Big Birthday Wishes Cards

Hello, 

Today I'm sharing birthday cards I have made in February for my neighbour and my Auntie.

On both I have used Pinkfresh Studio stamp, stencil and die sets.

This first one is a big 6 x 8 side opening card and I first covered the front with a piece of 49 and market yellow spring inspired paper from my stash and I first distressed all edges. Thin I cut from the same paper a stitched oval die stacking it 3 times. Then I cut a smaller stitched oval and I embossed that with charming stitched floral coverplate and added one more underneath.

I took the Lantern Botanicals set and the Kindness in Bloom sets and inked in versa mark so I could gold emboss them then I coloured them in using my Pinkfresh Inks. I used the same inks on a spare piece of card to be able to cut my Happy Birthday die from. I also die cut from gold foil card the letters to make Mum from my Jody Lowercase dies.

As you can hopefully see there is lots of dimension and to finish off I added some pearls in the colours I had used to ink.

This next card is for my Auntie who will soon be 90! So this deserves to be a big 8 x 8 card and as I am hand delivering it I could let loose on the dimension.

I decided to cut away an inch of the front panel and add a square on top but hanging over. I used the same paper inside and out on the card with the addition of running that top paper through my Gemini using the Petal Trellis with its stitch effect.

Then I stamped out using Versa mark the Magnolias stamp, stencil and die set and heat embossed in gold again. I used the coral colours this time and citron and bayleaf on my leaves.

I finished off with epoxy stickers and my own birthday sentiment which was cut out and layered on to more gold. The 90 was cut from the same gold mirri card too.

Thanks for calling in today, I am entering both these card in the  Pinkfresh Studio  March 2026 Challenge: Sew Much Fun
