Birthday Card and Wax Seals

Today I'm sharing a card that features Spellbinders new Sealed Blooming Stems die set from the new Sealed For Summer collection!  I added a fun wax seal to the card in lieu of stamping a sentiment.  (P.S.:  I just noticed that as of the date of this blog, the product title describes these as "hot foil plates".  They are not!)

First I created the stems and flowers by die cutting all of the pieces in the Seal Blooming Stems set from colored cardstock.  I have all of the cardstock I used in the list below.  Using colored cardstock makes it super easy and quick to create the elements for a card.  I didn't even add shading to the die cuts--may be a first for me!  Haha!

After I glued the layers together, I created my wax seal by melting some frosted wax beads.  I just use my heat tool to melt wax beads in the melting spoon.  So much faster!  I poured the melted wax onto my silicone mat and pressed the Sweet Happy Birthday wax seal stamp into the wax.  Once it had cooled, I used a gold pen to highlight the sentiment and flower.

For the A2 card base and layers, I added a dark violet layer to the card.  I had an embossed piece leftover from a previous project that I used for the next layer.  It was embossed with the gorgeous Flower Frenzy 3D embossing folder and measures 3" x 4".

I glued the Blooming Stems onto the embossed layer.  Then I added an wax seal sticker to the back of the wax seal to adhere it to the card.

This was such an easy card to make and I really love how it turned out!  I hope you do too!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!
