Springtime Impressions meets Perennial Birthday!

I made this for my Niece who normally I don't send cards to but, this year I just thought why not. I love making them and I hope she enjoyed receiving it yesterday. Happy Birthday for yesterday Gemma!!! Won't give your age away just yet.

Without realising it, I created this card following the lines of one I did a few weeks ago for my friends birthday last week,  and it's amazing how different this one looks compared it, it's three posts back and was posted on the 4th March.

What do you think of the difference?

To recreate this card follow the guide below:

(r) = retired, (cs) = card stock, (ss) = Stamp Set

Base card measures 14.5 x 21cm scored at 10.5cm

First layer CS measures 10 x 14cm and embossed using the Big Shot Embossing Mats and the Springtime Impressions thinlits. Adhere to the base card using liquid glue.

Stamp the birthday from the Perennial Birthday (ss) you need to put sellotape across the happy part of this stamp while inking up the stamp  and remove the sellotape before actually stamping.  Punch it out using the Classic Label punch.

Greeting x 2 measures 8.5 x 4cm each and needs to be backed with some Multipurpose Adhesive sheet.

Die cut the happy from the Merry Christmas thinlits once and at the same time die cut the small sprig of berries from the Frosted Bouquet framelits

Now die cut the second happy and at the same time die cut the fancier of the 2 circles from the Stitched Labels framelits, using Whisper White (cs).

Adhere this circle to the back of a Lacy Doily (r) using a dimensional pad.

For the happy birthday, remove the adhesive sheet backing from the colour want to have on the top and carefully lay it down forming a shadow on top of the one you want underneath and press down. Now remove the adhesive sheet from the underneath one and again adhere down on top of the Lacy Doily.

Place the Lacy Doily where you want it to go (but do not adhere it down) now place the sprig of berries where you want them to go and adhere them down using a very small amount of liquid glue.

Adhere the Lacy Doily using dimensional pads.

Use dimensional pads to adhere down the birthday greeting.

Create a bow using the black Satin Ribbon and adhere using a glue dot. To finish it off add some black Rhinestones (r).

Will be back again soon with more cards
