Cardmaking - Birthday Flowers
This is a fairly simple birthday card I made, using a few different techniques. Materials you will need:
Scoring board and bone folder
Card stock in 2 coordinating colors
White card stock
Stamping ink in color of your choosing
Large background stamp
Happy Birthday stamp
Edge punch
Adhesive ribbon
Markers
Glue runner
Start by cutting and scoring your card stock to the desired card size, I chose 5 x 7 to fit in A7 sized envelopes. Then edge punch what will be the front of the card, I used a lace edge punch. I stamped my background image on a 4 x 6 piece of white card stock and then colored in the image with markers. I used a coordinating piece of adhesive ribbon along the left side, but washi tape will work as well. Then I cut a coordinating rectangle of card stock 1.5 x 3 and layered my "Happy Birthday", stamped on white card stock to it. I then used dimensional dots to give it some depth when attached to the front of the card. I also used patterned scissors to cut around the "Happy Birhday" stamp to give it a nicer edge. Try this out for any occasion and set of stamps you love, happy crafting!
