Colorful birthday card by Tatiana

Hello there and happy Friday!!!

Design Team member Tatiana is here! Thanks so much for joining me! I’m super excited to be featured on Crafty Meraki blog! Today I came up with a cute birthday slimline card, mixing some fun stamps, dies and stencil from Crafty Meraki and Newton's Nook Designs!

Working on this project, I stared backward, creating the inked background first. This is something I use to do often when I'm not sure about the color combo to choose or the intensity of colors to apply on the stamps. Having the background colors laid down helps me to balance better the whole card front.

Key Ingredients:

Step By Step Instructions:

Designer's Tip:

Put the embossing mix into an empty jar to prevent it from drying between two applications. This way you don't have to mix it twice.

  • Die cut from Neenah Solar White paper all the elements you need, using the coordinating Newton's 4th of July Die Set.
  • Stamp the outline illustrations from Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Use the negative parts of the dies as a guide for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.

Designer's Tip:

Mask the little flag before inking the stamp with a sticky tape if you want to change its design.

  • Color the stamps with COPIC MARKERS. I used on this card:
    • brown dog E0000-E30-E31-E33-E35
    • grey cat W00-W0-W1-W3-W5
    • red cat YR30-Y32-YR21-YR24-YR27
    • green YG0000-YG00-YG01-YG05-YG07
    • yellow Y00-Y11-Y13-Y15-Y21
    • violet V0000-V01-V12-V15-V17-V09
    • grey W00-W0-W1-W3-W5-W8
    • pink RV0000-RV00-RV10-RV02
  • Die cut on Neenah Solar White paper the big word birthday from Birthday Slimline Tag Die three times. Stack all three layers together.
  • Trim apart the word "HAPPY " from Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set with the sharp small scissors.
  • Heat emboss it in white onto black with VersaMark clear sticky ink.
  • Arrange all the elements on the card front and pop them on a foam tape for fun dimensional look.
  • Finish with a couple of highlights added with a white gel pen.

That's all for today!!! As always thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!!!
Hugs,
Tatiana
