Homemade birthday card tutorial #1

Create a scene as well as unique sentiments by combining dies and stamps from different sets.

Supplies you'll need:

  • Red top-folding 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base
  • White Copic compatible card stock (I used X-Press It Blending Card)
  • Black Copic compatible ink (I used Black Licorice hybrid by My Favorite Things)
  • Light blue ink (I used Sno Cone dye by My Favorite Things)
  • Image and sentiment stamps (I used Chubby Chums and Bosom Buddy stamp sets by Paper Smooches)
  • Cloud stencil (I used Cloudy Day by My Favorite Things)
  • Balloon dies (I used Balloon Dies by Paper Smooches)
  • Copic markers (I used Y21, BG11, YR23, YR27 and R29)
  • Copic 0.5 black Multi-liner
  • Blending tool
  • Die-cutting machine
  • Red baker's twine
  • Foam squares and foam tape

Step 1:

Stamp sentiment onto lower portion of white card stock. Secure card stock to scrap paper using removable tape and layer stencil atop. Holding stencil firmly in place, blend light blue ink over cloud openings applying more ink at the top and less toward the sentiment.

Die-cut bird and balloon shapes from white card stock. Stamp bird and color all with markers.

Step 3:

Tie twine with bow to left side. Position bird onto twine (without adhering) to help determine placement of balloons. Using a straight edge and marker, draw balloon strings.

Step 4:

Adhere yellow balloon to card stock. Adhere red balloon using foam squares. Apply foam squares to back of bird and adhere over twine.

Step 5:

Using foam tape, adhere assembled panel to red card base.

Note: After assembling, I decided to add black dots to the yellow balloon.

Beginning in upper left corner, apply blue ink, blending lower edges. Beginning in upper right corner, begin blending yellow ink, overlapping lower blue inked area.

To create the multi-color sentiment, mask off each portion of the stamp and stamp one word at a time. The black dots within the top line were added with a marker once the stamped words were complete.

Note: The word "happy" was stamped first in Tropical Tea, then Orange Fizz and Grape Jelly.

Adhere sentiment strip across card front; adhere enamel dots.

  • White card stock cut to 3 5/8" x 4"
  • Scrap of cream card stock
  • Patterned paper (I used Polka Mon Amie by Lawn Fawn)

Stamp sentiment into lower right corner of white card stock panel.

Die-cut cupcake and flag pieces from cream card stock scrap and patterned papers. Stamp or draw smiley face onto cupcake top.

Apply a bit of adhesive behind area where cupcake is to be placed. Wind thread around your fingers several times, then carefully remove thread from fingers and secure ends to applied adhesive. Gently separate/arrange the thread loops.

Adhere flags and assemble cupcake using foam squares to adhere cupcake top. Adhere enamel dots.

Note: A QuickStik or other tacky-end tool is very helpful in picking up and placing tiny parts such as the cupcake sprinkles.

Cut dotted paper to fit card front and adhere. Using foam tape, adhere assembled white panel to dotted paper.
