Happy Birthday

Hi again everyone,
Today I would like to share a card I made to celebrate my son's third birthday.  I wanted this card to be bright, fun and boyish!!!  With the help of my Helmar adhesives, Crafter's Workshop stencils and some scraps of leftover scrapbooking materials, this is what I came up with.

I made the base of the card using the Mini Square Dots stencil from The Crafter's Workshop.  I love scallops, it's just one of those trends I just can't let go!!  The cardstock stars are also made using a stencil, for those I used the Boom Boom Boom 12"x12" stencil.

For this assignment my focus was suppose to be the Premium Craft Glue, but as you can see from supply list I used quite a few other adhesives as well.

The patterned paper strip and transparency were adhered using the Quick Fix Permanent Adhesive Runner.  In my design I could hide the glue on the transparency under the patterned paper, but if you ever need a glue that won't show up under a transparency the V2 Vellum Adhesive is perfect for that!

I used the Premium Craft Glue for the felt stars, ribbon and cardstock stars. The Premium craft glue is ideal for felt as it doesn't soak though the fabric.  It's also a perfect adhesive for heavier materials such as chipboard!!!

 The tiny beads were adhered using the Gemstone Glue.

My favorite part of the card has to be the little frog! He was cut out of patterned paper and then glued in place using the Liquid Scrap Dots.

Happy creating,
