Hello, friends! It’s Seeka here, and today I’m sharing a birthday card featuring the Birthday Paw-Ty stamp set. I’ve paired a sweet pup from the set with balloons from the Festive Balloon stamp set, and then set them against a backdrop I made using the Triangle Tapestry Bold Prints background cling stamp.
If you haven’t yet, there’s still plenty of time to join in this month’s challenge! This month’s theme is “Birthday.”
I started by stamping the pup and balloons in Copic-friendly Hero Arts Intense Black ink onto Neenah Solar White cardstock. Then, I took my time coloring with browns and reds. I used E23-E29 for the dog and a whole mess of reds (R00, and R20, R30, R21, R14, R43, and R27) for the balloons and party hat. After I finished, I used the coordinating dies for the dog and the balloons to cut them out before I set them aside to work on the background.
I stamped the Triangle Tapestry Bold Prints background in Fresh Peach Shadow ink onto an A2-sized piece of Neenah Solar White. Next, I used a couple of dies from the Nested Rectangle Infinity die set to trim it down, and to create a smaller white panel. I stamped the sentiment onto the smaller panel and then began assembling the card.
I glued the stamped patterned panel onto an A2-sized card base and then adhered the sentiment panel with foam tape. I adhered two of the balloons with glue dots and then used foam tape to adhere the balloon in the foreground. Before adhering the pup with foam tape, I used a W2 Copic marker to add a bit of shadow beneath where he stands. Then, using a black pen, I drew the balloon strings.
Thank you so much for visiting!

Hi Friends! Kristina here for my solo post of the month! I’ve created another card to go with out current Celebrate theme – You have a few more days to get your projects linked up! Here’s what I’ve come up with, it i’s Hero Art’s birthday after all…
I fell in love with this butterfly set the moment I saw it. These images are drawl beautifully. While I have lots of colorful plans for them, I wanted to keep the coloring simple.
I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens for all of my watercoloring. I started by coloring my main butterfly, and once dried, I went around the white space fading it in from the edges of the card and the main butterfly.
I glued this panel down to some fun foam for sturdy dimension, and then only an a2 sized card base. To finish I went over all of the black and white butterflies with a shimmer pen. Lastly, heat embossed my sentiment onto pink card stock with white embossing powder and adhered it onto the card with foam tape.
Thank you for stopping by today, I hope I’ve giving you some inspiration to enter our challenge!

Hello everyone, it’s Juhi here and today I’m sharing a birthday card. The card is for this month’s Challenge – Birthday Cards. There is still time to play along if you haven’t already. You can find the details here.
For today’s card, I’ve used stamps and dies from the My Monthly Hero May 2018 Card Kit.
The background panel is made using alcohol inks, it’s been lying on my craft table for a long time and I finally found the perfect way to use it! I haven’t experimented much with alcohol inks, this is one of my first attempts with them. I love the result, I guess it’s time to experiment some more!
There’s still time to participate in the Birthday Card Challenge! You have until August 10th to play along, we love to see what you make!
I hope you liked my card today and thanks so much for stopping by!
