Create a beautiful handmade Birthday Card using Embossing Powder. The embossed looked is a big wow that is easy to do and looks very professional.
Yup, it’s another Handmade Birthday Card, and this time it is a Butterfly Birthday Card. I love making Birthday Cards for my friends and family and I hope that it makes them feel special knowing that I made a card just for them.
Whenever I sit down to make a card the card never finishes how I thought it would in my mind. With this card, I had planned on using an embossing folder and a swirly stamp but I just couldn’t get it to look how I thought it should so I went simpler and this is how it turned out. I have to say I think it is pretty cute.
Embossed Butterfly
- Stamp the Butterfly image on a white piece of card stock using a Clear Embossing Ink Pad
- Sprinkle the stamped image with Embossing Powder and then tap the paper to remove the access
- Use a heat gun and slowly heat the paper and the Embossing Powder will melt and join together creating this awesome Embossed image – be careful not to burn the paper or your fingers!
- After the Embossing Powder dries and cools (just a couple of minutes) cut around the embossed image with a pair of sharp scissors
- I added some rhinestone to the body of the butterfly to make it sparkle and pop just a bit more
Birthday Greeting Tag
- Stamp the Happy Birthday greeting onto a white piece of card stock
- Using a Label punch cut a piece out of a matching colored card stock, and cut the greeting out with the same punch
- Cut the colored label in half and trim inwards a bit so it won’t show on the sides. You only want the ends to show – glue
- When you turn it over you have a perfectly framed tag
When all of the elements are done you start assembling the card
I made this card for a friend of mine at work and I knew everyone on our team would be signing the card so it needed to have lots of space to sign.
To solve that problem I glued a second card to the inside cover of the card so know there is twice as much signing space!
The embossed butterfly is really my favorite element of this card and I how love how simple embossing is. It adds so much to the look of the card.
How pretty, this turned out great!!
