"Happy Birthday" Cards

I need to make cards for two teenage boys this month, something I always struggle with, but I was struck by the simplicity of this month's card sketch at Stick It Down.

I turned to my Silhouette for this one and manipulated an alphabet cut file  from Just Nick to give me an outline of the word 'birthday' which I could back with scraps of patterned paper.


Both the card and the word are white cardstock so I used an ink applicator and distress ink to apply some colour to the card, and I also spattered it with silver mist. Having made one, I moved on to a second, and then a third. 




This is such an easy design to repeat and suitable for any age; I think I need more card blanks in this size!

  3. Wow! So glad you made such good use of our card sketch this month. I agree, this one's a keeper. You could substitute any word, couldn't you?

    What a great way to use up scraps, too. I love the font you chose.

    Thanks for using our sketch as inspiration for your card!
