Cakes and Candles

For some reason, I have a lot of birthdays to celebrate in June so I decided to make a bunch of fun birthday cards to add to my card stash for all my family and friends this month.

So I chose a simple colour palette of blue, purple, green and white to create my birthday cards.

Birthday Gifts

For my row of gifts, I create a reusable gift mask from the Happy Birthday stamp set and created a little line of wrapped gifts.  I coloured them with Copic markers and added some Stickles for a little touch of whimsy!

Frosted Birthday Cake

I first created the piece of purple paper with the multiple rows of the “Happy Birthday to you” message from the Lines in Life stamp set  in white embossing powder.  I then cut out the scalloped circle from the purple paper with my Spellbinder’s Nestability and stamped a little paper pieced cake from the Happy Birthday stamp set to add to the center.  The frosting on the cake is some Liquid Applique to create some additional dimension.

Birthday Bouquet

For this card, I stamped the flower from Happy Birthday stamp set multiple times all over the front of my white card.  I coloured in my flowers with my Copics and then put clear embossing powder and heat embossed them.  I then used my Copic air brush system and air brushed some soft purples and greens over the front and then spritzed on some Glimmer Mist for some fun speckles.

Large Candles

For this card I create a candle mask using the large candle from the Happy Birthday stamp set and created a row of large candles.   I coloured them using my Copic markers and then added some Stickles to the melted wax part of the candle for some glittery fun.  Since the birthday greeting from the Lines of Life stamp set is quite flexible, I bent it into a curved shape and stamped it above the candles.

I hope you enjoying peaking at my birthday card creations today.  I hope these cards inspire you to create some birthday cards of your own.

Happy celebrating!
