Hi lovelies, every year we have many opportunities to celebrate, one of these are birthdays. We crafters often have to face the problem that we don't have time to make birthday cards to our loved ones. So pick a free weekend in your calendar and prepare all your birthday your cards with me.
There was no doubt that I will make my multitasking project with the Celebration Bundle because there are lots of funny sentiments in it the and the cake stamp images are beautiful. I will show you how to make birthday cards simply, all at once.
1) First I prepared the card bases
a) I folded my scored Neenah solar white blank note cards.
b ) I cut 4"x5.25" pieces from the Spring Fling 6x6 inch paper pack, and I saved the leftovers for another project.
c) I run through my die-cut machine the 2nd largest die from the Large stitched rectangle stackables with Neenah, Solar White cardstock.
2) When it was done I started the stamping process to the die-cuts.
(TIP If you want to speed up your stamping process don't forget to use your stamping platform. I use my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform almost every day.)
d) First I stamped the sentiments from Celebration Bundle. For the stamping I used various colors from Premium Hybrid Ink Pads.
e) Next I stamped the chosen images from the Sweet Celebration stamp set (this stamp set is included to the Celebration Bundle). I wanted to add a softer look for my images so for the stamping I used the Leather Premium Hybrid Ink pad.
f) I also stamped the images to the sticky note or masking tape and fussy cut them and after masking I added soft ink blending with stencil blending brushes.
g) Next I added splatters with watercolor and when it dried I removed the mask.
3) The next step was the coloring, I used my alcohol markers then added highlights with Signo White Uniball pen.
h) before putting my card together I wanted to add one more cute element with Happy Summer Lawn Fawn stamp set, so I stamped the ants to the colored images with Black Hybrid Ink.
4) In the and I adhered everything together, and my card was ready.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and don't forget, you can mix these sentiments with any stamp set from your stash. Make your cards unique! I can't wait to see what you will create!
