We have a regular family gathering for all the August-September-October birthdays, usually some time in October, and this year was no different.
I made a two cards for the Great-nephews, Lucas (10) and Archie (8) - the boys are growing up so fast!

| Card #1 |

| Card #2 |
Both backgrounds were handmade by ink-blending a rainbow of colours, then put through the Cuttlebug with a different embossing folder for each card. After embossing, I smudged some inks over the raised bits to make them stand out.
I then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, then cut it out using the matching dies. Sentiments were cut out multiple times, so that the sentiment could be layered together for added dimension.
The balloons & tags (Spellbinders) were die cut using my stash of 'snippets/offcuts' and I used some very old 'letter stickers' to add the names and the numbers.
Two cards came together fairly quickly and easily :)
Items Used:
Spellbinders Dies, Ranger Distress Inks & Altenew Inks
Cuttlebug machine, Provo Craft embossing folders (Number Collage & Happy Birthday)

Really effective colourful background, perfect for the age group, many thanks for sharing at Allsorts - you don't specify which is the entry (as per our rules) so will assume it's the ten year old as shown in the thumbnail.
