It takes just a few minutes to create this card and it is spectacular. Left standing on a table, it Grabs the attention of any passer by. Photos of this card don’t do it justice. Below, I’ll share a list of supplies I used to make this card along with my free tutorial. You’re not going to believe how simple it is to make professional quality greeting cards when you have the proper tools and supplies. Don’t forget to SAVE this PIN so you can refer to it later.

SUPPLIES I USED TO MAKE THIS CARD:

LET’S GET KRAFTY

Right, so grab up all of your supplies and ready your hot foil machine along with your die cutting machine.

Trim your pink card stock to 6 x 9” and score the 9” side at 4.5”. Fold and burnish the score line to create the base of the card. This will measure 4.5 x 6”. I really wanted to showcase all of these beautiful candles. I use a 5 x 7” envelope to mail this size of card.

Take a piece of turquoise foiled card stock and trim it to 4.25 x 5.75” and emboss with the “Hammered Metal” 3D embossing folder. This comes out beautifully!

Take the larger piece of white card stock and use the multicolored foil and your candles hot foil plate to Hot Foil the candles onto the white card stock. Use the stitched rectangle die to die cut that gorgeous candle design. Alternatively, use a paper trimmer to trim the rectangle for the candles as seen in the photo. Set this aside. Now, hot foil the “Happy Birthday” sentiment using the same foil. If you are unfamiliar with using a hot foil machine and wish to see what’s what with that, here is a link to a Spellbinders video.

It’s time to assemble this impressive card! Adhere the turquoise embossed piece to the pink card base. Adhere the hot foiled candles rectangular piece to the embossed piece on the card front. Then fussy cut the “Happy Birthday” sentiment and adhere it straight onto the middle of the candles.

Last but not least create an inside greeting by trimming a piece of card or printer paper to 4.25 x 5.75” and you can stamp your greeting and adhere to the inside of the card OR do as I did with this card and create a message on your computer to print out and then trim to size. For this card I created the message, “ Don’t Count the Candles, Just Enjoy the Glow” and “Happy Birthday. ! This way you can personalize the card for your recipient. They will love it!

Thank you for joining me today with this very bright and beautiful birthday card! It comes out looking fabulous! It really WOWS all who see it thanks to hot foiling and the foiled card stock that was embossed. The hot foil plate, “so many candles”, can be used to make many different birthday cards. I’m thinking black and gold, red and gold, blue and silver etc. There are many colors of foil for hot foiling including pastels so you can really personalize this card for anyone. I hope this make has inspired you today. Take this idea and make it your own and always remember to Keep it Krafty! Until next time, Bye Bye!
