Stampin' Up! Celebrate Gift Tag

I used the Happy Birthday to You stamp set from Sale-a-Bration to make this pretty tag.  Just in case you didn't know - the Happy Birthday to You stamp set is FREE with a qualifying order...how sweet it that!!


I started by heat embossing the flower/cake image with white embossing powder onto watercolour paper from Stampin' Up!


Here's the stamp set.  The images stamp beautifully and the fonts are gorgeous!


I used my Aqua Painters, first with Basic Gray ink for the leaves, then Melon Mambo for the flowers.  Watercolouring is relaxing and quite easy.  View my previous post for a watercolour demo.


Once dry, I die cut the flowers using the Birthday dies.  The white leaves on the tag were also cut using the same dies!


I used the Bonanza Dies to die cut Melon Mambo & Whisper White cardstock.


Next, I embossed the Melon Mambo tag with the Scripty 3D embossing folder.  It's so elegant, and perfect for so many happy occasions!




I used Glue Dots to adhere the leaves to the back of the flowers, then added dimensions to pop up the flowers.  
Next I heat embossed the sentiment onto Melon Mambo cardstock using white embossing powder, then fussy cut.  You know I love dimensionals, so yuppers, I popped up the sentiment.

I added a bow using Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon then still felt something was missing, soooooo, I cut my Whisper White Flax Ribbon length-wise to get two strands then attached the Melon Mambo & Whisper White tags.  

I love the look of this tag!  I hope you do as well 😊

If you wish to purchase any of the products used for this tag (the product list is at the bottom of this post), or any stamping supplies, I would be very happy to be your demonstrator!

Welcome to my blog!  Today's card features the FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set Happy Birthday to You.  You can earn this stamp set with your qualifying order!  Read on....


The Whisper White base & layer embossed using the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder are the perfect subtle backdrop for the focal point of the card - the flowers.


Happy Birthday to You FREE Sale-A-Bration stamp set




I've tried several different watercolour papers but wasn't satisfied with the results, so I finally purchased the Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper from Stampin' Up! LOVE it!
If you haven't bought it, I urge you to - you won't be disappointed!

When watercolouring, I prefer to heat emboss so the colours stay inside the lines, and used White Embossing Powder for the cake & flower image.  It's still magic to me!!

With the image heat embossed, it was time to colour!  You'll need an Aqua Painter! 
The cake & leaves are both Basic Gray, full strength, and watered down.  I used Real Red & Melon Mambo for the flowers, and watered down Melon Mambo for the cake stand.  
Play with the colours - start light and add more ink to darker and give depth.  Your cards will have that gorgeous watercolour look!

I used the the Birthday Dies to cut out the image.

I hope after viewing my video you're inspired to start water colouring!


Before adhering the Whisper White embossed layer, I attached Silver Metallic Thread to the layer, using glue dots.  Looks like I went around the layer 5-6 times with the thread.  Love the look!
Next, I cut out a piece of Basic Gray cardstock using the largest Stitched Circle Die.
Then die cut leaves & sprigs from the Birthday Dies in Whisper White, Basic Gray & Silver Glimmer Paper., then using Glue Dots, attached them to the flowers & cake.
TIP:  when adding leaves etc, to group them in 3's.

Here's a pic of the card from my video!



Thank you so much for stopping by!
