Rubbernecker | Mini Slimline Die-cut Birthday Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing mini-slimline, birthday card featuring Rubbernecker supplies. Crafting a die-cut, birthday cake card is much like baking a layered birthday cake – create a base, bake the layers, ice the layers, add the frosting, and light the candles!

Stamp Happy Birthday #1 sentiment on light-blue cardstock in Versafine Onyx ink. I previously used this set on a card in this post.
Die-cut the Birthday Cake from colored, white, and silver foil cardstock. Assemble the cake and candles for sizing purposes. Tape the cake layers from behind. I opted to change the colors of each layer while keeping the frosting the same color on all three layers.
Die-cut patterned paper frame using the two largest dies in the Mini Slimline Nested with Stitch set.
Using the frame for placement, determine where to cut the stamped panel. Trim accordingly. Add frame to stamped panel.
Finish assembly of the cake, adding the piped frosting pieces on the cake layers and the inner flames on the candles.
Attach cake to stamped panel with foam adhesive
Die-cut small circles with the Fishing Boat and Lifeguard Tower die sets from blue glitter cardstock and adhere for embellishment.

Spellbinders | Sentiments for Everyday Glimmer Plates

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card to introduce the just-released Sentiments for Everyday glimmer foil plates with dies, part of the Spring into Glimmer Collection at Spellbinders.

Create an A2-size card base and adhere patterned paper.
Die-cut Bouquet of Flowers from cardstock and assemble. Add Crystal Drops to the centers of the flowers; set aside to dry.
Glimmer-foil in gold the sentiment from the Sentiments for Everyday set on Snowdrift paper. This sentiment has a coordinating die, which I plan to use on another card. For this card design, I liked the look of the sentiment glimmer-foiled on the rectangle that was matting the focal item.

Valentine Featuring Spellbinders Embossing Folder

Hello! I am sharing another mini-slimline card featuring the Spellbinders February 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club. Check out my previous post showcasing this same design here. This card is Valentine-themed.

Color white cardstock with Distress Oxide inks.
Die-cut the inked panel to a mini-slimline size using the largest die in the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A set.
Dry-emboss the panel with the February 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club. Remove the top texture with a sanding block to reveal the pattern in white.
Using a die in the Fluted Classics Circles set, cut a circle from the panel slightly above the middle.

Create a card base sized 3.5 x 6.5 inches; create a mat for the dry-embossed panel from Onyx cardstock.
Die-cut custom the large sentiment with dies in the Simply Perfect Alphabet set from Onyx cardstock.
Glimmer-foil sentiment from the Mini Sincere Sentiments on Snowdrift cardstock in black. Trim and position behind the dry-embossed panel, giving room for the larger letters.
Glue Simply Perfect Alphabet letters above the glimmer-foiled sentiment.

Just Because – Ready for Spring

Hello! Today, I am sharing a whimsical, spring-themed, friendship card created with Spellbinders products. Even though Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow (and declared six more weeks of winter), I am crafting with spring colors.

Feb 2022 Spellbinders Large Die of the Month

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a friendship/encouragement card created with the Spellbinders February 2022 Large Die of the Month “Typing Class.” I have also used this month’s Embossing Folder Kit Club “Sketched Floral” for the card background. For a cheerful vibe, I selected bright colors.

I die-cut and assembled the typewriter.
I die-cut and assembled the kit’s flowers and foliage.
I die-cut the kit’s sentiment pieces and sized the note in the platen accordingly, which I cut in a paper trimmer.
I glimmer-foiled the Mini Sincere Sentiments in Matte Silver and cut it using a banner die in the same set.
I added the assembled typewriter with foam adhesive to the dry-embossed background, tucking the foliage behind the note.
