Birthday Gifts card

I try to stockpile birthday cards to use for the upcoming year. Do you make lots to have hand or are you more an "as need to make" person? Let me know in the comments. 💗

I began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then created a textured background panel by using a stencil and white matte stencil paste. I set that aside to dry while I die cut the presents. 
I used up some scraps from left of pieces of cardstock to create the presents. I adhered them together with liquid glue and then added them to the stenciled panel with foam squares.
I then used the CZ Design Birthday Basics stamp and dies to create my sentiment. I first stamped it in red oxide ink and then a top layer of clear ink so I could add clear embossing powder to heat set it for a bit of dimension.
I hope you enjoyed the project I have made for this challenge and got some inspiration! For your convenience I have listed and linked the supplies I have used below. Thank you so much for stopping by!

    I like to have birthday cards on hand but also I like to make personalized ones for close friends.

    Super fun card and easily a gender neutral card as well. I make cards to have on hand, as my family and friends raid them on a regular basis. SHHHs Don't tell them that I have a secret stash for myself, or they will steal those as well.

    I usually make them as needed. I like to use colors or themes that I know the recipient particularly likes. I do also belong to an online birthday group that exchanges cards, and I normally make a couple at a time in a seasonal theme for those.
    Love the beautiful card you made! The packages are so pretty and I love the background too!

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up. The next project I made also began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white paper. I then trimmed down another piece of...

Simon Says Stamp DieCember Blog Party

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog party! Be sure to take advantage of the  exclusive promotion for this blog party👇👇  I'm one of those rare people that begins to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Using the new Ornate Star die I created ornaments for my little flocked Christmas tree. I feel like I could make a dozen of these easily! I die cut the Ornate Star die once from gold cardstock and once from silver cardstock. I then glued the die cut stars on to silver and gold glitter paper. I weighted it with a large acrylic block to help the stars adhered firmly to the glitter cardstock. When the adhesive was dry I used a craft knife to cut out the stars from the glitter cardstock. I then die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red metallic cardstock and white cardstock and adhered together for thickness and glued them carefully to the stars as to not have a glob of glue mess up the shine of the metallic cardstock. I...
