Birthdays!



We all need birthday cards, right?  Who doesn't?  But it seems like we never have any on hand and who wants to get all the stuff out to make just one?  Well, the above samples can be made with a number of colors with very little effort.  I had actually made 5 cards like this but have already mailed out 3 of them.  They are made using all 5 of the 2016-2018 In-Colors.  I will mention those again at the end when I post the list of supplies.

I used Dapper Denim Card Stock for the first (Emerald Envy Card Stock for the second) for the base, and layered Whisper White Card Stock on top of that.  I cut a piece of Basic Black just a bit smaller than the Whisper White, and using my Versamark ink pad and the star design and Happy Birthday from the Birthday Blast stampset, heat embossed with the gold embossing powder.  Using the star edgelit from the Star Blast Edgelit Dies, cut out shape in cardstock weight vellum.  Adhere over the embossed image with SNAIL adhesive.  Cover edge of vellum with your choice of In-Color Ruched Ribbon.

Here are the supplies to make this card:

Stamp Set:  Birthday Blast
Ink:  Versamark
Card Stock:  Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy (or Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum), Whisper White, Basic Black, Cardstock Vellum
Accessories:  Ruched Ribbon in Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy (or Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum), Gold Embossing Powder
Tools:  Star Blast Edgelit Dies, Heat Tool, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
