75th Birthday Card

Here is is a card made for a milestone birthday (75).  It was a fairly simple card to make, using glitter and Shimmer Sheets.  Here is the card:

I used the following to make the card:

• Elizabeth Craft Designs - Shimmer Sheets - 
• Stazon Black Ink
• Cricut - Happy BIrthday Embossing Folder
• Glitter Ritz - Silver Glitter
• Cricut - Plantin Cartridge
• Sookwang Double Sided tape

To make the card, I embossed the Shimmer Sheet with the embossing folder.  The Stazon ink was then lightly rubbed over the embossed image.  Sookwang tape was then added to white card stock. This was then used when cutting the numbers out using the Cricut Plantin Cartridge.  The release sheet for the numbers were then removed, and the silver glitter added and burnished.  The numbers were then added to the embossed Shimmer sheet. Sookwang tape was added to the entire front of a card base.  Silver glitter was added to the edges only.  The embossed Shimmer Sheet was added to the card base to complete the card.

Birthday Card using Stand Up Helper from Elizabeth Craft Designst

Here is a birthday card I made using several products from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  The card is 4.25 x 5.5.

For this card I used:

• Elizabeth Craft Designs Stand Up Helper "Happy Birthday"
• Glitter Ritz Warm Highlight
• Copic Markers: YR15, Y13, G21, G46, YG07
• Spellbinders Oval Die
• Elizabeth Craft Designs Candle Peel-off Sticker in Black 2545
• Shimmer Sheets  
• Cuttlebug Happy Birthday Embossing Folder
• Sookwang Double sided tape

To make the card, I added the Sookwang tape to white card stock, exposed the adhesive and added the candle peel-off stickers.  Warm Highlight glitter was added and then the candles colored with Copic markers, and fussy cut out. Using another piece of white card stock, I added Sookwang tape, and die cut the oval and the Happy Birthday Stand Up helper.  After exposing the adhesive, Warm Highlight Glitter was added to both pieces.  The candles were added to the oval, and the Happy Birthday was added over the Happy Birthday cut into the card base.  A piece of Shimmer Sheets was embossed and sanded a bit.  The oval with the candles was added on top of the embossed Shimmer Sheets.  The card was then assembled,

To make this card, I put the Sookwang double sided tape on a piece of white card stock, and cut the background image (Marquee) with the Storybook Cricut Cartridge Storybook and 3.5 inches.  I then exposed the tape, and added the Easter Egg peel off sticker.  Glitter Ritz was added and the egg was then colored with Copic Markers. 

 

I then added Sookwang tape to two 1/2 X 4 inch strips of white paper, exposed the tape, added the Cool Highlight Glitter Ritz, and colored both strips with Y06 Copic Marker. 

 

A two inch piece of Shimmer Sheets was embossed with Textile Texture.

 

The Glittered strips, embossed Shimmer Sheets were added to the card.  Black outline stickers were added between each area, and then the main image was added over the top.
