Happy Birthday Card

Hello and welcome!

Tatiana is here today! I’m super excited to be featured on SugarPea Designs blog!!! I’m super excited to be featured on SugarPea Designs blog!!! Today I came out with a simple and yet colorful birthday card featuring a couple of recently release stamps and dies! Working on this project, I started backwards, creating the card base and the vibrant inked background first. Then I added a big die cut sentiment in the center and only at this point continued with colorful candles. Having the background color laid down and the biggest element glued in place helped me to figure out better what additional colors to use, how many extra elements to add and how to arrange them.

Key Ingredients:

• Birthday Wishes Stamp Set
• Birthday Candles SugarCut
• Birthday Script SugarCut
• Stitched Rectangles SugarCut

Step By Step Instructions:

• Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
• Trim a piece of Bristol paper approximately the same size as a card front.
• Ink in with Blueprint Sketch Distress, Mermaid Lagoon Distress and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. Use the blending brushes for a smooth result.
• Flick some some tiny droplets of a clear shimmer spray to add more interest to the background.
• Frame the inked piece with Stitched Rectangles SugarCut.
• Die cut three times Birthday Script SugarCut from Neenah Solar White paper.
• Stack all three layers together with a liquid adhesive that dries clear and matte like Distress Collage Medium Matte. Use the negative part of the die to achieve a perfect alignment.
• Glue the Birthday Script SugarCut in the center of the inked rectangle.
• Die cut from Neenah Solar White paper a bunch of candles and flames, using Birthday Candles SugarCut.
• Stamp the candles and the flames from Birthday Wishes Stamp Set with dye inks, chose two (light and dark) shades for each color to create an ombré effect. Help yourself with the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
• Arrange and glue in place the candles, using a foam tape and a liquid adhesive.
• Cut off the excess with the sharp small scissors.
• Pop the background on a foam tape in the center of the card front.
• Finish with a coat of a clear glitter pen and some clear sparkling sequins.

That’s all for today! Hope this colorful birthday card will inspire you! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
Hugs,
Tatiana
