Happy Birthday Shaker Card

Happy Birthday Shaker Card

DSC_2463w

I enjoy making (and shaking!) interactive shaker cards.  For this one, I glued a birthday greeting die cut and a stitched frame die cut to a piece of acetate and adhered this panel to two (layered) pieces of fun foam cut with the same frame die.  This panel was placed over loose sequins and adhered to the card front.  A pretty basic design, but fun to play with!

Pop-up Flower Pot Birthday Card

I used Karen Burniston’s “Flowerpot Pop-up” die set (#1010) to create this pot with flowers that pops up when the card is opened.  The die set comes with the dies to create the pop-up element, the pot, the flowers, the leaves, and a bee (which I did not use on this card).  These dies can be used to create either a flat flower pot design or the pop up design.  Theme, colors and size are up to you. (The bigger the card, the bigger/taller you can go with the bouquet.  My card is 5″ x 7″,  but an A2 size card will work if you are careful with how position your flowers and leaves.)

You can see Karen’s assembly tutorial HERE.  This card is not hard to make; there is just a lot of die cutting if you want a full pot – lol!

This card folds flat for mailing.

The water color patterned paper (#PPR3507) is by love nicole.  I also used Gina K Designs Grass Green, Warm Glow, Edible Eggplant, and Powder Blue card stock.

The Round Happy Birthday die used on the front is unbranded, and the stitched Nesting Square Parentheses inside can be found at Printable Heaven.  The sentiment is called “Special Day Wishes” (#573F) by DRS Designs and was stamped with GKD Edible Eggplant ink.

Bordering Blooms Birthday Wishes

Bordering Blooms Birthday Wishes

(inside: may your birthday be filled with love, laughter and everything that makes you happy)

I love the fine lines and whimsical style of the flowers and leaves on this stamp from the  “Bordering Blooms” set from Stampin’ Up (retired?).  This stamp is 5 1/2 inches long and fits across an A2 size card.

I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored it with Copic markers (BG75, BG72, R24, R22, and R21).  I used the BG75 marker to create the mat as well.

The greeting and inside sentiment are from the “Happy Birthday to You” set from Gina K Designs.  I used my score board to deboss the stripes on the background panel.

The greeting is from the “Banners” set from Joy! Crafts.  I used Gina K Designs Fresh Asparagus ink and Peach Bellini ink and card stock.  I stamped my images on water color paper for a bit of texture.

Here’s one in pink.

Copper Leaves

Copper Leaves

I love how copper and black look on kraft card stock.

To create my leaves, I used gel medium and copper embossing powder.  I applied the gel medium to my panel with a palette knife through a stencil, and while the gel medium was still wet, I sprinkled on the copper embossing powder.  After the gel medium had dried, I heat set the powder with a heat tool.  Love, love, love the results!!

The vine stencil (5×6) was from Stencil Revolution.  Copper embossing powder is from Hero Arts.  The stamp is from the “Frame and Flowers 2” set by Gina K Designs as is the lighter Kraft card stock.  The black and kraft card base is by Recollections.  I stamped the greeting with versafine onyx black ink.
