I’m starting a week long series called, “Quick Birthday Cards.” Here is my first in the series. Actually this is a duo today. I was hired, on the fly, to make a birthday card while my cleaning crew was here. After I made this card, they wanted me to make 2 more just like it only more masculine!
This version is using the new Sale-A-Bration set Happy Moments. The delicate flowers on the cake just screams, “Ladies!” Since they didn’t give me a color scheme, I went with my favorite. Purples….. well more specifically, Rich Razzleberry and Pale Plum. It’s lick-o-licious! Well, this is all I needed to show them. They all got very excited and started thinking about what other birthdays were coming up. It was actually fun to watch them. Carla was next to ask if I could make her a card for a 26 year old. She wanted blues and browns!
You should also find the “masculine version” of this card. I grabbed the Sweet Pea paper pad for this color combination! However, I used the set Fun and Fast Notes for the birthday cake. I think hearts fit better for a gentleman’s card then flowers
Ladies Supplies: Happy Moments, Felicidades Siempre and Palabras Caprichosas (it was stamped on the inside of the card). Basic Black Ink; Pretty in Pink, Rich Razzleberry and So Saffron Stampin’ Write Markers; Pale Plum, Rich Razzleberry and Naturals White card stock; Cottage Wall DSP. Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and Clear Rhinestone Brads; Wide Oval and Scallop Oval Punch.
Gentleman Supplies (differences only): Fun & Fast Notes – Sweet Pea Paper Pad – Chocolate Chip and Taken with Teal Card Stock; Chocolate Chip Grosgrain and Vintage Brads. I also used liquid applique for the frosting!
