Happy Birthday Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a simple birthday card.

You can personalize the card by using the person's initials instead of the H and B for happy birthday,

I die cut all the components and trimmed some yellow cardstock for a card front panel.

From the yellow cardstock, I die cut and H and B. I then adhered the yellow cardstock panel to the card base. Using some foam adhesive I replace the H and B back into the die-cut areas.

Next, I adhered the layers of the flowers together.

Then, I adhered the flowers, leaves, and sprig onto the card.

Next, I stamped the sentiment onto a white banner and adhered it to the card using some foam adhesive. I added a few gold sequins and some white gems to the center of the flowers for a nice finishing touch.

Now the card is complete!

Thank you with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with another using some of the amazing dies that are available at Dies R Us.

Let's get started.

First let gather our Supplies:

Now, die cut the leaves from both shades of green card stock. Die cut the two smaller flowers from the medium orange card stock and the large flower from both the dark orange card stock and the holographic paper.

Since the holographic paper is to thin I am backing it with the dark orange card stock. to give it more body. you can use the medium orange card stock for this but I like the finish look it gives with the matching card stock.

I add a bit of adhesive on the card stock flower then slowly place the holographic paper on top of it.

Next, adhere the kraft card stock layer onto the brown card stock card base. The start adhering the leaves and flowers onto the card front. I decided to do this on the bottom left hand side.

I start with the leaves. I adhere the dark green ones, then layer the medium green on top. Next, I adhere the medium orange flowers by the leaves just over lapping the leaves.

I place the larger leaves in the corner and add the holographic flower just above them. I add foam adhesive behind the large flower for some dimension.

Now, adhere the die cut sentiment "Thank you" to the card front. Next, it's time for finishing touches - Light Gold sequins and jewels

I layered the sequins and jewels for the center of the flowers. I first adhered the sequins in place, then put a bit more glue in the center of the sequin and placed the jewels.

Now, the card is complete - quick and simple. I like to die cut flowers and small sentiments like this from a variety of card stock and have them on hand for quick cards.
