Hello everyone, Leanne West here with you! Can you believe it's almost summer? There are lots of summer birthdays in my family so I always like to restock my stash of birthday cards in June. I came up with a birthday card design using the fun images from Scrupmtious Cupcakes which I can duplicate easily. It's a mini slimline card which measures 6.25" long by 3.5" wide.
For this sample, I
have chosen pink as the primary color with yellow, chocolate brown, and red as
the accent colors. I plan on making many more but change the pink out for
other colors like aqua blue, lavender, or mint green. I figure I can use
the recipients favorite color. Each card will have a row of four
cupcakes, some cherries, and the Happy Birthday greeting across the length of
the card. I've used one of the Icing
Border dies to frame in this row. Even though the die
only cuts a 5.5" long border piece, I was able to glue two together
seamlessly to cover the full length of my mini slimline card.
To kick this card
design up a notch, I've highlighted the swirls of cupcake icing with some
Stickles Glitter Glue. Stickles is always such easy way to give anything
a touch of sparkle. I've added Glossy Accents over the cherries to make
them really shiny and fresh looking. And lastly I decided to add an
additional sentiment below the big Happy Birthday greeting. You would't
have to do this but I felt it balanced the design out nicely. This
sentiment comes from the Inside
Greetings Birthday stamp set.
