Hey there! Dawn here! Just popping in to share a card with you today. As I was making projects for the most recent Greetery release, I used the Grand Finale die and stencils to make a 4th of July card, but I knew it would make darling birthday cards, as well. So, I put some of those new release items to use to create this card.
That Grand Finale die and stencil combo is so easy to use! I stenciled on three different colors of ink for the fireworks and then behind that layer, I added a layer of gold glitter card stock! Talk about packing a sparkly punch!!
PRO TIP: For a bit of added dimension and interest, I put more pressure — and as a result, more ink — in the center of the fireworks and let the colors fade toward the outer edges…similar to what fireworks do in real life!
I also pulled out the Star Stream Die to cut out all the small stars. They’re great to add in the centers of the fireworks, as well as accents around the card.
PRO TIP: You could also die cut a little pile of extra stars and tuck inside the card to serve as confetti!
Both sentiments are from Star Stream Sentiments and cut with the matching Star Stream Sentiments die.
Want to make this a guy card? Simply change the colors and bam! Easy peasy!
Hope this has given you a bit of inspiration today!
Happy creating!
Dawn
