Today I am presenting a birthday card for your viewing pleasure. Often at this time of year we are so wrapped up in Christmas that birthday's can be overshadowed. So today we celebrate those with a December birthday to let them know they are special to.
- Card base (white)
- Purple paper (one dotted, one glitter, one plain)
- Butterfly die
- Happy Birthday stamp
- Sliver embossing powder and embossing ink
- Sliver gel pen
To make this card:
- Cut the dotted paper so that it is 0.5 cm shorter on each side than your card base. Using the butterfly die, cut three butterflies out of the paper.
- Cut the glitter paper into three pieces that are big enough to cover the card base underneath each of the butterflies. Use a pencil to mark the edges of each butterflies on the card base and adhere the glitter paper so that all marks are covered. Adhere the dotted paper to the card base with dimensional foam.
- Stamp and emboss the Happy Birthday onto the plain purple paper. Cut and trim to make a banner shape, then adhere to the bottom section of the card with foam. Create a dotted line border with the gel pen.
There you go. This card is actually quite easy to make, the hardest part is lining up the glitter paper underneath so that none of the white shows through. It would be easier to just cut a piece of the glitter paper exactly the same size as the dotted paper, but I feel like its a bit of a waste when so much of it is covered up.
This card is easily adapted too, changing the colour, shape of the die, and the sentiment will produce a variety of cards for many occasions.
Til next week!
