Quick & Easy Trio of Children’s Birthday Cards | Birthday Essentials Release

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the FUN trio of Kid’s Birthday cards I made using some of the new products from Kat Scrappiness and the February 2022 SheetLoad of Cards.

I used three (3) patterned papers from the Birthday Essentials Paper Pad for the background, frosted cake and banner accent.

The cake and banner were made by using the NEW Birthday Essentials Die Set and Layered Party Banner Coverplate.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

A Happy Birthday Card
Hello everyone!! It is Nora here on the blog with a card where I combined the Kat Scrappiness new Birthday Essentials 6 x 8 Paper Pack, the new Happy Birthday w/ Shadow Die and the Birthday Essentials Die Set to create a fun birthday card.

Card Directions:
1. Using the largest of the Kat Scrappiness Embossed Edge Rectangle Die, die cut a piece of white cardstock. Ink blend yellow ink on the background and adhere to a white, A2 card base.
2. Die cut the Kat Scrappiness Happy Birthday sentiment from a piece of blue paper contained in the Birthday Essentials 6×8 paper pack. Cut the sentiment apart and adhere to the top section of the card. Make sure you curve “birthday” to draw the eye in.
3. The present was created by using the Birthday Essentials Dies and more pieces from the Birthday Essentials 6×8 paper pack. Adhere the present and ribbon together and then glue to the card front.
4. My last step was to adhere a mix of Basil, Lemon Yellow, Marshmallow and Midnight Sky pearls randomly around the front of the card. I wanted it to look like confetti and tried to pull the colors I used from the paper on my card. This is my favorite part of the card!!
This card may look simple but it was a ton of fun to create. I hope this inspires you to create your own birthday card!!

Confetti Balloons Birthday Shaker Card

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Alicia a.k.a. Crafty Al here to share a look at the FUN confetti balloon shaker card I made using some of the new products from Kat Scrappiness.

I used balloons from the Birthday Essentials Dies to create the opening for my shaker windows in an embossed piece of cardstock. For the sentiment I used the Happy Birthday with Shadow dies and cut the words from gold foil cardstock and the shadow from vellum.

For my shaker bits I used these cute and tiny gold star sequins.

You can check out my video for the full process…

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Make A Wish Mini Slimline Card

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!
