Birthday Card

This is a simple birthday card.  It is actually two different stamps that you can arrange any way you like. I try to buy stamps that give me as much freedom as possible.


In this design, the glitter adds a little life to the very simple image.  This is heat embossed so the dark lines are raised.  This is perfect for using glitter.  The glue stays pooled up in the balloon and letters so there is no frustration.  


TIP:  Let it dry completely and use a cheap blush brush to brush off the excess glitter.  The brush will just clean it up but it will not ruin your design. 


TIP:  Some designs look better on square cards.  I just used my paper cutter to cut off the top of a blank card to make a custom size.
