Geometric Happy Birthday Card with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun quick and easy geometric, rainbow birthday card.

I figured with some of us already back to school shopping and some of us still on summer break it would be a good idea to keep this weeks card simple.

Here's the card I created.

Let's get started

I start by gathering my supplies; the dies and scraps of cardstock in rainbow colors, white cardstock for the sentiment and a black cardstock card front panel.

Next, I die cut the squares from the rainbow cardstock. I only used the 3 smaller square dies. I also die cut the sentiment 3 times.

Then, I ran the squares and the sentiments (except the Red and Blue squares) through my Xyron 3" sticker maker. I then rub and removed the protective sheet from the Xyron adhesive sheet. 

Next, I placed my squares onto the black cardstock front panel. Keeping the squares to the left side of the front panel. I used some foam adhesive on the red and blue squares for some added dimension.

Then, I stacked the sentiments on top of one another to get some dimension. This was really easy because of the Xyron adhesive.

 

Next, I  added the sentiment to the card front panel. Then, I added some sequins for a finishing touch. I kept the sequins in rainbow colors.

 

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.
