same washi tape under the same sentiment. That one comes from Happy Happenings, one of those stamp sets full of sentiments for many occasions.
