Hello, fellow crafting enthusiasts! Today, Rick here at The Rabbit Hole Designs blog, and I'm thrilled to guide you through a delightful crafting project. We'll be diving into a vibrant birthday card featuring The Rabbit Hole Designs' Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set, Sentimentally Speaking Dies, and Candy Twist 6 x 6 Stencil. This project is ideal for those looking to create a colorful and elegant card that's perfect for any special occasion.
Step-by-Step Guide
Creating the Background
To start, place the Candy Twist 6 x 6 Stencil on White 80 lbs Cardstock (from my stash). Use Mini Dye Based Ink Cubes (from your stash) to add vibrant colors to each section of the stencil using Bitty Bunny Blending Brushes. I find blending these colors reminiscent of painting as a child—each stroke adding its own excitement to the canvas!
Adding Details
Once satisfied with the blending, use a fine-lined Micron Pen to trace inside the stencil for a defined look. Remove the stencil and use Alcohol Brush Markers to add depth and refine the ink blending further.
Assembling the Card
Cut the inked panel diagonally and adhere it to a White 110 lbs Ultra Thick Cardstock card base. For a seamless finish, apply a strip of Black Cardstock over the seam using Liquid Glue.
Crafting the Sentiment
Stamp "happy birthday" from the Sentimentally Speaking Stamp Set onto White 80 lbs Cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. Use the coordinating Sentimentally Speaking Dies to cut it out and create dimensional layers by stacking die-cut scraps from my stash.
Finishing Touches
Complete your card with Clear Sparkle Enamel Dots for a touch of sparkle that catches the eye.
Final Thoughts
This colorful and elegant birthday card is not only enjoyable to create but also a heartfelt gift for your loved ones. Experiment with different color combinations and techniques to personalize your designs further.
