Make a fun, playful card for someone’s Happy Birthday. All you need are stars dies, cardstock in white and mirror silver, and an onion bag to add texture to the white cardstock. I’m using Neenah Solar White cardstock in 110lb for the cardbase and 80lb for the front panel and Scrapbook.com “Playful” cardstock paper pad for the stars. The mirror silver cardstock is from Craft Perfect by Tonic Studios. Use the star dies to cut out stars from colored cardstock, then layer the dies to cut out star frames. Next, use the onion bag and a die cutting machine with the embossing pad and plate to emboss the texture onto a piece of white cardstock measuring 5″ x 7″.
Layout the stars on the front panel in a way that is pleasing to your eye. I chose to use 3 stars two large and one small, along with a frame for the 2 larger stars. I offset the frames from the stars. Adhere those to your card panel. Then cut out the word Happy Birthday from mirror silver cardstock using the Scrapbook.com word dies and adhere them to your card panel. Trim the panel 1/8″ on all sides.
Then,, use some holographic border stickers to put a silver holographic border all the way around the cardbase. Finally, adhere the card panel to the cardbase. Viola, you’re done!
