Halloween Birthday Card by Larissa Heskett

Spooktacular Birthday Cake Card!

Hello Crafty Friends!!
Larissa here today to share a spooktacular Halloween birthday card!! I'm using several die sets to create a personalized birthday cake and I LOVE how it turned out!! I hope this will INSPIRE you to create some personalized birthday cakes for your next project!! 

This card features:

Halloween Accessories Die Set
Frames & Flags Die Set
Basic Frames Die Set
Cake Builder Die Set
Halloween Basics Paper Pack
Birthday Greetings Stamp Set

I started by die cutting the Frames & Tags Die Set from some Black Glitter Cardstock and then I created the card panel by die cutting some white cardstock using the Basic Frames Die Set!! I Inked the Background using some Salvaged Patina and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks!! Then I stamped and embossed the "Make a Wish" sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set using VersaFine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I added some Black Soot Distress Paint splatters!! 

Next, I die cut the pieces for my Halloween cake using the Cake Builder Die Set. Then I die cut the bats from the Halloween Accessories Die Set from some white cardstock and Inked with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink. I layered them onto the cake layers and I LOVE the way they line up with the design!! 

I wanted to create a FUN light-up element so I die cut the Jack-O-Lantern also from the Halloween Accessories Die Set and backed it with some gold vellum!! I Then used my punch to create a hole in the card and then I adhered the Pear Blossom Press One Light to the back of the card panel!! 

I added some foam tape to the back of the panel!! Then I adhered the panel to the frame and adhered it to the cardbase!! I adhered the cake to the card panel using some more foam tape for some dimension and I LOVE how it turned out!! 

I finished off the design by adhering some of the star confetti in both holographic and black and it adds the perfect touch of sparkle and shine!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Happy Birthday Background Card by Diane Morales

Spreading the Joy!
Today we are sharing this perfectly purple birthday card by Diane!

This card features:
Birthday Greetings Stamp Set
Cake Builder Die Set
Frames & Flags Die Set
Circle Frames Die Set

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

Let us take this sentiment stamp and turn it into a delightful background.

This card starts off with a 4 ¼ x 5 ½ panel of card stock.

I then selected the stamps that I wanted to use from Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and lined up the stamps on my stamping block.
I used the back of the cardstock panel to do my test stamping.
This helps me to figure the color of ink that goes best with the card stock that I chose.

Also to work out the pattern that I want to stamp out.

For this color cardstock, Shaded Lilac Distress Distress Oxide looks the best.

 

Now it is time to stamp and create a pattern all the way down my cardstock panel.

I usually go 1/4 way down the paper, then stop and dry the ink.

This prevents me from accidentally smearing the freshly stamped ink on my hand.

Once your panel is complete, it is important to either let your ink dry or make it dry.

Next, I cut out the pieces of my cake with the new Cake Builder Die Set and colored my cake and pedestal in with alcohol markers. This is a quick and effortless way to get color on your die cuts.

Now that all the pieces of my card are ready to go, it is time to assemble.

For my card front and card base I use the Frames & Flags Die Set.

Once everything was cut out and assembled together, I added silver and white paint splatters to add interest to the background.

I also use the scallop circle from the Circle Frames Die Set.

After placing the scallop on the front of my card, I added on my cake and pedestal.

I used my Posca markers to add a bit of detail on the cake and pedestal.

The last thing to add to my card was the candles at the top.

 

Thanks for taking the time to check my way to use our newest sentiment stamps.
