Put Another Candle On Your Birthday Cake

Hi bloggers!  I am just loving these All In One collection!  This one is so great for a quick birthday card too!  I started by embossing the Rose Bed embossing folder and then cutting it diagonally down the middle.  I added it to another piece of coconut white card to create the background.  Next I cut the Another Candle Birthday Cake in white with a piece of blush card behind it.  I used the outline left on the blush card to nip away everything but the centre of the cake.  I kept it to put in place at the end.  I used the same technique to do the flowers, but just used small pieces to cover the flower areas.  These were done in Old Rose Card with Khaki card leaves.  I glued them in place from the back of the white die cut.  I cut the base out of silver card then glued it in place.  Next I added the blush card behind the cake portion.  I cut the die again out of Old Rose but only a small piece to cover the word "Put Another" and I paper pieced them back into the white die cut.  I added the birthday cake on to my background with foam mounting tape to raise it.  Using Cosmic Shimmer dries clear glue, I added some to each of the candle's flames then sprinkled Iced Snow on to it and allowed it to dry.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are  6 1/4"  x  7 1/4" in size.  All for now.

  2. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, am loving this sample today, the flame on the candles looks amazing with the bling, almost feel the heat coming off them, mind you I would need a bigger cake for my birthdays now, ha ha. The embossing is so crisp and sharp too.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

    Good Morning Sue.
    I had to search for you again today but it didn't take me as long as usual and without a doubt it was worth the time.
    I love everything about this card and may even put the dies on my wish list.
    Have a great day.

  22. Good Morning Sue. Another lovely die and another lovely sample card. Beautiful colours and I love the embossing with the roses. Please can someone tell me... is this the same folder as Sueque Bed Of Roses. The Bed of Roses is my all-time favourite embossing. It's just that the roses look bigger on this sample than mine.
    Sorry if I can't post for the next few days.... we are going on one of our dance weekends.... the first of the year...and there isn't WiFi in the rooms ...I will have to catch up when we get home on Monday..Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
