Good Morning.

I adore cute cards and thought I would share this fun birthday card.

You will need:

• White Card Super Smooth 300gsm
• White Card Super Smooth 250gsm
• Nude Sirio Colour Card 290gsm
• Celestial Blue Plain Card 290gsm
• Fleck Kraft Card 250gsm
• Apple Green Card Plain 240gsm
• Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm
• Anita’s PVA Tacky Glue 60ml

You will also need:

• Animal Stamps (Hello Bluebird)
• Frame Die (Hello Bluebird)
• Leaves Die (Hello Bluebird)
• Copic Markers
• Nuvo Drops

To make the card base I trimmed down a piece of White Card Super Smooth 300gsm to 4 1/8" and I scored this at 5 7/8". I then die cut the frame using Nude Sirio Colour Card 290gsm and White Card Super Smooth 250gsm. I then die cut the blue background using some Celestial Blue Plain Card 290gsm. I adhered these onto the card base using some Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm.

I then stamped and coloured the images onto a piece of White Card Super Smooth 250gsm. Trim these out and place aside.

I then die cut the leaves using some Fleck Kraft Card 250gsm and Apple Green Card Plain 240gsm. I adhered these onto the card using some Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm and Anita’s PVA Tacky Glue 60ml. I then adhered the images onto the card using some more Stick it! 3D Foam Tape 9mm.

To finish the card off I added some nuvo drops. This was so fun to make and you can switch up the different colours of card for different effects.
