Birthday Card Filled With Sweetness!!

Happy Wednesday friends! Today I'm sharing my sweet birthday card featuring a few of the new products from the awesome Honey Bee Stamps Celebrate release! Ice cream is my favorite dessert so I just had to use these dies from the Lovely Layers: Cupcakes & More Honey Cuts!

First I created the card base and layers by die cutting a piece of patterned paper from the Let's Party paper pad with the largest Lovely Layouts: Party Frames die set. I adhered it to an A2 card base with Bee Creative glue. I die cut vellum with the next largest die and set it aside to work on the other card elements.

Next I die cut 80# white cardstock with the ice cream cone and ice cream scoop dies (x 3) from the Lovely Layers: Cupcakes & More set. Then I used Detail Blender Brushes to add inks to the die cuts. I used various inks in my stash to imitate chocolate and strawberry ice cream. I used the new BeeLuxe Blending Brushes to add darker shading to the ice cream scoops. These small angled brushes make it easy to keep the ink just where I wanted!  I added shading to the vanilla scoop with Copic marker E50, blending it some with the 0 marker.

When I first saw the Lovely Layers: Party Blower Honey Cuts, I had a thought wondering if it would work to die cut tissue paper with the two fringe dies. I was delighted to find that it works great and creates a fun and fluffy fringe for the party blower! I die cut three layers of tissue paper with the two dies and glued the layers together. I coordinated the die with the background by cutting more paper from the Let's Party paper pad. If you need assistance assembling the party blower, be sure to check out the handy and downloadable layering guide found in the product description.

I stamped the sentiment from the Celebrating You stamp set with black ink. Then I cut it out with the coordinating die and added foam strips to the back.
