A Barnyard Babies 2nd Birthday Celebration Card from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

Happy Wednesday Crafters ;0)

I have a special 2nd Birthday card to share with you this morning. This was made for a friend's grandson who we celebrated with at the weekend. He lives on a farm and loves spending time with the animals. I created this card for him last year with the same stamp set and wanted to use the lovely farm animals again for his 2nd birthday.

I started with a Marina Mist cardbase which I layered with Wild Wasabi. I then used my Basic Black ink pad to stamp the farm animals all over my Whisper White layer.

For the feature layer I stamped the number 2 from the Number of Years stamp set. I then stamped it again on to the sticky bit of a post it note to create a mask. I then stamped the cow to make it appear like he is peeking out behind the number.

I hand coloured the cow and chick with my Stampin' Write Markers and then added the black outline to my number 2 to make it stand out more. The final detail I added was Clear Wink of Stella painted over the top of the 2 to give a bit of sparkle.

A very special Playful Pals Birthday from Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Sarah Poulton

I have a super special card to share with you today. It is my littlies 2nd Birthday so I sat down to create her something special using my Playful Pals stamp set. I did a quick Pinterest search for different animals I could make and I came across one post that had used the elements for little monsters. So I set about creating my little quartet of creatures.

I tried to use as many elements as possible to create my little critters. You might recognise the googly eyes from an old Valentines Stampin' Up! kit called Monster Hugs (which made me fall in love with little crafty monsters).

I loved adding all the little details to them like the little bows and the textured tummies.

The card itself measures 12" x 4". I used the thick piece of cardboard that comes in a DSP pack as I knew I wanted a thicker sturdier base to stand up to a 2 year old and 3 year olds handling. I layered my white card base with DSP from the Its My Party Paper Stack. I added the stamped 2 using my Number of Years bundle.

And here is my little 2 year old celebrating and being cheeky as always:

I have another birthday card to share with you on Monday that features a lovely little punch art mouse. Pop back then to find out more.
