Another birthday card

Everyone seems to have one month in the year when the majority of their friends and family celebrate their birthday. Well, my month is December. My good friend Allison celebrated her birthday just before Christmas and I decided to make her a trifold card. This card uses the same amount of cardstock as the standard-sized cards, the difference is that it has two score lines instead of just one.


To open, the ribbon is untied and a new design on the inside is revealed. I put the inside through my Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I then highlighted the image by using a dauber and some shimmer paint. I stamped the flower image on a separate piece of Pink Pirouette cardstock, cut around it, then sprayed it using a mixture of Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol.

Ingredients

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Early Espresso

Ink: Early Espresso

Stamps: Printed Petals, Style Beautiful, Vintage Vogue

Punches: Eyelet Border

Embossing Folder: Vintage Wallpaper

Shimmer Paint: Champagne Mist
Ribbon: Organza
Other: Basic Rhinestone Jewels

Happy Birthday Tania

I made this card for my close friend Tania, whose birthday was on Friday. I've used a set that I haven't really used much lately, even though it deserves to be used a lot more: Razzle Dazzle - it has some stunning floral stamps and is very versatile.

I've also used my Basic Pearl Jewels (see the close-ups below) to highlight some of the images.

These jewels are really easy to apply as they have their own adhesive on the back, so they just lift off the sheet and straight onto the card.

Ingredients

Stamp Sets: Razzle Dazzle, Style Beautiful;

Cardstock: Rose Red, Elegant Eggplant, Baja Breeze, Whisper White;

Ink: Rose Red;

Markers: Old Olive, Rose Red;

Punches: Eyelet Border, 1-3/4" x 7/8" Oval;

Accessories: Basic Pearls Jewels.
