Birthday Wishes
by Lisa Elton
Have you seen our newest stencil? It’s call Fanciful Flower and is it ever cute! There are several layers included in the set that let you use just of few or all of them together. I chose to use them all for today’s card. I picked a pretty spring palette to work with.
After completing the stenciling, I die cut the center using the Double Scalloped Stitched Frames die leaving the outer scalloped edge in place. Don’t forget about that little leftover rectangle. I saved it for something cute!
After die cutting the Brilliant Birthday Cake using white cardstock, I ink blended my colors on using the same inks from my stenciled panel. There’s also a bit of Wink of Stella added here for pizazz!
A white scrap of cardstock was added to the back of my stenciled panel to give me a resting place for the birthday cake and a sentiment.
This was all added to a coordinating card base. A few Pastel Fairy Jewels were popped on to finish things off.
Remember that little rectangle I had left over? I made a gift tag with it! I die cut another scalloped rectangle using the same coordinating cardstock. The stenciled portion was tucked in with a white panel added to the reverse for our ‘to and from’ message. A couple of bejewled balloons were stamped, die cut and popped up with foam tape to add to the festiveness!
The card and tag are complete, now I just need a gift to go with them!

It is SO fanciful and cute, Lisa! I especially love all the ‘Easter Egg’ colors you’ve used for stenciling. That little rectangle makes a darling little gift tag, too!

It’s so sweet and pretty, and I love seeing how it developed each step along the way until it became the finished card! Can’t let those little pieces go to waste — a darling tag, too!
Lisa your fabulous card and coordinating tag are so wonderful. Great colours and fantastic dies!
Adorable, Lisa!
A card and a gift tag. A twofer is always a gift in itself, Lisa, and this one is especially pretty.
What a pretty card and tag, Lisa. Love the cheerful and fresh colors you used. They make me think of spring!
This is a wonderful card, Lisa. I love the spring color palette you used. The lavender base was the perfect choice. Love the cake and balloons and the tag you created from the die cuts.
Beautifully festive and so sweet! Great color combo!
