Many thanks for all the birthday wishes for Mr Heart yesterday. He had a great birthday (and doesn't look at day older)!!
We went out for an Indian meal with our youngest Son and had a great evening.
I have spent the whole day on admin work today so will share the cards Mr Heart received from our two Sons.
I made the first one and our eldest Son who lives in London made the second .. ..
Here is mine:

This used:
Image and sentiment: Bugaboo Stamps "Soccer Nut" (50% off everything there at the moment!!)
Backing Papers: Some out of the snippet drawers. I think the birthday paper is Cuddly Buddly
Birthday Sentiment: Digistamp Boutique "Simple Birthday Greetings - Male"
Sizzix Dies: "654995" Stars #2 and "654468" Grass
ProMarkers
and now here is the one designed and made by my guest designer .. .. .. our eldest Son .. .. Paul
For anyone who hasn't seen this style of card before he makes them using wax and an iron (about the size of a travel iron).
The technique is called Encaustic Art and if you fancy watching a You Tube video on how it is done you can find one here. Lots of other lessons that follow on if you get hooked on watching like I do LOL!!!
Have a brilliant rest of Wednesday everyone.
Don't forget it is the last posting day for those first class cards tomorrow!!!
Catch you soon
Love

Hi Jules.
Love your card - the little soccer nut image is so cute.
Your son's card is gorgeous. I have tried encaustic art several times but really am not very good - my brother is much better at it so maybe it's a male thing - LOL!!

That soccer nut is just fab! What a great idea...The little nut guy is adorable!
Wow, your son is sure talented...I have never seen this art before and it is lovely. I am going to watch the video as it is very intriguing.
What absolutely marvellous cards.
Two fantastic cards there Jules. I love the soccer nut and Paul's encaustic card is stunning. Ha, I have a little craft iron so that's a starting point :)
Love, Di xx

YOur card really bought a smile to face this morning...brilliant.
Your sons card is gorgeous..
Anne
Wow how talented is your son Jules? Both delightful cards. Merry Christmas to you & your family x
I love the card you made Jules, but I have to say the one your son made is rather stunning - you have competition in the family!
I've seen Encaustic Art videos and it looks so clever, they make it look easy but I'm sure it isn't.
Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Hi Jules
Glad to hear Mr Heart enjoyed his birthday and it sounds like you all had a great celebration! Loving your soccer nut card with that cheeky looking peanut and Paul's amazing encaustic art card is fab too.
Have a wonderful Christmas! Vicky x
wow talent runs in the family 2 fabulous cards. Glad Mr Heart had a good day and you all enjoyed a yummy meal. janex
Two really lovely cards Jules, the peanut on the first one is unusual, the colours you have used are really nice for male cards. They do say sons take after their mothers - his card is very good and I like the colours he has chosen as well. Pauline xx
Such gorgeous cards Jules.
Sue x
Your son has your creative genes! What a wonderful technique! Love the soccer card too!
OMG. What a talented son you have. I'm going to an encaustic art day in January for my first play with the medium. Please tell Paul from me how fabulous this scene is.
