Hi, Veronica here to share with you two cute Birthday Cards using three Helmar Adhesives.
For this project you will need the following:
Paper Cutter
Scissors
Bone Folder
Word Birthday Stickers
Patterned Paper
Cardstock
Ric Rac Ribbon
Patterned Ribbon
Sizzix Embossing Folders
Sizzix Big Kick
I decided to make the same design but in two different sizes. When getting out your supplies to make a card; it is easy to just make two or three cards right away with the same design.
All you have to do to make them slightly different is change the color, pattern or size.
My first card is a standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I used a sheet of 8.5×11 cardstock. Cut the sheet in half and fold using your bone folder.
With my left over half I cut two more pieces. (1) 4×5 1/4 (1) 3 3/4 x 5. I adhered the 4 x 5 1/4 piece to the front of my standard card using my Helmar 450 Quick Dry.
I then placed my 3 3/4 x5 smaller piece into a sizzix embossing folder about 3/4 of the way in.
I then chose the sticker I wanted as my title for my card. Then I separated the embossed design from the smooth with a piece of Ric Rac.
Next I chose a patterned piece of smaller ribbon and tied it in a bow for my embellishment.
I adhered the bow to my card using Helmar's Scrap Dots.
I like making my cards with some dimension, so I usually place at least three layers on my card. Even though all layers are white in this sample; the three layers give your cards a weight and a look of quality and finished card.
My third embellished layer is adhered with Helmar's Zap Dots for more height and dimension
As a final touch to this card I distressed the 3rd layer with scissors on all four sides.
I hope you have enjoyed my card making today.

Happy Scrapping, Veronica (Kitsnbitscraps)
