Birthday Twist Card - Sentimentally Speaking Stamp set

 

Hello crafty friends! Welcome to today's blog featuring The Rabbit Hole Designs New Paisley Bandana 2 Layer stencil paired with the Sentimentaly Speaking stamp set with coordinating dies. I had a funny little crafty mishap when I was creating this card and took a photo of it to share with you.  It was a good laugh out loud moment.

The new Sentimentally Speaking stamp set with coordinatind dies is a card makers "must have"! The set contains 14 everyday sentiments and the coordianting dies frame them beautifully.  This set has quickly become one of my favorites!  I am using the Happy Birthday stamp and matching die for today's Birthday twist card.

I used  Creamsicle, Watermelon and Wildberry inks to stencil the first layer, stencil #1, of the Paisley Bandana stencil. For second layer, stencil #2, I used Grasshopper, Eucalyptus and Rainforest inks.

A - I decided to stamp the main sentiment Happy Birthday in a dark purple ink in the middle of the card using the Stampwheel. Keeping the sentiment in place on the stamping platfoem, I cleaned it off the ink and  I rotated the stamp platform counter clockwise one notch. I masked off the word Birthday and injked only the word Happy in Wildberry ink to stamp it four times rotating the stamp platform one notch  to stamp the sentiment four times the around the top of the card.

B & C - You can see I accidentally inked the wrong side of the stamp platform.  Oooops no stamp there, it was on the other side.  That was a great laugh and easily fixed by whiping off the ink and flipping over the platform to try again. 

I cleaned off the stamp and rotated the stamping platform to place the sentiment one notch rotation below the main Happy Birthday sentiment.  I masked off the Happy portion of the word while inking only the word Birthday. This is stamped in Rainforest ink four times rotating the stamping platform clockwise one additional notch rotation each time.  

D -  I was not excited about the look of the main dark purple Happy Birthday sentiment so I pivoted.  I die cut the purple sentiment out of the card front.   I lined up the card front over an A2 card base and   re-stamped the sentiment with Rainforest ink on a light peach A2 card base.  The card front is attached using adhesive foam squares and the Happy Birthday sentiment show as a recessed sentiment.  A much better results in my opinion.

Colorful Creations: Crafting a Stunning Birthday Card with The Rabbit Hole Designs

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.

Thank you for joining me on this crafting journey! Feel free to share your creations with us—I love seeing how each of you brings your unique style to life.

Candy Twist Happy Birthday

Welcome back to the blog! There is a great BOGO sale at The Rabbit Hole Designs store TODAY. Don't miss out on this amazing deal!


 Now onto today's card featuring new products from the July release. 

I first blended the new Candy Twist Stencil in gray on an A2 sized card panel. I left the Candy Twist Stencil in place and layered the Beam of Light Stencil on top and blended through both stencils with pink. I shifted the Beam of Light Stencil around carefully leaving the Candy Twist Stencil in place and blended two more times through both stencils - in blue and yellow. I added a thin strip of patterned black & white paper to the right side of the A2 stenciled panel. The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the new Sentimentally Speaking stamp set. I used the coordinating dies to stack multiple die-cuts together to add dimension. I finished the card off with a few sequins.
