Countdown Day 1: Bunny Birthday – MFT Stamps

Only one more day until the April release is live! Have any favorites yet? I had lots of leftover cardstock scraps so I decided to put them together to create today’s inspiration. I am building up my birthday stash as I need cards for my friends and family and birthday cards to donate to Cards for Kindness, hence another birthday card. What kind of card do you make the most?

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
  1. On a piece of copy paper, adhere strips of scrap cardstock. I used scraps of solid cardstock – Princess Pink and Grapesicle, and scraps of patterned paper from the Springing for Houndstooth Paper Pad. It was a mix of pastel colors so I thought they worked perfectly together.
  2. Die cut the patterned paper panel using the largest hexagon from the Stitched Hexagon STAX Die-namics.
  3. Using two of the Stitched Hexagon dies, die cut a frame from the largest and second largest hexagon. Die cut four frames to build up a shaker wall.
  4. Adhere three frames together, add acetate, and then add the fourth frame on top. I thought the frame needed additional height so I added thin foam strips as well.
  5. Die cut the Happy Birthday Die-namics from white and Cotton Candy cardstock. Glue the layers together, and then glue on top of the patterned paper hexagon. In hindsight, I should have used a much smaller sentiment die. I had trouble adding the bunny with the balloon image because it obstructed the sentiment so much so I had to hang it off the edge a bit.
  6. Add irridescent shaker bits and adhere the frame on top.
  7. Stamp and copic color several images from RAM Best Buds. Die cut with the coordinating die-namics.
  8. Add other stamps to the card front and adhere the images around the panel. Note: I doodled the trails behind the butterflies because I should have stamped before adhere the shaker. The stamp set does come with trail stamps, but they will look different than what I doodled.
  9. Adhere the card front to an A2 card base.

Only one more sleep! See you tomorrow for more inspiration.
