I really liked this week's Make it Monday #34 technique that showed us how to make homemade thick chipboard accents. It is so easy. Basically, you just die cut your cardboard (I used coasters) 6 or so times, then glue all the layers together. I used it again to make another birthday card for my daughter, who's birthday is next weekend.
She loves cupcakes, and is turning 14. I think you can see where this is going.....
I went back to Kim's blog to case the same card I cased here. I was inspired to make the numbers out of chipboard by this card by Euna.
You can see how thick those numbers are.
A little
peek at the inside of the card, where Rachel will find another
cupcake. I just love this sentiment from SU Create a Cupcake--it pretty
much sums up Rachel's philosophy on life.
Supplies Used:
Stamps: PTI Big Birthday Wishes, SU Create a Cupcake
Paper: SU Real Red, PTI White, MME Life of the Party Other: PTI: Numbers Die, Edgers #4 Die, SU Create a Cupcake Punch, Nestie circle
Thanks for Visiting
Simply Adorable. I love the PP you used. The chipboard cration came out nicely. I see you got the new edger die. I think I may have to put this in my cart. Everytime I see it on a card, I fall in love with it again 7 again.
ReplyDeleteLove the way you did the inside of the card. Cute sentiment too.
