Playing In The Rain Birthday Card

Card Measurements and Supply List for this project are found at the bottom of this blog post.

This weekend I’m celebrating my 50th birthday and for this week’s Global Design Project color challenge I created a fun birthday card with the turtle from the Playing In The Rain bundle, the Pretty Flowers embossing folder, the sentiments from the Best Day stamp set, and the new Something Fancy dies. I just adore this super cute turtle!

Start with a Blushing Bride cardstock card base. Cut a Highland Heather cardstock panel and a Blushing Bride cardstock panel. Dry emboss the Blushing Bride cardstock panel with the Pretty Flowers embossing folder. Glue the Highland Heather cardstock panel and the embossed Blushing Bride cardstock panel to the card base.

Die cut a Vellum cardstock scalloped stitched rectangle with the Scalloped Contours dies. Die cut a Highland Heather cardstock label and a Basic White cardstock label with the Something Fancy dies. Die cut a Fresh Freesia cardstock scalloped circle with the Layering Circles dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Best Day stamp set in Highland Heather ink across the top of the Basic White cardstock label. Stamp the flowers from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Memento Black ink in the bottom left side of the the Basic White cardstock label. Color the flowers with the Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write Marker and add Wink of Stella for sparkle. Add a piece of Fresh Freesia Open Weave ribbon & White Glittered Organdy ribbon to the back of the Fresh Freesia cardstock scalloped circle with glue dots. Use glue in the center of the Vellum scalloped stitched rectangle to add it to the center of the card front. Layer the Highland Heather cardstock label, the Fresh Freesia cardstock scalloped circle (with the ribbon coming out on the bottom left), and the stamped Basic White cardstock label on the card front overlapping the center of the Vellum cardstock scalloped stitched rectangle.

Stamp the turtle from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. Die cut out the turtle with the Playing In The Rain dies. Color the turtle with Stampin’ Blends and add Wink of Stella for sparkle. Use paper snips to fussy cut out the flower and the turtle’s legs – if you you’d like a closer cut. Use glue dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the turtle to the card front overlapping the Vellum cardstock scalloped stitched rectangle and the labels. Add Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems.

Add a Highland Heather cardstock inside panel layer and a Basic White cardstock inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment from the Best Day stamp set in Highland Heather ink and the flowers from the Playing In The Rain stamp set in Memento Black ink. Color the flowers with the Blushing Bride Stampin’ Write Marker and add Wink of Stella for sparkle. Add a strip of embossed Blushing Bride cardstock to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
