HAPPY BIRTHDAY..

 Hello everyone,

My son had a birthday on the 29th May and I made a card for everyone to sign to go along with his gift..plus I cooked a full on roast beef dinner with Yorkshires and all the trimmings, such a great night.


I bought these paper pads a very lone time ago and only used four pages from them and they became my center point for this card, the height and width were perfect and love the galaxy scenes.



I made three panel in black and folded the edge in by one inch


then added the papers and printed and fussy cut Mandalorian.
My son is a big fan of Star Wars, his house is Star Wars..


R2-D2 and cp30 Darth Vader and Yoda


Thank goodness I over bought star dies so cutting was quick..


definitely over bought..


inked them up for depth..


and started adding them to pages..


The front cover with the death Star..

The Death Star was the empires ultimate weapon:
 a moon sized space station with the ability to destroy an entire planet..


The papers were spot on for this card which is 12 inches tall
and 6 inches wide.


added more characters inside the largest star - Storm Trooper


and on the left my favourite little Ewok called Wicket..
He will appear again shortly


A place to write and more stars..


The back cover


close ups..


And finally the gift we all chipped in for, the gorgeous 
Ewok - Wicket in Swarovski crystal..
and so much better than underpants and socks..

So there we go..
Thank you so much for stopping by..
See you soon..

Luv CHRISSYxx

As a Star Wars fan, I love this! I love how many different characters you were able to get in here with all the pages for people to sign, I am sure he will cherish this for years to come. The galaxy backgrounds are perfect! My son is 9 and just finally consented this year to watching Star Wars with me, but now he won't quit singing the Imperial March all the time which gets on my husband's nerves. I say it's an improvement over nonstop Jingle Bells, ha! Anyway, thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players and may the Force be with you!

I think your son had an awesome birthday! A meal, a great gift...and and out of this world birthday card!!! Truly a stunning project, Chrissy, I know he loved it and that you made it for him makes it even more special.

What a work of art. This is so beautifully personalized and Iʻm sure your son loved it!

Jaydee said...

Chrissy, not sure which impresses me the most.... An antipodean cooking up a full Sunday roast with puddings named after my home county or this gorgeous work of art! All the effort you put into making this personalized card was absolutely worth it. I bet your son loved it! I know I do. So glad you shared this with us at the Paper Players this week, and thanks for taking me back to my childhood with the Yorkshire puddings!

Chrissy, this is an amazing card on so many levels: personalisation for your son, multiple pages and STAR WARS! Who doesn't love that, male or female? I'll bet he wishes his birthday was May 4, not 29! Thanks for sharing this beauty with us at The Paper Players. :-)

Chris said...

wow! Definitely more than a birthday card Chrissy, your son will treasure this for years to come, so much love and thought went into the design, when all the family have added their messages it will be even more special- and he must have been delighted with his wonderful gift.
