Happy Birthday Card

 


Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my Happy Birthday Card. I combined a variety of dies, stamps and Modern Gilding Powders, which were all perfect for creating this card. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Happy Birthday Card at home.

To start, you need to cut a piece of dictionary paper that measures 3 3/4" x 5". Cut a piece of typography patterned paper that measures 3 1/2" x 4 3/4". Ink the edges of both papers using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Cut a piece of kraft cardstock that measures 3 1/4" x 4 1/2". Apply Emboss It Ink to the Grid Background and stamp onto the kraft cardstock piece. Reapply ink to the stamp and stamp on the remaining portion of the kraft cardstock piece. Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped image. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Ink the edges of the kraft cardstock piece using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut a 1 1/2" Diagonal Stitched Fishtail out of a piece of pink patterned paper. Cut the fishtail down to 4 1/4". Ink the edges of the kraft cardstock piece using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Apply Emboss It Ink to the Twiggy Heart from the Twiggy Heart Wreath & Sentiment stamp and stamp onto a piece of kraft cardstock.  Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped image. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. From the same stamp set, you'll need the Happy Birthday sentiment. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Happy Birthday sentiment and stamp onto a piece of kraft cardstock.  Sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped image. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Fussy cut around the heart and sentiment. Ink the edges of both images using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Christmas Accents die, die cut the small flower five times out of light pink paper. Ink the edges of all five flowers using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Christmas Accents die, die cut the flower centres five times out of white cardstock. 


Adhere the 3 1/2" patterned paper piece to the 3 3/4" patterned paper piece.


Foam square the grid background piece to the 3 1/2" patterned paper piece. Adhere the fishtail 7/8" from the right and 1/4" from the bottom of the grid background.


Tie a piece of white ribbon around the card front as desired.


Foam square the heart 7/8" from the top and 1 1/8" from the bottom of the grid background. Adhere the Happy Birthday sentiment to the middle of the heart as desired.


Adhere the two centres to each of the flowers. Shape the flowers as desired.


Adhere two flowers to the top left corner of the heart. Adhere the three flowers to the bottom right side of the heart.


To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 3 3/4" x 10", score at 5". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.
