Simple Birthday Card

Hello, Gemma here today to share a clean and simple birthday card, featuring some older and newer products.

I love the look of pearl white on white, whether it be embossing powder or glacier paste. This is a fun way to add interest and texture to a background, whilst keeping the background subtle.

I used the new Birthday Words stencil with some Winter White Nuvo glacier paste on top of white card. I left this to dry whilst I worked on the rest of my card.

I stamped a cupcake from the Birthday Cupcakes stamp set, coloured with copic markers, and die cut with the coordinating die. I added some extra texture and sparkle with a glaze pen, Nuvo Crystal glaze and fine glitter.

Copic colours:
B91, 52, 34
RV00, 52, 55
B000, 00, 01
Y00, 11, 13, 17, 35

Once dry, I cut the stencilled panel down to 2.5” by 3.5” and adhered it to a mini slimline card. I’ll keep the rest of the panel for another project.

Above this, I adhered a panel of white card cut to 3.5” square. To hide the gap between the panels, I adhered two strips of card – pink and pearl white – cut with the Stitched Strips set.

For some interest behind the cupcake, I die cut frames using two coordinating dies from the Crafty Days stamp set. The bottom layer is pearl white card, then I cut a top layer frame from white sparkle card, with the centre cut out.

I adhered the base layer frame directly on the card, then the glitter frame on top with foam tape. Finally, I added the cupcake with foam tape to finish.

I hope this card inspired you. Thank you for stopping by!
