Hello everyone. Hope everyone had a nice Christmas or a nice first night of Hanukkah, if you celebrate. Christmas day was a very quiet day. While we watched Christmas holiday movies, I colored a bunch of new digital stamps from Angie Blom Digital Designs that I got the other day as an early birthday gift to myself. She's having a sale y'all - 50% off site wide, no coupon needed, and it runs until the end of the year. I have no affiliation with Angie Blom and just love to share with my followers the brands I love to use.
I'm trying to get a jump on holidays/celebrations for 2025 and today I made a birthday card using stamps from 2 different sets - Tulip Hello and Let's Party Birthday.
I printed one of the designs from Tulip Hello, die-cut it using a 3.75" x 5" stitched rectangle die from Pink & Main, and colored the image using some alcohol markers that I picked up here in Brasil.
I knew I was going to use Diamond Glaze on the vase to give it a glossy/ceramic look. So, I adhered a piece of white fun foam to the back of my colored image using 2" double-sided tape, then applied the Diamond Glaze to the vase, and set it aside to fully dry. Using the fun foam with the tape makes the cardstock less likely to curl as the glossy accents drys.
**If you do not have Diamond Glaze, you can use Glossy Accents or Nuvo Clear Crystal Glaze to give the same glossy look.
While the Diamond Glaze was drying, I cut the rest of the pieces to finish the card. I made a top-folding A2 card using white cardstock. I also printed the sentiment "Happy Birthday" from the Let's Party Birthday set and die-cut it using a stitched banner die. I also die-cut a piece of pink cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and embossed it with an embossing folder from my stash. Lastly, I die-cut another piece of the pink cardstock using a slightly larger stitched banner die.
