Creations by AR - SOSN - Birthday Sneakers

It's my turn to post for the Creations by AR  Something Old.....Something New over on Paper Crafts Planet.

Today - I'm using the Sneakies Template to create little birthday sneaker 'cards' for my grand nephew Landon, who will be 3 in Sept and his sister, my grand niece, Mila, who just turned one last week.  Their parents had a joint birthday party last week for the two of them.

I used the high top version of the template for Landon's sneaker - with a fun dinosaur paper from Basic Grey.  I stamped his name on a punched circle and attached it to the side. (like the circle patches on the side of the Converse Sneakers!)

 I laced it up with wrinkled seam tape.

 

 Since he is turning 3 -  I stamped a little rectangle and adhered it to the back of the sneaker.

 

 As part of his birthday present - I got Landon a deck of Dinosaur Cards at Target to go with his Dinosaur sneaker - he'll have fun looking at the pictures now and will be able to read all the info on the back in a few years!

 

 I used the low top version for little Mila's sneaker - using a heart paper from a Valentine pack by K and Co

 I stamped Mila's name on a punched heart for the side of her sneaker.

 

  I laced her's up with pink wrinkled seam tape.

 and added a 1 to the back -  her very first birthday!

Since Mila is just starting to walk - I thought she could use these colorful socks to go with her Birthday Sneaker.  The words on the feet of the socks are rubber so she won't slip when she's walking around in them.

 

All of Adela's templates come in 3 formats - PDF for printing and cutting out by hand (which I used for this project), SVG and DXF for cutting with a machine like the Silhouette.

I just love how these adorable sneakers came out - the low top measures 2" x 1 5/8" x4 7/8" and the high top is 2" x 2 3/8" x 4 7/8".  Aren't these just the cutest things??!  And they are really easy to put together!   

and here are some photos of Landon and Mila at their party.  Mila's opening my gift to her with her mum Katie - see the sneaker hanging on the bag?

 Landon's waiting patiently for someone to get his just opened truck out of the box it's tied into.

 A cousin made this lovely quilt for Mila and she immediately jumped on it and laid down - it was SO cute!

 And here's Landon at the end of the day -  eating one last chocolate chip cookie!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
