Birthday Wishes class cont'd

This time we have a vellum overlay on the front of the card, plus a pocket for a gift card or pull out message tag.

 Unfortunately, the photo is not showing the fabulous sparkle of the disco ball, to which I added Stardust Stickles. Super cute! 

Keep in mind these designs don't have to be just birthday themed - use the same designs for any message you want to convey, pulling sentiments and fun stamps that fit your occasion! 

Ever made a clear front card?

Today's card is a clear-front card, made with plastic paper (a little different from acetate as it is much heavier and sturdy). I love the way it turned out and will use this technique again. For more info, check out Heidi Swapp's Birthday Wishes Stamp Therapy class here.

Isn't it the cutest.

Card with a view! So much fun. I love it. 

Inside is free reign. Decorate to your heart's content. It's a birthday, so balloons and cake are a must, right. 

I wish it showed up a little better, but I think you can see the clear dots on the cafe lights and some of the sparkle on the cupcake. So fun to add these embellishments. 

Hope you like today's card. As I have said before, I highly recommend Heidi Swapp classes. There is so much to learn and improve on and the ideas are endless. Give it a go and sign up for one of her classes. Link above. 

More from the Birthday Wishes class

This pocket card has a pull-out jumbo tag inside where you can add lots more messages. It would be a great one for a co-worker, for example, as there is so much room for many signatures and sentiments from friends and loved ones...or make it just from you. 😊 It's a fun project for sure. 

For this card, we made a pocket with a window and pull out tag/card. I love all the tons of fun party/birthday sentiments using several Heidi Swapp birthday and party themed stamps sets. Distress Oxide ink colors used on this one are Lucky Clover, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry and a DIY custom blend.

All these fun labels stamps and dies are new from Heidi Swapp. We used lots of them here and even created the window with the largest die. 

I didn't want the inside to be completely blank once the tag/card is pulled out, so I added the cutest tiny little hug just for fun.  

Any of these stamps and dies can be found here at Heidi Swapp Shop.

Birthday Wishes

The newest Stamp Therapy class from Heidi Swapp is up! If you love making unconventional cards or want to learn some great techniques you can use in your card making, or if you struggle with birthday cards, give this class a try. There are 10 lessons in the class and so many fun ideas. This is just one of them; I'll be sharing more as I continue the class. Also note that once you purchase the class, you can take it as many times as you like and all at your own pace.

Here's a pocket tag card.
These party and birthday stamp sets from Heidi Swapp are so much fun to create a party themed project. The fringe and banners, balloons, and tuck away tags are adorable. The tiny tag with the letter stickers add the perfect finishing touch.

And just look at the detail on these Mylar balloon stamps!! Even without pop dots theses look dimensional. 

Distress Oxide ink colors I used on this one are Pine Needles, Twisted Citron, Kitsch Flamingo, and Picked Raspberry.

Happy Mother's Day

Tag card, which really is a card. Cut out your tag on a fold and you have an opening tag. You can do this with pretty much any shape and if you have dies, even easier. I love adding something a little unexpected to all of my projects, and I know mom will like it. 

Stamp sets for this one are Heidi Swapp are Mar 24 Stamp Society (background textures), Sep 22 Stamp Society (florals), Jan 21 Stamp Society (love you), Party Decor (happy, day, banners).
