I had so much fun playing with release that I have four cards to share with you today. So let's get started.
Happy Birthday! My first card features the amazing Floral Cake Pop Up Card Dies. What a fun surprise for the recipient to receive this 3-D pop-up card to celebrate their birthday.
The dies are super easy to use and assemble. I really wanted a white cardbase so I diecut the base layers out of white cardstock and used Salvaged Patina and Mowed Lawn to ink up the teal and green parts. I diecut the cake, frosting, flowers and flame out of colored cardstock.
I assembled and adhered all of the diecuts as seen in the pictures. I accented the flame and cake with Copic markers to create some dimension and highlighted with a white gel pen.
I love that this fun pop-up card design folds flat and fits in a standard A2 sized envelope for easy mailing.
Hip Hip Hooray! It's Your Birthday! For my second card, I created a sweet birthday card featuring these adorable cuties from the new Icing on the Cake set and the fun Birthday Wishes 6 x 6 Embossing Folder! I love how the embossing added just the right amount of interest without taking the attention away from the colored images.
I stamped the images from the Icing on the Cake Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Icing on the Cake Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Mouse: E51/53/33, RV00/02
Bunny: C00/0/1/3, RV00/30
Cake: E51/53/55, RV000/00/02, RV04
White: C00/1
Light Pink: RV000/00/02
Dark Pink: RV00/02/04
Flame: Y13, Y17/38
For the background, I placed a piece of light pink cardstock (3 7/8" x 5 1/8") into the Birthday Wishes 6 x 6 Embossing Folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. I adhered a piece of craft foam to the backside of the panel before adhering it to an A2 white cardbase.
For the sentiment, I stamped a couple of the sentiments from the new Time to Celebrate Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used a couple of the Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut them out.
I adhered the colored images and sentiments to the embossed panel using a combo of liquid adhesive and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
My third card is a simple Just Because card featuring this month's March Mouse matted with a patterned paper from the new It's Your Birthday Paper Pack 8.5 x 5.5.
This March Mouse Stamps set is free with a $50+ purchase until Friday, March 28. The March Mouse Stamps and Dies sets are free with a $75+ purchase also only until Friday March 28.
I stamped the images from the March Mouse Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating March Mouse Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Mouse: E51/53/33, R00/30
Butterflies: RV00/02/04
Flowers: RV00/02, Y13, YG01/03/17
For the background, I trimmed a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with the third largest die from the Stitched Rectangle Set 2 Dies. I masked off the top 2/3 of the panel and lightly ink blended the grass with some Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide. I added some dots with a white gel pen.
I stamped one of the sentiments from the same stamp set onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I adhered a piece of craft foam to the backside of the panel before adhering it to a piece of patterned paper (4" x 5.25") from the It's Your Birthday Papers Pack 8.5 x 5.5, which was then adhered to an A2 white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
I adhered all of the colored images and finished the card by adhering a few Glass Slipper Confetti Sequin for a bit of sparkle.
And for my last card, I created this little fun scene with the new Party Penguin set and framed it with the new Loopy Frames Dies.
I stamped the images from the Party Penguin Stamp set onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Party Penguin Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and accented with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Penguins: T3/5/7, W00/0/1, RV00, Y38 YR04
White: C00/1
Pink: RV00/02/04
Teal:G000 BG34
For the background, I diecut a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with the larger solid panel die and the larger loopy frame die from the new Loopy Frames Dies. I lightly ink blended the panel with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink. I added some dots with a Copic marker and a white gel pen.
I stamped one of the sentiments from the same stamp set onto the panel with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I adhered the loopy frame to the white panel before adhering the panel to a piece of teal cardstock and an A2 white cardbase (4.25" x 5.5"). I adhered the colored images with a combo of liquid adhesive and foam tape for dimension and interest.
