YNS Challenge #168: Birthday

/

Continuing on with this weeks birthday celebrations Your Next Stamp latest challenge is all about birthday. Birthday is always a fun theme. I don’t know about you but I can always do with another birthday card. In addition to all the birthday theme stuff this past week, my cards have been following a rainbow pattern. I think birthday and rainbow certainly go hand in hand.

Also make sure to stop by the YNS Challenge Post and check out the rest of the DT projects as well!

Get the Look:

  • PREP WORK:

    • Die cut the largest stitch rectangle frame die about 6 times. 

    • Cut a 4” x 5 1/4” piece of heat resistant acetate (same size as the large stitched rectangle die)

  • Using stamp positioner place balloon bouquet on heat resistant acetate. Make sure to use embossing powder before stamping. Mask a portion of strings where the sentiment will go. Stamp with black versa fine. Position and stamp sentiment with same ink. Heat emboss clear overtop.

  • Take a rainbow of alcohol markers and colour on the back of the embossed acetate.

  • Adhere a stitched rectangle die to the front of the acetate panel.

  • Create a rainbow background. This background happens to be a left over piece from a session playing around with alcohol inks a while back. Here is link to other card made from that session. Basically any rainbow type background would work. Pattern paper, blended distress inks, so many options.

  • Time to build shaker: Cut background to same size as the stitched rectangle frame - 4" x 5.25". Glue together 5 of the rectangle frames to the rainbow background. Fill the well with shaker bits. I used an assortment of clear and sparkly sequins and gems from my stash. Add glue, to the stacked frame and line up the balloon bouquet acetate frame on top. One complete shaker panel.

  • Lastly adhere shaker panel to an A2 card base.
