Happy Friday Everyone! Priscilla here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team. Today I am sharing a birthday card with a hint of Valentine’s Day. Blue and red lips and a stitched heart background create a bold backdrop for a “Birthday Kisses” sentiment.
- Create A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ (4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 5 1/2″).
- Cut White Mat: 3 5/8″ x 4 7/8″
- Take a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel and cut it out with the Stitched Hearts Cover Plate. Next you will cut down the panel using the Never Ending Rectangles die set to create a panel measuring 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″.
- Cut out 3 hearts using the second largest die from the Nested Heart die set (2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″). I used Gina K Red Hot, Dusty Rose and Innocent Pink for my colored card stock. For a little added texture I ink blended the edges of the hearts with the coordinating ink colors.
- Cut the “Love” from the I Love You Shadow die set with red glittler card stock.
- Cut a Vellum belly band to wrap around card behind sentiment measuring 5″ x 1 1/4″.
- For embellishment I cut out a few tiny hearts from the Heart Dounut Builder die set to sprinkle on the right side of my card.
- Assemble Card. To add a little dimension, I used foam tape to pop up the card panel to the card base along with the three hearts.
- Using the Slimline Film Strip Border Dies, I cut out the film strip with some 110 Neenah cardstock. Using Bearly Art glue, I glued the film strip onto a white slimline card base.
- I then used the negatives from the insides of the film strip to measure the three squares and cut out the balloon paper from the Birthday Essentials paper pack. Using foam tape, I popped the squares onto the card base.
- I then took the balloons, candles, striped hat and ribbon and bow from the Birthday Essential dies and cut them out with the polka dot and solids paper from the Birthday Essentials paper pack. I then glued them onto the card panel with Bearly Art glue.
- I then cut out the Happy Birthday sentiment using the Happy Birthday Sentiment die w/ Shadow using the red and yellow solid paper from the Birthday Essentials paper pack and glued them together. I then popped it onto the card panel with some foam tape.
- I then added some Bumble Bee Pearl Mix and Spring Leaves Pearl Mix embellishments to complete the look.
Hello Friends Waleska here, with my first post for the month of February… Are you making Love cards? I am! but today I want to share with you not a love card, but a Baby Congrats shaker card with our newly released Layered Balloon Cover plate Die, this die is meant to be for birthday cards but with different colors you can make lots of different types of cards too. I hope you like it.

CARD DETAILS:
This die is super easy to use. First I cut the Layered balloon cover plate with white cardstock, I then cut 6 balloons form white cardstock too and I started inking them with oxide ink pastel colors. The colors I used: Spun Sugar, Cracked Pistachio, Shaded Lilac. I used 3D foam tape to add dimention to the balloons and I adhered them one by one into the balloon cover plate.

After this I used acetate to create the shaker card. I put foam tape around the frame of this fun die and I added Easter Egg Parade and Sweet Shoppe Sprinkles inside. I inked a white panel for the back of the shaker with the same colors of ink I used in the balloons and I also added some Sparkle watercolor splashes.

I finally added the Congrats word die and I added this shaker panel to a card base. I just looove this die is so versatile and easy to use! so many different ideas for one die! I hope you have a great day. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Sheri here today with a CAS (clean and simple) Valentine card idea!
I love the look of Clean & Simple cards but sometimes struggle with leaving all the white space.
For today’s card I used the white space to show off the texture of KS NEW Stitched Hearts Cover Plate and just added a trio of hearts and a sentiment! Do you like to make CAS cards?

Here’s a list of the supplies I used from the store.

Happy Monday. Did everyone take a look at the new Birthday Essentials release from this weekend? There are so many great new products in the shop.

My card today features several dies from the Birthday Essentials die set – the cake, dripping icing, and bow. I die cut my shapes from various colors of card stock and adhered them together. I die cut a panel of white card stock and a piece of the turquoise Spectrum of Love pattern paper with one of the Stitched Fancy Scalloped rectangle dies. I adhered the turquoise pattern paper to the lower half of the panel and added a strip of pink patterned paper. I very lightly ink blended on the center of the panel with light pink ink to get a glowing effect behind the cake. I heat embossed my sentiment from the Everyday Brushstrokes stamp set to the top of the panel. I added the cake with dimensional adhesive to the panel and adhered the panel to a light gray card base with dimensional adhesive. I added fuchsia berry rhinestones on the cake to finish off the card.
I love that this die set can be used for much more than birthdays. Thanks for stopping by.

Hi everyone, it’s Tina here. Birthday Essentials was released yesterday and today’s card is featuring it. Below I will show you how to create a Bokeh Background using Balloons instead of circles and the steps to make your own card.

Step 1 – Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)
Step 2 – Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/2” x 6”. Apply Inks of your choice in circles. I used Distress Oxide Inks using a Domed Foam Applicator is colors Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, Dusty Concord, Wilted Violet and Villainous Potion. Diecut Birthday Essentials (both Balloons) to use as a stencil using the negative space. Place it on top of the inked background and apply White Pigment Ink using a Foam Applicator. Do this to the entire background. Tip: Add Ink to Acrylic Block and dip the Domed Foam Applicator to the ink on the Acrylic Block. This will prevent your ink pad from being contaminated with other ink colors.
Diecut Mini Slimline Double Stitched to the background created and adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Step 3 – Diecut Birthday Essentials in Cream Cardstock for the cake base, Dark Pink Cardstock for the icing, Black Cardstock to the cake holder and Dark Pink Cardstock to the candle and Orange Cardstock to the flame. Apply Distress Oxide Vintage Photo to the case base edges. Trim a bit off the cake case and adhere cake base and cake holder to the card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue. Adhere the icing and apply Glossy Accents. While wet sprinkle glitter and let dry. Use a brush to remove the excess glitter. Add Black Cardstock to the backside of the candle and add the flame and adhere to card front.
Step 4 – Diecut Make A Wish w/Shadow (words only) using Black Cardstock and adhere to card front using Bearly Art Precision Glue.
Step 5 – For added interest and shine randomly adhere Raspberry Delight Pearl Mix using a Pick Up Tool and Bearly Art Precision Glue.



This card can be used for several occasions by changing the colors and/or sentiment. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
