Beautiful Card using Happy Birthday To You - Video Tutorial


In today's Video I show you how I created these really pretty cards using the Happy Birthday To You stamp set.

This stamp set is one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration offerings this year. Watch out for my post on Friday which will explain all about this wonderful promotion starting on 3rd January!


I knew I would love this little stamp set as soon as I saw it in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. 

The background papers used for both cards come from the Best Dressed 6" paper stack which is another new product from the Spring/Summer catalogue - also starting on Friday 3rd January! These papers are so gorgeous! I'm not keen on the makeup or fashion related ones, but the reverse sides are beautiful!


I stamped the image onto our Vellum cardstock using Versamark ink and heat embossed it with White powder. I then coloured it on the reverse using the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers.

This first card was mainly in Lovely Lipstick. The sequins come from the Basic adhesive-backed sequins pack.


This is the card I created in the Video. I changed up the colours and used the Dark Highland Heather Blends marker for the flowers and Gorgeous Grape card for my card base and the centre mat.


The Gorgeous Grape Rhinestones come from the Noble Peacock Rhinestone pack.

Here is the Video ...


Measurements

Note: If you use A4 as your standard sheet of card – follow the metric measurements (cms).

Double Diamond Fold Card - using Very Versailles


Today I am sharing another Double Diamond Fold Card. If you watched the Video Tutorial for my previous one, you would have seen this already :o) You can find the Video and details for my other card using the Free As A Bird stamp set HERE.


The above photo shows you how the card looks standing. It's a beautiful Display card.

I used the Very Versailles stamp set to decorate the centre panel.


The papers used are from the Woven Threads Designer Series paper pack. The blue paper is the reverse of the Terracotta design. I love these papers mainly because they use all the latest In Colours :o)


On the back, there is a large panel where you can write your message.


I used the Stitched Shapes framelit dies to cut out the Whisper White mats and the Circle and Oval Layering framelit dies to create Pretty Peacock mats to go under them. Both of the Whisper White mats were embossed using the Subtle folder.


Of course, I had to create a coordinating Box to hold the card :o)
