Rosy Birthday Wish

Posted on May 3, 2025 9:53 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have a simple birthday card with a big punch of color. The woodplank background is colorblended for that rosy, summery look. The layout is simple but eye-catching and so easy to customize by using different colors or a different greeting.

A big congrats to beljed, the newest Featured Stamper FS952! She is a fabulous scrapbooker and her gallery is full of color and inspiration. I chose THIS page to case. I loved the gradient woodgrain so I kept that, but I used a stamped & die cut floral instead of paper flowers & made mine a birthday card.

To make my card, I die cut the wood plank cover then ran it thru the embossing to make a deeper impression. Using all of the reddish pinks, I color blended it, going from light to dark. I added a little yellow on top to give it that rosy glow & a little of the fuchsia on the bottom to deepen the red. The flowers were colored & die cut & popped up. I added more on the sides to even out were they would be placed on top of the frame. The frame is also slight elevated, as is the the greeting. It’s easy to cut card board for these using the same dies used to cut the items out. I just used a second piece & removed the parts that would be on top of the frame. That way there isn’t a folding or bending effect where they go across the frame.

Here are the Copics I used. I will mention, when coloring images, I stamp them first w/ Memento (since it’s Copic friendly). After coloring, I usually stamp over the image again using the Versaclair as it’s a crisper, darker black, but it’s not Copic friendly, so I save it for last. This is where the Misti really is essential, for me.

Fancy Flower Oval

Today, I have a very sweet, feminie card, all pretty in pink. I kept the color palette simple with only a few accents in black & green. This new basketweave cover die is perfect to let a little of a second color shine through and add a little interest to the background.

A big congrats to Jayne, the newest Featured Stamper FS951! She has a beautiful gallery & I didn’t go far to find THIS card to case. I kept the general layout w/ flowers surrounding a greeting, but I used different dies, colors & changed the layered circle to a layered long oval & used a background die.

To make my card, I die cut the basket weave cover die in white & backed it w/ a lt pink panel. All of the flowers were die cut out of white then I used a blending brush & 2 shades of pink ink on them, going from the centers outward. The two shades of pink were blended on top of each other since neither one alone really went w/ the pink background, but together they complemented it well. The leaves were cut out of a spring green & also blended w/ a little green ink. Two sizes of the swanky ovals were cut & the top white one was popped up a couple of layers. Then flowers were shaped before being put together & attached to the card. For the greeting, I die cut 2 black shapes of the words & offset them, above & below to shadow the birthday wish words.

Bright Floral

This new flower cover die is so beautiful! I couldn’t wait to use it. It’s not at all hard, it just takes some color blending & paper piecing. And I do have a hint for making that a little easier. It’s also great for a lot of different occasions. Birthday, for a friend, Mother’s Day, Congrats, Graduation..just change the greeting and/or the colors to suit your needs.

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1012 we are visiting Street Angles & their Pinterest Boards. THIS dress was my inspiration. I liked the bright reddish/pink flowers & green/teal leaves.

To make my card, I die cut the floral cover once out of heavy white card & once out of cardboard & glued the two frames together. Here’s my tip for making the coloring & paper piecing. I took another piece of heavy white card, placed the cover die on top then embossed it only, but did not cut it. This embossed version is easy to see the pieces I want to color. I used the detail set of blending brushes & several reds, pink, greens & teals ink. I should have taken a pic when I did this, but I forgot. When finished w/ the color blending, I put the die back on top & cut it, but didn’t take it all apart. Then I picked the individual pieces from the colored version & placed them inside the white frame. Here’s a picture of the two when I finished the piecing. I’ll save the colored frame for another card.

Then I picked out a greeting & popped it up just a bit. The pieced cover was attached to a teal background.
