Fun and Snarky Slimline Birthday Card


Hello everyone, and Happy Saturday.  It's Design Team Member Michael here with a fun slimline birthday card that is perfect for your BFF or other close friend or family member, that can take a good joke. Although, I don't think my BFF would "LOL" if I sent her this card.  :-)  When I saw the first line in the new "Old, Loved, and Rescued" stamp, the idea for this card immediately popped into my head.    

The first thing I did was to make my slimline card base using white cardstock - 8" x 9.25", scored in half for a 4" x 9.25" card base.  Then I printed one of THESE digital confetti papers and adhered it to the card front.  I also stamped Old, Loved, and Rescused on a piece of white cardstock.


Then I cut a piece of white cardstock 3.25" x 8.25", stamped Slimline Candles using black ink, added Yellow Stickles to the flames, and set it aside to dry.
  


Once everything was dry, I colored the candles using some fine-tip markers, adhered it to a piece of fun foam, and then the card front.  Then I cut apart the words in the Old, Loved, and Rescued sentiment that I wanted to use, layered them on a piece of black cardstock, and then I adhered them to the card front.  



To finish off the card, I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Grand Greetings, Set of 5 - on the inside of the card.  And, lastly, I added more stickles to the candles to give them some shimmer and shine.

Here's the final card again - front and inside.



I'd love to know what you think of this card idea.  If you love the stamps I used in this card, remember to use my discount code to save 10% at checkout on the Technique Junkies website - TJ10Michael.
