Clean & Simple Birthday With Glimmer┃Inspiration Cards

Happy Saturday, Friends! In today’s blog, I’d like to share with you a clean and simple inspirational set of birthday cards with a white-on-white “Textured, Dimensional & Glimmering” look using the following stamps and dies sets; Beautiful Birthday Bouquets Stamp, Beautiful Birthday Bouquets Dies, Scalloped Layered cake Dies, and Confetti Dots Hot Foil by The Stamp Market. Also, I used some of the foiled phrases from the Foiled Phrases Gold ephemera pack for the cards sentiments. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made them ↓

Therefore, I started by getting the hot foil stamping step over an A2-size white card panel that I created using Hammermill Cardstock. Thus, for the hot foil stamping, I used the Confetti Dots Hot Foil plate alongside the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine and Glimmer Hot Foil System Platform plus a piece of Glimmer Hot Foil Roll-Polished Brass. Once I had finished the hot foil stamping step over the card panel, I used the die-cutting machine to die-cut the cake layers using the dies included in the Scalloped Layered cake Dies set. 

After completing the die-cutting steps, I put them aside, and then I used the Just Vines Stamp to add a white-on-white heat embossing texture to an A2-size white card panel. So, after adding the textured touch to the card panel, I used the Paper Trimmer to trim off 1/8 of an inch from each side f the card panel, and then I got the backing of it adhered with double-sided adhesive to an A2-size top folding white card base. Moving on, after getting the textured card backside of the card's background adhered to the card base, I folded over inwards the edges of the cake layers, and then I used the side of the Teflon bone folder to stretch out the cardstock to add a slightly rounded effect. 

Thus, after adding the dimensional effect to the cake layers, I glued down (as shown in the image above) over the front card panel. Next, to keep up with the card’s layout, I added a subtly dimensional floral touch to the cake on the left side and also on the top part of it. As for the floral touch, I used translucent vellum to keep it soft but dimensional at the same time after adding the white embossing over the translucent vellum. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I used the Beautiful Birthday Bouquets Stamp and Beautiful Birthday Bouquets Dies for the flowers. Also, I used the MISTI Mini Stamp Tool along with Embossing InkEmbossing Powder Ultra Fine Alabaster, and Wow Dual Speed Heat Tool for the heat embossing step.

Lastly, to finish the card, I used one of the sentiments from the Foiled Phrases Gold pack to get the card sentiment mounted over the bottom layer of the cake, and lastly, I glued down some Crystal Confetti to add an extra touch of sparkle to the card. 

For the second example, I used the large die-cutting floral cluster that I had left over from the previous stamping and white heat embossing step over the vellum.

So, to keep up with the cohesive look on both cards, I used the same background stamp to add the white-on-white to an A2-size white card panel. Next, I used the paper trimmer to trim off 1/4 of an inch from each side of the card panel, and then I got the backing of it mounted with craft foam adhesive to add dimension to an A2-size side folding white card base on a landscaping form.

Then, I got one of the foiled card sentiments glued down to the center-right side of the floral cluster. Next, I added dimension to the sentiment by placing craft foam adhesive under the right side of it and underneath the part where I had previously glued it over the floral cluster.

That said, after getting the card sentiment mounted over the card, I finished the card by using the Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue and the Jewels Picker to glue down here and there some of the Crystal Confetti to add the card a little extra touch of shine.

And with that said, friends, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the step-by-step for how I’ve made this clean and simple inspirational set of birthday cards with a white-on-white “Textured, Dimensional & Glimmering” look using stamps, dies, and more by The Stamp Market.
