Happy Birthday To You

Hello friends, today I have a whole array of birthday cards to share with you that were all created using the same "free" Happy Birthday to You stamp set by Stampin' UP!  I say "free" because technically, you only receive this stamp set free with a $50 order!  So no, free it is not!  I make a lot of birthday cards and I didn't have a simple large birthday cake stamp set that didn't involve layering stamps or detailed dies, so this set really appealed to me.  The only downside was it had no coordinating die, so I did all the fussy cutting for each of these cards!   

Card details: 

*All of these cards were made using the same layout, I simply alternated patterns of paper and color choices. 

Each A2 sized card was made from Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  I then cut a 5 1/4" x 4' piece of designer patterned paper to line the card base. Using the Scalloped Stitched Nesting Rectangle Dies from Gina Marie Designs, I cut a scalloped piece of cardstock.  I lined the scalloped piece of cardstock with a 3 1/4" x 2 1/4" piece of white cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment at the bottom of this white cardstock in Memento Tuxedo black ink.  On a separate sheet of white cardstock, I stamped the large cake in Memento Tuxedo black ink and then colored the cake with Copic markers.  I fussy cut each cake and adhered it to the card using foram adhesive for added dimension.  I die cut a silver leaf and green leaf to tuck in behind the cake for more detail and interest.  Lastly, I added a couple randomly placed clear rhinestones for more sparkle.   

Here is the "Happy Birthday to You" stamp set from Stampin' UP! that I used to create these cards: 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing a wide array of cards in various colors all made using the same stamp set.  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day! 

XO, Crystal
