Let’s make some handmade Celebration Cards!

April 21, 2024

We are celebrating today with a set of two celebration cards.

I started these cards by stamping and embossing the images from the Celebrate stamp set from Pinkfresh Studio in gold embossing powder. Next, I used the coordinating stencils and blending brushes to color in the images. I kept it simple using only five ink colors. The colors I used were cherry blossom, peony, sage, eucalyptus, and lemon whip. You could simplify it even further by choosing only one pink and one green ink and simply using a lighter then a heavier application. I used the coordinating dies to cut out the images. Sentiments were stamped and die cut from the Pinkfresh Studio Celebrate banners set.

For the backgrounds, I used the same ink colors but applied the ink through the background stencils, using a heavier application to the left. I used two different background stencils from Pinkfresh Studio: leafy squares and modern mosaic. I don’t believe these are available anymore, but lots of background stencils would work for this project.

At this point, all that was left to do was assemble the cards. I popped up the layers with a mix of foam tape and stacked die cuts. For the confetti card, I softened the background by adding in a layer of vellum.

Both cards were finished off with some gorgeous gold glitter pops of color.

I purchased all of the supplies in this project.
