Make a Wish – Masculine Birthday Card

Happy Saturday Everyone! Priscilla here from the Kat Scrappiness Design Team. Today I am sharing a masculine birthday card, with almost a “baroque” vibe, perfect for a guy in your life. I love dry embossing with black cardstock and then sponging inks or wax pastes over the textured pattern for a “vintage” feel.

But first . . .

Click on the graphic above to go directly to the sale!

I used the Kat Scrappiness Birthday Essentials Die Set to make today’s card. This set includes 22 dies!

Card Details:

Created an A2 top-folding white card base.
Dry embossed with a floral pattern a black cardstock layer slightly smaller than the card base and sponged brass wax paste over it.
Dry embossed another black cardstock layer with the same embossing folder and die cut the 3 tier cake shape using the cake die from the Birthday Essentials Die Set.

Die cut the frosting layers from the Birthday Essentials Die Set using both white cardstock and black cardstock, rubbing the same brass wax paste over the black frosting layers, before adhering the white layers slightly lower below the black.
Die cut the candle and the flame from the Birthday Essentials Die Set, adding Wink of Stella shimmer to the flame, and then adhered to the front of the card.
Die cute the “Make a Wish” sentiment using silver cardstock, burnished with black ink, added shimmer, and then adhered to the top left corner of the card.

Make a Wish on Your Birthday

Hello and Happy Tuesday Crafty Friends! Donna W. here today showcasing a bright and cheerful Birthday card created with new products from the February 2022 Release.

Before we get to my card, I would like to remind everyone of the Ink Pads and Re-Inkers Sale currently going on at the Kat Scrappiness Shop. You can get 15% off the entire category by using the code: “INKPADS”

Earlier this month, Kat Scrappiness released the Birthday Essentials products, which consist of designer papers, dies and embellishments all guaranteed to make birthday card creating a Snap.

My A2 card today features die cuts from the Birthday Essentials Die Set, Make a Wish Sentiment Die with Shadow and DSP from the Birthday Essentials 6×8″ paper pack.

This card was created in less than 10 minutes and has been sent to a friend overseas, who is celebrating a Birthday the end of this month. The Birthday Essentials Die Set includes balloons, presents, a tiered birthday cake, candles, a party hat and more.

The Make a Wish Sentiment Die comes with a Shadow; I decided not to include the shadow on my card but I did cover the sentiment with Gold Stickles for that extra bit of sparkle.

I die cut the balloons and an angled panel from the DSP and backed the “highlight” area of the balloons with white glitter card. I added a strip of red glitter card to give the DSP a “finished” edge.

Lastly, I’ve added Majestic Blue Pearls from Kat Scrappiness for additional interest and shine.

Thanks for visiting today and until next time, Happy Crafting!

Birthday Shaker Card with Vellum

Hi! This is Nicki from the Design Team here today to make a fun shaker card using vellum. I created a video with all the details that you can find on the Kat Scrappiness YouTube Channel, so make sure to check it out.

This card uses the Stitched Balloon Cover Plate die. I love these extra balloons because it gives you lots of options with this set.

First, I used the cover plate on white paper. Next I laid down some color from my ink pads onto another piece of paper. After laying down the color of the rainbow, I added Versamark ink to the top of all the colors. Next, I used holographic embossing powder to create my own custom rainbow card stock.

After all the colors were heat embossed, I cut the balloon shapes out of all of them. Before placing the balloons on the cover plate, I colored the strings of the balloons with a black copic marker.

Next, I placed the balloons in reverse rainbow order using glue and foam tape. Now, we need to make the shaker portion of the card. I cut a piece of vellum and used double sided adhesive to adhere it to the back of the cover plate. Next, I added foam tape around the outside of the card to create the shaker window.

Then, it was time to place the shaker pieces in the center of the card and adhere the front to make the shaker window.

All that was left to do was to cut the sentiment shadow and words from the “Make a Wish” die.

What do you think of the vellum? I love how you can see hints of color behind it but the main rainbow really stands out. Let me know in the comments!

All the products used for the card will be listed below in the links, make sure to click through these if you are shopping today. They do NOT cost you anything and they help support my crafty goals. Thank you so much!

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!
