Birthday card

 It’s been a while! I participated in the Concord &9th Summer camp, had a crafty retreat weekend, and then I was ill last weekend. Which meant creating this card was last minute! I think it turned out pretty good for a quick card. 

My husband’s grandmother turns 100 next week and I’ve been thinking of card ideas for weeks, and I was able to pull it together quickly.

I used the spellbinders scrolled punch & pierce plate from the four petal collection and cut Concord &9th midnight cardstock. I backed this with Spellbinders glacier cardstock. I cut the flowers from Spellbinders stylish ovals hello you floral etched dies from various cardstock and then highlighted them with ink blending. I added this to the front and added a Pinkfresh sentiment and numbers from The Greetery. Add some shimmer spray and gemstones from Gina K and I think I used more companies on this one card than ever before. 😀

Especially after I learned to turn it on a good 20-30 min before I needed it so it could warm up and began using the thermoweb carrier sheets. Pink & main did a foiling class during Crop & Create and I ended up breaking my laminator, so with the discount code, it was a great time to invest in a mini minc! I also loved the Taylored expressions Cake Walk layered stencils and dies from the event and when they showed foil its to match I was sold! I ordered a lot of them. So when I received my new minc and the foil its from Taylored Expressions, off I went to foil! Wow, it works so much better than a laminator. Then I went a bit crazy making all these cards! Each stencil has the components for 3 cards, so I must have foiled 6 panels and stenciled. These are absolutely gorgeous in person. I mixed up the backgrounds a bit. Some are embossing folders with gold or silver pigment ink on top, some are embossi...

 My first cardmaking event was last year, September 2022 and it blew me away and I have not missed one since. The next one is coming up at the end of September so I thought I better wrap up the bonus classes from last year! These were over and above what I thought I was signing up for so I haven’t really had a chance to finish them. I learned some fun techniques from these extra classes and I can’t wait til the next one.

 I was inspired by a Jennifer McGuire video to make these cards.  https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2023/07/must-try-4-for-1-card-technique-a-favorite-free-gift.html  I used an altenew stencil and Gina K dies, stamps, and embossing folders. Using the layered stencils this way gives such a different look than making just one card front at a time. I had a few Pinkfresh studio foiled butterflies leftover from another project I added for accents.
