My kind of Lego…

Hello – Happy Monday! Hope you have had a great weekend?  Our weekend was full of family time including a 1st birthday party for our gorgeous Great Nephew – Oscar! I knew exactly the type of card I wanted to create but this was actually only made yesterday morning just a few hours before heading out to the party. Alothugh I really do think Sunday mornings are the perfect time for Lego building and this is my type of Lego building…well ok ….crafting!!! Haha This was the card in progress… The card base is half an A4 sheet (so A5) and each Lego block is either 2″ x 2″, 2″ x 1″ or 1″ x 1″ and the circle punch is 3/4″ – I was actually going more for a Duplo look rather than Lego pieces so went for larger circles. I have sponged the edges of the circles to give them shading in the same colour as the cardstock (Real Red, Pacific Point & Daffodil Delight) The words and large number 1 was from the bundle ‘Number of Years’. Oscar’s name is die cut from some retired letters but any alphabet set is a great investment for personalising cards. I have also made the envelope. This was a 11.5″ x 11.5″ piece of paper & I used the envelope punch board to make the envelope to fit the A5 card. Hope you like it – Back soon, Emma x If you’d like to make this card, here are the supplies I have used:
