Hi friends! Today I wanted to share the creation of a birthday card using tools and supplies from Simon Says Stamp, Spellbinders, Brass and Bliss (formerly Rubbernecker Stamps), and Penny Black. This project can also be found on my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@VeehattInspired .
The supplies used were:
Simon Says Stamp “It’s Your Birthday” die set
Penny Black “Ascending” die
Penny Black “Dignified” die
Simon Says Stamp “Kaleidoscope” embossing folder
Spellbinders “Precision Layer A2 A” die set
Brass & Bliss “Deckle Hills” die set
Simon Says Stamp White Glossy Cardstock
Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold Metallic Cardstock
Finetec Pearlescent Colours watercolor paint – 9034-Golden Rose
Studio Katia – Arctic Breeze Pearls
Glue and other adhesives from my stash
I started the project by cutting the 8-1/2” x 11” piece heavy weight white in half to create an A2 top folding card base.
I cut another piece of the white cardstock to be 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” using the largest die from Spellbinders’ “Precision Layer A2 A” die set and then utilized one of the dies from Brass & Bliss’ “Deckle Hills” edger die to cut the panel to cut it in half diagonally. I misted the piece of the panel I’m going to use for the card front with water and placed it in Simon Says Stamp’s “Kaleidoscope” embossing folder and ran it though my Anna Griffin Empress die cutting and embossing machine. I applied tape adhesive to the back of the embossed panel and attached it to my card base.
Using Simon Says Stamp’s “It’s Your Birthday” die, I cut it two times from white cardstock and a third time from Simon Says Stamp’s Rose Gold Metallic cardstock. I applied Distress Collage Medium to the backs and adhered those three sentiment pieces together and set them aside for the glue to dry.
I used Penny Black’s “Ascending” die and cut it once from Simon Says Stamp’s Glossy White cardstock and cut Penny Black’s “Dignified” die from Simon Says Stamp’s Rose Gold Metallic cardstock. Before placing these onto the card front, I lightly splattered Finetec Pearlescent Colours Watercolor Paint in “Golden Rose” onto the front of the card base and embossed panel. Once that dried, I placed a combination of glue and Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares to the back sides of the Penny Black foliage dies and adhered them down the card front starting in the upper right corner and letting them cascade toward the lower right of the card front.
Lastly, I glued the “It’s Your Birthday” sentiment onto the lower right corner of the card and adhered a scattering of Studio Katia “Arctic Breeze” white pearls around the foliage.
I hope you enjoyed the card and found inspiration for some of your own card making projects! Until next time… happy making!
