For the first time in a long time, my son voluntarily walked into my craft room and asked to make a card. It was for one of his best friends who also enjoys playing Minecraft. Damian knew exactly what he wanted to do and his exact words were, “You have a stencil that makes Minecraft blocks.” LOL You can find another sample of mine using this Cube Builder Stencil [also available at SBC | SSS] in a previous post here.
Damian used blender brushes with Ultramarine and Azurite inks on a silicone mat and full sheet of Neenah heavyweight cardstock so we could cut it down with the pattern centred.
Damian used the NameMC website to access images of the characters he and his friend use while playing Minecraft. He printed these images on Neenah heavyweight cardstock, then Damian used Prismacolor Pencils to add detail to the images before fussy cutting them.
We were trying to create a custom Minecraft sentiment and then I remembered the perfect sentiment from Studio Katia’s Birthday Greetings that works really well for this Minecraft-themed card. I heat embossed the sentiment on vellum with WOW Black Twinkle embossing powder, then die cut it along with a Neenah heavyweight backer using A2 Circle STAX dies.
Damian assembled the card with large glue dots for a slight bit of dimension, then added Studio Katia Ripe Persimmon Pearls to symbolize birthday cake potion à la Minecraft.
I think Damian’s friend will love his card. What do you think?
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Please tell Damien that his card is fantastic! His friend will love it. You are lucky to have such a talented son. I guess he takes after you.
