Welcome to this month’s Ink, Stamp, Share Showcase Blog Hop

For my showcase blog hop this month I thought I would show you the Happy 50th Birthday Block Card that I made for a very special friend for her 50th birthday this month.

How to make the Happy 50th Birthday Block Card

I started by cutting and scoring the card base using the template below onto Basic White Thick card stock.

Next I cut the mat layers using Mint Macaron card stock. I then cut the Hand Penned DSP to fit the mat layers before adding to the mat layers. Then I stuck them onto the card base.

Next I stamped the matching flower image and stamped the matching solid infill images using Mint Macaron and Cinnamon Cider ink before die cutting it out. I then cut two rectangles of Cinnamon Cider card stock and stuck the die cut image onto one of them before sticking it to the left hand side of the card.

I then die cut the number 50 out of Mint Macaron card stock using the Playful Alphabet dies. To add some texture to the numbers I embossed them using the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder. Then i stuck them onto the remaining Cinnamon Cider card stock rectangle. Next I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set using Black Memento ink. I then stuck this onto the right hand side of the card base.

How to make the back panel

For the panel on the back of the card I cut a mat layer using Mint Macaron card stock and a mat layer using Basic White card stock.

On the Basic White mat layer I stamped the flower image again. I then stamped the infill solid images using Mint Macaron and Cinnamon Cider ink as before. Then I stuck this to the back panel of the card base.

To finish off the card I added some Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my Happy 50th Birthday Block Card that I made for my friend’s 50th birthday. I know she loved it and was really impressed with it as was her family. If you would like the full tutorial to make this card then it is available free with a £25.00 minimum order this month.
