Happy Birthday!

  • by

Here are two birthday cards in the same color scheme–teal and white.

This card has a lot of color and texture but came together in a hurry. The background paper is from Papertrey Ink’s “Winter Woods” paper pack, covered with the “Dainty Scallop Cover-up” from My Favorite Things cut from white. All it needed was the “happy” die from a free set from Papertrey with the accompanying sentiment white embossed on a black strip of paper. I ended up adding three little pearls as a final embellishment.

This one makes me happy–bright colors and CAS design. I used a piece of Washi tape down the left side of the white card and added a thin strip of True Black cardstock for an accent. The sentiment, from “Scribbled Sentiments” (PTI) was stamped in Hawaiian Shores to match the card base and black as a repeat of the black accent. Three enamel dots finished it off. 

I’m linking these up to the newest Less is More Challenge: Mostly Teal.

  1. Two super cards Karen. That ombré type paper on the first card looks brilliant behind the arched die cut. Loving your second card with the crisp geometric shapes in the band that really complements the round enamel embellishments so well. Such a gorgeous design. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx

  2. Two fantastic cards showcasing those beautiful teal tones and I love them both. Super stunning and thanks for playing along at Less is More this week. Sarah

  3. What fab cards! Loving the scallop die background, so gorgeous, and the washi on the second card is great! It gives such a contemporary feel! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More 🙂

  4. I like the look of that scallop die…..I shall add it to my wish List! These are both fab and happy cards – the ombré paper on the first and crisp CAS design on the second give them both a really cool edge. The teal card base with the crisp white panel looks so effective. Thank you for playing along with us at Less is More this week 🙂

  5. I’d never thought of using washi tape to make a card (not that I have loads), but that is so effective, Karen. Another two gorgeous cards.
