Marble Background Birthday Cupcake

This marble background was more of an olive green than the last one and I felt that gold accents would be the perfect additional. I used gold mirror cardstock to cut the sentiment and the cupcake from Simon says Stamp Birthday Circle.

I die cut some sticky back foal to but behind the sentiment, but you could see the white and it just didn’t look good, so I pulled out the YR27 Copic Marker and colored the foam. Now whatever peeks out has a pretty gold hue.

Marble Background Birthday Balloon Bouquet

This multi-colored green background to me seemed to lend itself to a masculine birthday card. I pulled out Simon Says Stamp Balloon Bouquet for the focal image. I wanted something that would contrast with the marble background so it wouldn’t get lost and decided to use my Copic Refills to color some glossy photo paper with the darkest shades of the green used in the background.

I die cut the balloon bouquet from the marble background and inlaid the darker green pieces. I always used a more ombre portion of the paper to die cut the sentiment. I added sticky back foam for added visual interest behind the sentiment and stamped a secondary sentiment underneath using Gina K. Designs Grass Ink.

I decided to use My Favorite Things Stitched Mod Rectangle for the cardbase, but I didn’t have the right color of green to match so I used the darkest green Copic Marker to color the edge and it worked out perfectly.

I decided to fussy cut the cardbase to match the shape of the mod rectangle and the card was done.

Beautiful Daisies Happy Birthday

I pulled out this die set from My Favorite Things called Plentiful Petals. The leaves are from Altenew’s Peony Dream 3D dies. My flower dies don’t cut well unless I use a metal shim, and because I used Bristol Smooth Cardstock they needed the extra pressure. I watercolor the flowers with Altenew’s 36 Pan Watercolor set. I rarely add splatters to my images, but I really like the way it turned out adding splatters of all the colors used to color the flowers, along with some FineTec gold watercolor.

To assemble I added foam tape between the flower layers, added gold mirror flower centers and added them to the top left of a cardbase. For added visual interest I had die cut and adhered Simon Says Stamp’s Triangle Pattern Background to the card front.

The sentiment was die cut from gold mirror cardstock. I used KB Riley’s Happy Birthday die, but I only wanted the word “Happy” so I fussy cut it away from the birthday. Added a secondary sentiment stamped on black cardstock and heat embossed gold.

Happy Birthday Bundles of Presents

I must have been in a blue, yellow, and green kick since I made a lot of cards with that color scheme. I liked this bundle of gifts. Colored them using Copic Markers, cut this using the Silhouetted, added some foam tape for dimension and pair it with KB Riley’s Happy Birthday sentiment Die. Quick and easy to create this masculine card.

Golden Balloon Shaker Birthday

I love the way gold mirror cardstock looks with this cranberry cardstock. I had a panel leftover from making Christmas cards and wanted to use it, rather than find a place to store it, so I paired it with My Favorite Things’ Balloon Shaker Window. Added some shiny gold sequins with a birthday die cut sentiment and you have a fairly quick and easy card.

Multi Colored Balloon Bouquet

I let the patterned paper I used for a background be the color inspiration for this card. I layered both the balloon bunch and the sentiment in different colors of cardstock and offset them just little so you could see all the colors. It isn’t my favorite card, but my husband really liked it, and since I made it for a masculine card I hope the recipient likes it as well.
