Happy Birthday Mug

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a fun birthday card using the latest stencils and dies from PPP. If you’re on Instagram, be sure to join us later this morning as we kick off a four day Instagram hop.

To start, I cut a 5” square in white cardstock and ink blended through the Streamers Stencils with Dried Marigold, Salvaged Patina, Spun Sugar, and  Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some pink and white acrylic paint for added interest. Next, I cut a sheet of vellum to 4” square and used it to soften the background. 

I then cut the Winter Mug in cardstock that I painted with a cream acrylic paint. I cut the center with the “it’s your day” die and glued a pink glitter cardstock behind the script. I glued the negative pieces. Next, I ink blended scraps of white cardstock and ink blended them with the same Distress Oxide inks I used for the background. I cut the dies from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies and foam mounted all the elements onto the card base. Lastly, I glued some Creamsicle pearls  here and there for added interest and glued the card panel onto a 5” square card base.

That completes my card. If you have the Winter Mug Dies, this new Birthday Mug Addition Dies would be a great addition to your collection. Even if you do not have the Winter Mug Dies, you can still use the Birthday Mug Addition dies on their own and make birthday cards with it. 

Thanks for stopping by the PPP Blog! Enjoy your day!
