Blingin' Birthday

Hi there everyone!!!  I just wanted to share with you a new and simple card creation that is perfect for sending off to just about anyone of any age for their birthday.

  

I had come up with this creation when I needed a card quick to send off to my niece for her birthday (always so busy I almost forgot).  I had already had a general idea of what I wanted, but then I thought why not use a black backdrop? The one thing about a black background is that it truly makes the colors on the card POP!  Even more than that it makes the gold embossing (or silver) shine like bling.

I had been seeing some cards that use a black base and this is what gave me my inspiration.  Some of my inspirations come from Pintrest.  Other times I just stare at my supplies and see what pops.  Usually that then become a bit of a longer process though.  Any who...lets begin shall we?

So this is what you are going to need...

• 1 A2 Card base & envelope
• 1 Black card stock 4.25" x 5.5"
• Gold embossing powder
• Embossing ink
• Heat Gun
• HAPPY cut out 3 x's in multi colors
• White card stock .5" x 3"

• Printed card stock 1.5" x 3.5"
• Falling Background stamp
• "Birthday" sentiment
• Adhesive Foam cut to fit printed card stock
• Glue
• Scissors
• Enamel accents

Now that you have all your supplies you are ready to begin. Below is the instructional video showing how to put together your card. I find that I'm better with visual than just by instructions. Then again I don't like to miss a step either. :-P
