Card

Polka Dot Birthday Cards

by May Park-

Hi everyone! Today I’d like to share a couple of cards that I made for CAS-ual Fridays #109: Polka Dots. When I found out this week’s theme, I immediately thought of my Polka Dot card that I made last year. That card was the first one that I entered into the challenge since I started my blog in June 2012. Any guess what challenge I played along with? It was CAS-ual Fridays #56! The exciting thing for me was that I won this challenge for the first time. So this week’s challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays is extra special to me.

I started with a 4″×3″ card base from PTI Perfect Match Cardstock Sampler. Then I embossed a strip of vellum with the Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Swiss Dots. I have no idea why I hadn’t tried embossing the vellum before. After I saw in the video tutorial how Kristina embossed the vellum in Summer Card Camp: Day 1, I really wanted to make my own. In that way, she inspired me to create this textured backdrop.

For my sentiment, I stamped “birthday!” in versamark ink and heat embossed using white embossing powder. Then I ran a “happy” die through my Cuttlebug cutting machine and adhered the die-cut letters onto the vellum. To finish it off, I added a couple of sequins around the sentiment and rounded the top corner using a Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper. FYI, I used the color scheme, Burnt Umber, Honey, and Butter, from The Play Date Cafe.

Here is another version of my polka dot mini card. It’s pretty much the same except for the color of the card base and stamped sentiment. By the way, I’m entering my first card into the following challenges: Little Tangles #16Moxie Fab World, and Seize the Birthday.

Well, that is it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by. I’d love it if you leave some comments before you go on your way. Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend!

    Tijdens de herfstperiode en lente en de avonden van de zomers is het aanbevolen om de palm met water te sproeien. Dit verwijdert stofdeeltjes van de bladeren waardoor zij beter licht kunnen opnemen en daarnaast mooier worden.

    This design is wicked! You obviously know how to keep a reader amused.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog
    (well, almost…HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!

    I’ve been surfing on-line more than 3 hours lately, but I by no means discovered any attention-grabbing article like yours.

    It’s pretty value sufficient for me. Personally, if all site owners
    and bloggers made excellent content material as you did, the net will likely be
    much more useful than ever before.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog
    and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like
    yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m
    not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks
