Instructions 

Short on time to make a birthday card?  Problem solved. Today I am sharing a simple project with a clean and modern look that is perfect to give to anyone.

Step 1: For the background of this card, use the Polka Dotty Stencil to dry emboss on a piece of Perfect White Cardstock. Run it through a die cut machine with the foam pad. Trim piece down to 4”x5 1/4.

Step 2: Here is an up close view of the dry embossed background.

Step 3: Take the Pebble Beach, Seafarer, Coastal Coral and Sea Grass Inks and rub the ink pad directly onto a piece of Perfect White Cardstock. Do this until the desired look is achieved.

Step 4: Now stamp the “Happy Birthday” sentiment from Bestest Friends Stamp set on each color (make sure the Archival Ink is dry before stamping), using the Grey Tinted Embossing Ink and White Embossing Powder. Heat that until it is melted. Trim each piece down.

Step 5: Now add the White Adhesive Foam behind the dry embossed panel and inked sentiment strips.

Step 6: To finish the card, Center the dry embossed panel on an A2 Size white card base (made one from Stark White Cardstock), Then center the “Happy Birthday” sentiments on the card.
