My April "Last Thursdays" birthday series kicks off with a fun card that pokes a little fun at those "older" birthdays!
CASEd from Natasha Hein at Diary of Two Crafty Girls.
One of the reasons that makes this card so awesome is that it is a fantastic way to use up leftover scraps of coordinating Designer Series Paper. Here, I used some of my International Bazaar DSP. Trying to use it up before it retires next month.
The base of the card is Rich Razzleberry. For the background, I embossed a piece of 3-3/4" x 5" Pacific Point with the Chevron Texture Folder, then layered it on a Tangerine Tango mat that is 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" so it's just peeking out.
The candles are 5/8" wide, and I hated using that measurement, but 1/2" was too skinny and 3/4" was too wide. I cut each of the candles at different lengths: 3", 3-1/2" and 4".
Did you figure out how I did the flames yet? They are punched from Brights Designer Paper with the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. Too Cool!
The sentiment is from Bring On The Cake, inked in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White card stock, then punched with the Decorative Label Punch.
I adhered a bow made with the retired Sale-A-Bration Tangerine Tango satin ribbon as an accent.
My horizontal version uses the Honeycomb Texture Folder and this time I trimmed off the candles flush with the background…before adhering it to the mat.
And, I added a second layer of "petals" onto my flames. I love that detail!
