Happy Birthday

I am delighted to share a gorgeous card today designed by the very talented Nikki Payne.  Nikki is a fabulous design team member for Heartfelt Creations.  Nikki always puts so much thought into her projects and they are always very inspiring.  I just love the feminine feel that this card portrays.

Happy Birthday

Today Nikki is going to show you how you can use the pram die to make an umbrella.

Happy Birthday

  •  First, cut a 7″ square out of white cardstock, and ink the edges with some pink chalk ink.
  • Cut two 6″ x 1″ strips of pink cardstock and make 2 borders using  your favorite punch.
  • Ink the edges.
  • Cut the decorative 6″ square panel from patterned paper.
  • Adhere the 2 borders at the top and bottom from the back and adhere it to your card.
  • Fussy cut out the little girl and dog image and adhere her to the card with some foam squares.
  • Die cut out the pram and cut of the hood part.  Adhere it to the card  just at the edges (not the top) allowing it to curve.
  • Die cut out the handle and add this to the umbrella.
  • Next, die cut a mixture of different size flowers in both pink and white inking the edges again with pink.
  • Die cut out the delicate flourishes in yellow.
  • Next, add the flowers just inside the umbrella and cascading out of it.
  • Cut out the birthday sentiment and add this to the top right hand side of the card.
  • Add a double satin pink bow and adhere this just underneath the sentiment.
  • For the final touch add some pearls, a decorative pearl button to the bow and add a little stickles glitter.

Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration.  Thank You for visiting!
