Big, Bold, and Gold Happy Birthday

I'm sharing another typographic card today, featuring the Concord & 9th Double Cut Alphabet die set. 


I went for a striking colour combination of black and white with gold for this card, and ended up making several of them. 

I die cut the letters for 'happy birthday' from the MFT Black and White basics paper pack. I love this paper pack which features only black and white graphic prints - no need to ration the black and white papers from other packs now!


I also die cut the letters from gold metallic card stock. I'll use the gold letter outlines for this card and can keep the rest of the letters for another card.

I used a cover die for the background, so I could add detail to the white card base, without adding anymore colour. Any cover dies would work well for this.


I arranged the letters on the card, adhering them with liquid glue. I decided against adding any finishing touches, as I wanted the letters to be the focus.


I think these cards work great for masculine birthdays, with the big bold sentiment taking centre stage.

Below is another example I made, with a slightly different slant on the same technique.


Have a lovely day,
Gemma

Autumn Leaves

There's a definite feeling of autumn in the air. I love the changing seasons and I'm ready for cosy jumpers and winter boots now!

I'm bringing that autumn feel to the blog today, with a card perfect for those fall birthdays.


On a piece of card, I blended on inks in autumnal colours. I then ran this through my die cutting machine with two leaves from the MFT Leafy Greenery set. 



On a card base, I used the Lil'inker Stitched Woodgrain cover die to add some subtle details. Then I adhered the leaves onto the card base.



I die cut a tag and embossed a sentiment in gold, then added some gold twine at the top. I used foam tape to add it to the card.

Thanks for joining me today,
Gemma
