Sparking Birthday Bash Cards

Hello Crafty Friends, Heejung Hunsberger here! I'm thrilled to be returning as a guest designer for Spellbinders this month. If you'd like to get to know me better, you can visit my blog or follow me on Instagram. Additionally, I have a YouTube channel where I regularly post video tutorials. Today, I’m sharing three birthday cards featuring the Birthday Bash Collection by Simon Hurley, using black and metallic card stock.

Happy Birthday To You Cards

Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, BP-196 I gold foiled on the black card stock with the Birthday Bash BetterPress Plate. I colored a few images with acrylic markers. Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, BP-196 I hot-foiled the "Happy Birthday to You" BetterPress Plate with Rainbow Foil on white card stock and die-cut the sentiment with a circle die. Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, BP-196 I finished up with Peridot, Peach Blush, and Capri Blue color essentials gems on the card.

Mylar Balloons Party Card

Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, S4-1349 I used the Plaster 3D embossing folder on black card stock to create the background. Then, I cut out the Mylar Balloons dies from the Rose Gold, Gold, and Silver assorted Pack Treasured Card Stocks, which are new releases in July. Each color pack contains 5 card stock styles (Glitter Metallic, Matte Metallic, Brushed Metallic, Mirror Metallic, Pearl Metallic) with 3 sheets of each style per pack. Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, S4-1349 I used the glitter metallic for each balloon’s base and the mirror metallic style for the balloon’s top. Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, S4-1349 I matte gold foiled on black card stock with the Birthday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plates, die-cut it with coordinating die. I finished up with the gold smooth discs on the card.

Party Balloons Card

Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, E3D-103, BD-0883 I stenciled the Party Balloon Stencil with a blending brush. Then, I embossed the stenciled paper by aligning the stencil shape with the embossing folder design. Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, E3D-103, BD-0883 Color the edge of the balloon with a marker to create a three-dimensional effect. Sparking Birthday Bash Cards, E3D-103, BD-0883 I used the white Jelly Pen to highlight the balloons. Then, I matte gold-foiled the sentiment from the Birthday Sentiment Glimmer Hot Foil Plate on black card stock. I finished up with Gold Smooth Discs on the card.
