Special Card - Clare Turns 21

Clare Turns 21 

I had the pleasure this month to make some one special a 21st Birthday card to celebrate a milestone with style.  

As you are aware, with all boys, these opportunities arrive very rarely.  My project to do when I get back from my holiday in Canada is to make more beautiful Birthday, Wedding and Baby cards.

For this project to make the Balloon glow and stand out I used Cotton Candy ink on the stamp and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  Then for the numbers I embossed with Gold Embossing Powder on "Versamark" Clear Ink.

As you can see by this photo that this card is a "Step Card"  Thank you to Cheryl Wilks for her inspiration for this card. A Step Card is not hard, as long as you get the cutting and folding lines correct - which for me was a little challenging - but after a couple of tries got better at it.  I could not have done such a good job without my trusty Cutting board and Score Board. This card is using some of the old products I had in my paper and Stamp boxes.  The old products I used were B & T paper - Lollydoodle and July 2014 Stamp of the Month - "Circus Alphabet".  I have found that if you buy some of the Close to My Heart products now - even if you think you will never use them - a project comes along that you are really glad you had those products.



The NEW products are used are

Paper - Cotton Candy, Whisper and White Daisy
Inks - Cotton Candy and Black
Stamp - D1581 "Give a Lift" and B1419 "Joyful Birthday"
Embossing Powder - Clear and Gold
