Layered 60th birthday card

Hello and happy Saturday! Here is a slimline card I created for a 60th birthday.

I´ve used patterned paper from my older stash with some older white rub-ons (still work fine!) from my stash. I then added a yellow die cut patterned paper tag onto the base. After that I added two fabric flowers and a chipboard ephemera as a centerpiece. I decorated it with several paper flowers, some half pearl swirls and a chipboard birdie. The card sentiment is stamped with a happy birthday sentiment by Rubber Dance (this set) and tiny golden sticker numbers.

I love the flower patterned paper on the background and have been saving it in my stash for years now :). I found that this was the perfect space to use it. Pink and yellow also make for a great color combination for a summer birthday, in my opinion.

50th birthday card

Hello everyone! This time I´m sharing a birthday card I created for my work colleague. She turned 50 a while back and I needed a special card for her. It´s also bigger in size, than my usual cards (approximately A5).

I used Rubber Dance stamps on the background stamping with plenty of patterned paper strips in rainbow colors. On top of that I have a Tim Holtz paper doll, holding a lollipop and onto that I added the chipboard number “0”. Next to it the “5”.

So it gives the impression she is holding a 50 sign in her hand. In addition to that I added a somewhat snarky sentiment that says: “50 is no reason to get (or feel) old, all the best for your birthday”.

I also added Gloss Spray splatter in white and green. It´s a colorful and happy card and I find it very suitable for the recipient. I do hope she likes it!

Happy crafting,
