I am soooo excited to share this special handmade card with you guys. This is the first portrait card that we made. My subject, one of my most beautiful friends who celebrated her special day this July. I say one of the most beautiful 'coz I don't want my other beautiful friends to be jealous! LOL. Here she is! A very fine and smart lady!

| Portrait Stencil Card Step 1 |
For my first ever post of instructional crafts, I will share the birthday banner making, LEGO themed gift wrapping, and a handmade explosion box card for my husband.
He celebrated his 30th birthday this July and I had so much plans in store for his birthday. Like a LEGO themed birthday party with birthday banners, party hats, loot bags and all. LOL. But only a portion has materialized. What I did instead is a simple banner, wrapped his gift (a LEGO set), and made him an explosion box card. Thus, the three parts of this post:
I. Birthday Banner
For the birthday banner, here are the quick easy steps:
1) Cut out triangle shapes for the banner, you can pick the colour that will suit your theme. I used construction paper that I readily have for the banners.;
2) Cut out letters for the HAPPY BIRTHDAY and glue them on the banner cut-outs. For the letters, I used pastel coloured papers; and
3) Line them up and tape the ribbon at the top back side of the banner.
Here's the final product, with the birthday boy of course!
Amjay's Birthday Banner
With Amjay's artistry and my craftsmanship, we can create wonderful cards for our family and friends depending on their personality and for different occasions. Some of our ideas are inspired by images/posts/links we found in the internet.
The objective of this blog is to mainly show how you can create handcrafted cards or any other crafts with the use of your hands and simple tools.
Since we have moved here in the UK, I was able to make time for my crafts and here are the cards that we have made before creating this blog.
