Hello, friends! I’m feeling inspired by the products from Simon’s latest Make Magic release. My today’s project is a Birthday card – one can never have enough of those on hand!

CARD DETAILS

I started working on my project by stamping the birthday cake, candles, and flowers from the Do What It Cakes stamp set and coloring with Copic markers. I debated doing some fancy coloring for the cake but ended up coloring it solid yellow and adding a white pen highlight.

I used a Magical To Me stamp set and coordinating dies to create a sentiment. The “magical” was also embossed in clear embossing powder to add a glossy finish. The background of this card was stamped with a Throwing Shapes stamp – I used Versamark ink for a tone-on-tone look.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

Stamp cake, candles, and flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Simon’s 120lb cardstock.
Color using Copic markers:
- Y17; Y08; Y11;
- YG67, YG17, YG03;
- C3, C1;
- RV09, RV10, RV00;
Add white pen detail to images, cut out with coordinating dies.
Stamp background on Spellbinders Alabaster cardstock with Throwing Shapes stamp in embossing ink for a tone-on-tone look. Adhere to the A2 white top folding card base.
Foam mount cake, flowers, and candles on top.
Stamp sentiment using Magical to Me stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Cut out using a coordinating die (cut 4 additional blank layers, adhere together to add dimension to the “magical” die-cut). Heat emboss in clear embossing powder. Foam mount onto the card.
Embellish with white pearls and gems.
