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!

Materials Used
Cheapo Dies - Font - Newsprint

Sue Wilson Designs - Finishing Touches - Faux Quilled Blooms

Sue Wilson Designs - Finishing Touches - Striped Nasturtiums

Lawn Fawn - Spring Sprig Dies

Lawn Fawn - Ahoy, Matey Stamps

Shamrock Shaker Card with Rinea and Creative Embellishments

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with a fun and easy Shamrock shaker card.

This month Rinea Design Team is collaborating with Creative Embellishments.
I know you will be inspired by all the wonderful projects the Design Team has created.  

If you haven't heard of Creative Embellishments let me tell you a bit about them.
They create laser-cut Chipboard, Wood Veneer, and Stencils. They also have their own brand of Stamps and Flair.

This the card I created using the combined products.
Materials Used:
Recollections Brand 110lb Cardstock: White (card base)
Recollections Brand 65lb Cardstock: Green
Darice Brand Twine: Green and White

Let's Get Started!

I gathered all the components to the card. 
 Along with my Xyron Creative Station Lite and

the sentiment, and the open shaker components through the Xyron Creative Station Lite
  

Then, I pressed the Rinea Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foil Paper onto the solid part of the 
Creative Embellishments: Shamrock Shaker Set which is the bottom of the shaker. I then trimmed the extra Rinea Emerald/Emerald Starstruck Foil Paper away leaving the base covered. I did the same thing with one of the open shamrock pieces creating the top of the shamrock.
 

Next, I pressed the Rinea Gold/Gold Starstruck Foil Paper onto the green cardstock which is 
cut to 4-1/4" x 5-1/2. Then, I adhered the shamrock base onto the card front panel. 
I slid the twin under the stem of the shamrock. Next, I stacked the open shamrock pieces onto 
 

I filled the Creative Embellishments: Shamrock Shaker Set with a mix of
Doodles Paper Playground Sparkle Blend: Gold Rush. Then, I adhered the acetate piece to the shaker. Followed by the top piece of the shamrock. I then tied a bow on the stem and adhered the sentiment in place. Adhered the card front panel to my card base and the card is complete.
