Best Birthday Ever
by Tricia Barber
Hello! Tricia here today to share with you a birthday card made with the Basic Birthday Candles die and the Balloon Celebrations stamp and die set. I had so much fun creating these candles for a sparkly birthday card. I started out die cutting the Basic Birthday Candle from pastel cardstock to match the paper pad called Birthday Fun. I flipped through the paper pack and gathered some inspiration from the sherbert colors in this paper pad. I ended up using a white with gold dots but I just loved the soft colors in this collection.
I added details to the candles with alcohol markers and a white gel pen. I used a black marker to darken the candle wick to mimic a burning candle. I die cut the candle flame using gold and gold glimmer cardstock. I adhere the candles directly to a card base that I covered with the Birthday Fun white and gold paper. I trimmed off the excess of the candles at the bottom of the cardstock. I added some clear glitter over several of the candles for a little more sparkle.
I stamped a sentiment from the Balloon Celebrations stamp and die set. I die cut this with a scalloped circle using the Scallop Pinpoint Rings die set. I layered the white circle with some foam adhesive. Such a fun and happy birthday card for my stash! I finished it off with another sentiment from the Balloon Celebrations set on the inside of the card. I hope you have a wonderful crafty day!
