Glittery Birthday Card

Glittery Birthday Card

Hello everyone! I am so excited to have been invited to guest design this month. I absolutely love the Crafty Meraki products, and when they reached out to me, I was flattered and ecstatic šŸ˜Š

For my first post, I decided to create a birthday card using the beautiful and versatile Sweet Celebrations Para-Dies. If you know me, you know I enjoy working with dies more than anything; the possibilities are endless, and I love the dimension you can achieve with them. I also used additional products that Iā€™ll share as I explain my process.

Here is the card.



I started by die cutting the base of the cupcake from Bazzill pink cardstock that I had previously embossed with an old embossing folder from my stash. Any dotted embossing folder would work perfectly to achieve a similar look. Stars, hearts, or small geometric shapes would also add great texture! I then ink-blended the die cut with a darker shade of pink to make the dots stand out. Distress Oxide in Pink Raspberry matched my cardstock perfectly. I finished the base by adhering four more layers of the same die cut to the back. This not only gives a lot of dimension without using foam dots but it makes the finished image sturdy and completely flat.



Next the frosting. I knew I wanted this card to be super shiny, so I heat-embossed Neenah Solar White 110 lbs carstock with WOW Embossing Powder Glitter POWDERED SNOW before die-cutting the top layer. I wish you could see all the sparkle! The photo doesnā€™t do it justice. There are three layers of the frosting die cut that I arranged to fully cover the top of the cupcake.

After cutting the cookies and the fun lollipop from colored cardstock, I adhered them between the layers of the frosting as well as behind it for a more realistic look. I finished the cupcake with the pretty bow. Again, I used the same technique of gluing several layers of the same die cut to achieve dimension.



Once my cupcake was ready, I cut a 4inx5.25in panel from the Color Cascade Paper Pack. I love the variety of colors featured in this paper pack. Itā€™s perfect for soft, muted cards as well as bright, vibrant designs. I adhered the panel to an A2 white card base using double-sided tape.

To balance the thickness of the bottom portion of the cupcake, I used foam dots behind the frosting, the lollipop and the cookies.

For the sentiment, I didnā€™t have a Crafty Meraki birthday/celebration set I could use, so I had to work with what was available to me. I chose two words from the EAP Festive Flora Wreath and cut them using the coordinating dies. I think it worked out okay šŸ˜Š

I finished the card with glittery stars scattered all around the cupcake and a wash of sparkle all over with theĀ ZIG Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Marker Pen in clear. It adds so much shine to the card!



Thatā€™s it! I hope you like it and will check back in a week for my next post. Have a great weekend!

I made an initial investment of roughly $380,000 on a Coastal Trading Options. After several transactions, I chose to withdraw my money because according to the website I had made a lot of profits, however the withdrawal was unsuccessful. I made several attempts in contacting them but it all failed. I made every effort and filed a report to recover my money by contacting the police department in charge of investigating fraudulent situations, but nothing was successful. Since my attempt with the police failed, I tried other possible means to make sure I recovered my scammed bitcoin. I reached out to a hacker whose reviews I had read online; Recovery Nerds, I contacted him via his email on: mailus @ recoverynerds . com, Website: https: // recoverynerds . com/ Whatsapp: +15143122803 He came in handy and at the right time. He rescued me from these shady investment schemes with the help of their top-notch services. I got my funds back as well as my peace of mind.

Investing in cryptocurrency is a good idea. At the start of my cryptocurrency journey, I invested in a faux trading company who took over 90,000 Dogecoin and 2 BTC from me. It was a hell of a time for me, I was in urgent need for a recovery expert to get my funds and Century Hackers Recovery came to my rescue. He was useful from the point of contact to the end when he retrieved my funds from the bogus company and placed me on a genuine trading platform where I earned lot of profits. Iā€™ll urge you to use the services of Century Hackers if you are in a similar situation which I was at that time. Send a mail today Via century@cyberservices.com
