Green birthday for Paper Rose

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support!

 Today, I'm sharing a birthday card using products from Paper Rose Studio.

I created a background of green alcohol inks on Yupo. I cut the Magnolia Bloom die from gold mirror cardstock, and adhered it over the alcohol ink background. I cut the birthday die from the same gold mirror cardstock, layered it on white cardstock, and adhered it to the card. I finished by white embossing the word "Happy" from the Lovely Florals Blossom stamp set onto a scrap of green cardstock and adhered it over the birthday diecut.

Rainbow border congrats for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a card for Paper Rose Studio.

I cut a piece of white cardstock to be the same size as my card front. I cut the Wedding Blooms Border die from the panel on an angle to create a window. I chose a piece of rainbow paper from the Rainbow Garden Collection 6x6 pack and adhered it behind the window. I stamped the sentiment from the "It's your day" stamp set in black ink, and added some clear embellishments to finish the card.

Welcome, test tube baby!

The latest release from Spellbinders includes a die set filled with laboratory equipment, which is right up my alley (I trained in science - bona fide science nerd, right here!). I didn't have any sentiments that would fit a card set in a science lab, but babies are sometimes conceived in a test tube, so I made a baby card!
