Sneak Peek: Party Friends + Birthday Borders

Hello, Gemma here with a sneak peek to share with you all. Today I have two cards featuring the new Party Friends stamp set, along with the Birthday Borders stamp set. These sets work so well together.

For my first card, I began by heat embossing the candle border from the Birthday Borders stamp set repeatedly on a piece of patterned paper, using white embossing powder.

Next, I stamped and copic coloured the cute koala and birthday cake image from the Party Friends stamp set, using colours to echo the background paper. I then used the coordinating die to cut it out.

I cut a panel of white card, layering it on to a piece of yellow card to give a small border. I stamped a sentiment from the Party Friends stamp set. I layered the patterned paper and the card panels to my card base, then I adhered the koala and cake image using foam tape. I finished with some jewels from the Valentines jewel mix.

For my second card, I used another border from the Birthday Borders stamp set to create a clean and simple design.

I selectively stamped a section of the border on a white card panel. This is easy to do – just place some low tack purple tape over the part of the image you don’t want to stamp, ink the stamp, then remove the tape before stamping.

I used some copic markers to colour the images, leaving the ribbons white so they stand out against the presents.

I stamped a sentiment from the Party Friends stamp set below the presents.

Before adding the panel to me card base, I used my BG13 copic marker to add colour to the edges of my card base. I finished by adding some Pearl White jewels around the presents.
