Make a wish

Hello!

Today I am showing you a wonderful birthday card that is so pretty and of course, easy to do.




Nothing like a bit of glitter in the morning to cheer you up.
So to make this card you will need to:
  1. Have a white card base.
  2. Cut a panel of white card and a panel of gold glitter card that is slightly bigger than the white one. If you are like me and you don't like to waste glitter paper then cut the middle out and save for a future project. Don't cut too far though, you want to see only glitter around the white panel.
  3. On the white panel, emboss (or even stamp) an image that says make a wish.  I used an embossing folder, but there is nothing that says you can't stamp a similar image or even use a sticker or just write it on!  Then stamp along both vertical edges a star border in gold.  Again, if you don't have anything like it, you could draw them or stick on some of those little gold stars and draw little connecting lines between them.
  4. Adhere the glitter paper to the card with double sided tape.  Then carefully position the white panel over top also using double sided tape.  If you have cut out the middle of the glitter paper you should have little no to issue with the white panel adhering.  If you haven't, you may find the panel doesn't want to stick because glitter is a vain thing and always wants to be the center of attention.
  5. My final step was to carefully graze my ink pad over top of the embossed image to give it more definition and then I stuck a star over the 'i' because why not!
There you go, a simple wee card that doesn't take very long at all to make.  I made 4 of these in around an hour.  I used different coloured glitter paper and changed the colour of the ink for the stamps to match.

Here are the other cards:



Hope you enjoyed this post, till next time.
