Today's post is all about the past. I have revisited the first card I ever posted on this blog, you can find the post here: http://confessionsofacardmaker.blogspot.co.nz/2013/06/a-hearty-happy-birthday.html
and if you can't be bothered, here's a picture:
Today's card has taken quite a different turn compared to the original namely it uses none of the same colours (except black) and instead of a heart cut out I used circles and inlaid them. I've also included a border stamp so it is also part of the mini series.
Can you tell how much my photography skills have improved?
Materials:
- Black, red, yellow, green, blue, purple and white card (Various brands, mostly scraps).
- Gold embossing powder (Ranger)
- Embossing ink (Versamark)
- Dotty border stamp (Papercraft) and 'Happy Birthday' stamp (Creativ)
- Nesting Circle dies (Couture Creations)
- Star punch
Directions:
- Create card base from the black card. Cut out the largest sized circle from the top section of the card. Use the same die to cut a circle from the red die, then the next sized down circle from yellow moving down a circle size for each colour. Beginning with the red circle and your second largest die, cut a circle from the middle of all but the smallest of your circles. This will enable your circles to 'nest' inside each other. Cut the white card again to make two panels for the inside of your card.
- Stamp and emboss the sentiment below the circle and the border stamp above the circle and below the sentiment. Emboss on scrap piece and punch star from it.
- Adhere top inside white panel with plenty of adhesive covering where circle window is. Inlay circles to cover up the white and adhere the star in the middle.
- Use the left over circle pieces to decorate second inside panel and adhere to the inside of the card.

That's it for today, this card sort of reminds me a bit of Captain America's Shield and I think it would be super easy to adapt it to the right colour scheme.
Til tomorrow,
