Birthday Cards- Stick It Down

 Hello! I have some catching up to do with my blog, so I will be sharing a few things over the next few days. First up is a pair of cards that I made using the current card sketch from Stick It Down:



For the backgrounds of my cards, I gathered some coordinating scraps and cut them into strips. I then attached those strips to a cardstock base and trimmed the excess. I punched the strip detail and attached that with foam tape. For the sentiment, I stamped and heat embossed it onto white cardstock and then fussy cut it, attaching that with foam adhesive as well. I punched the stars and then heat embossed them repeatedly with clear embossing powder. The strings are silver Nuvo dots. I considered using string, but decided that was too tedious. The card on the left is for my nephew who is turning 4 and the one on the right is for my niece turning 5, hence the number of stars.


Thanks for stopping by to check out my projects!

  1. These are both BEAUTIFUL! I love the "smile" sentiment on both (we could all use some of that) ;-) Your color choices are spot on, and I love that you used coordinating scraps as well. Your recipients will love their little works of art from you. :-) Thank you for joining us at Stick It Down--Sharon DT
