Designer's Choice: Special Day Card with Tina

Hi crafty friends, Tina here and for this designer’s choice I created a special ‘easel’ birthday card mixing several sets.

Starting off with a white square card base and adding several layers using the fun Scalloped Square 1 Dies Small (in white card stock and vellum) and Stitched Square Dies (in teal glitter paper and white card stock). The smallest white square is also dry embossed with the Quilted Hearts Folder.  

I glued all the layers together and before adhering them to the card base, I scored the front of this base horizontally in half. That way, I can add the squares only to the bottom part of the base to create the ‘easel mechanism’.

On the inside of the base I adhered a ‘stopper’ consisting of a rectangle of white card stock on which I stamped the ‘Happy Birthday’ from Everyday Greetings with Versafine Onyx Black ink and a scalloped white banner strip made by using one of the Ribbon & Lace Borders. When you ‘fold’ the front of the card base, the stopper will make sure your easel card is standing up perfectly.

A special birthday deserves a wonderful and festive cake! I selected a two-tiered one decorated with beautiful flowers (Special Day) and colored the image with my Copics in teal, pink and yellow tones. The blue ’70 candles’ make this cake even more amazing! I love how you can provide that extra accent with the numbers.

The cake was mounted to the embossed panel with foam tape for dimension. As extra decoration, I added white leaves from the Winter Greenery Die set and a few Crystal Clear Jewels scattered around the focal point.

I hope you like this card design and give it a try! Thank you for visiting the blog and happy crafting!
