So, let's get this party started, shall we?
To make my cards, I went all Mama Elephant. Despite the total cuteness of their stamp and die sets, it's a brand I never use because of a lack of time, so I was happy to work with a few of their sets for once.
Both cards were made using the same pattern, and I started of by stamping the images on 80lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink. I cut them all using the matching dies, and then colored everything using my alcohol markers.
I stamped, cut and colored the group of kids from Hooray Wishes twice, and the balloon words "Congrats" + "Hooray", as well as multiple balloons from Celebration Balloons. On one card I went for a pink, orange and yellow color palette, and on the other I picked a green, aqua and yellow palette.
Next I white heat embossed two different greetings from Hooray Wishes on black cardstock, and trimmed them into slim banners using a die from the Sentiment Strips die set by Pretty Pink Posh.
I cut four Combo rectangle panels out of Strathmore bristol smooth cardstock, and colored them using oxide inks and sponge daubers.
On the first two panels, I applied worn lipstick, spiced marmalade and mustard seed on the rounded edges, and on the two other panels, I used mowed lawn, salvaged patina and mustard seed. I layered and glued together each duo of panels, attached those panels on A2 white card bases, and then stuck on top of each panel a matching Spiffy Speckles panel.
I attached my images on each card using 1mm foam squares, as well as each greeting below the groups of kids, added a few golden heart sequins here and there, and finished my cards by adding highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.
And that's it! I hope you like these simple but yet super cute and fun birthday cards! Thanks so much again, Yuki, for inviting me to this party, and happy birthday Cloud 9 Crafts!
