Hello! Can you believe it?! Spellbinders has been creating and providing cutting edge papercrafting products for 20 years! To celebrate Spellbinders has released the Birthday Celebrations collection. This collection is jam packed full of fun birthday related products. I will be sharing several different cards today using multiple products from the Birthday Celebrations release. (Affiliate linked products listed at the end of this blog post. Using my links allows me to earn a small commission. Thank you for your support.)
This card uses the brand new So Many Candles Glimmer hot foil plate and the new Stylized Happy Birthday dies. I foiled the candles using rainbow foil making sure to position the foil so that the yellow would fall where the flames of the candles are. I just love how the foiling turned out. I kept things simple by just die cutting the happy birthday from black glossy cardstock and scrap cardstock that I stacked together. The shadow die was cut from vellum so you can still see the foiled candles. I did add a few Spellbinders color mix essentials gems for a bit of sparkle.
This next card uses the new Awesome Birthday stamp set. I just love those fun candles! Again, I kept things very simple. I stamped the candles in VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink and colored with Prisma color pencils in shades of blue. This was not my first attempt at coloring the candles. I think I tried four additional times to color the candles and each time it ended in disaster. Thankfully, on the 5th try things worked out! I then added the sentiment also stamped in Nocturne ink. For a bit of sparkly I stamped the scattered stars image from the set in VersaMark watermark ink, applied rainbow embossing powder (it is clear embossing powder with little sparkles in it) and then heat set. The sparkle in real life is so pretty.
My final card uses the super fun Topsy Turvy Cake dies and a sentiment from the Birthday Unboxing Glimmer foil plates. I used three different shades of teal cardstock (Spellbinders Waterfall, Teal Topaz and Lagoon) to cut the layers of my cake. There are dies that you can insert into each cake layer to cut out different elements. I used those dies to cut the elements from the same cardstocks, but then layered the elements on. I love how it turned out. I used previously released Glimmer of the month kit called Mini Nested Glimmer Dots and teal foil to foil the dotted rectangle on a panel of cardstock cut to fit my mini slimline card base. I also foiled the sentiment from Birthday Unboxing in teal and then die cut it with the matching die. I adhered my panel to the card base and then popped up the sentiment and cake. The finishing touch are the little decorative pieces on the top of the cake that were die cut from some glitter cardstock that has a teal tint to it.

ReplyDeleteFabulous bday cards, Rosemary! Especially love the slimline cake in the teal & white! 20 years is quite the birthday for Spellbinders! I was more into scrapbooking at that time but I know I have some old dies of theirs!!
ReplyDeleteWow--20 years of Spellbinders! My first dies were Spellbinders after I finally broke down & got a die cut machine. What changes there have been in die designs! Your cards are wonderful, Rosemary! Love how you used rainbow foil with the gold for the flames on the first card! Good for you keeping at it, as the 2nd card is really fun & festive! The 3rd card is my favorite with your beautiful whimsical cake!
