Hello my lovelies! How was your Valentine's Day?! I hope you got lots of chocolates and some flowers too! We are pretty low key about Valentine's Day around here and we'll go out to dinner this weekend to celebrate LOVE! Can't wait to go out! I have something fun to share with you today! It's my second project I made with the brand new, beautiful 2023 February/Birthday new release from Pretty Pink Posh! Remember last week there was a big blog hop to celebrate the new release? Well, this week is the Instagram Hop portion of the new release! So...if you have Instagram, be sure to check out the hop there, and leave comments on the posts for more chances to win some prizes! I always like to post my card on my blog too. Today's card is a very colorful and festive birthday wish...in a mug!! Candles, balloons, stars...and coffee! You know this is right up my alley! The new release is so great - I hope you've had a chance to look at it all. We always need more birthday card ideas and supplies, right?! You can shop the NEW RELEASE here!
My finished card is a white A2 card base and I covered it with soft pink gingham paper. I layered white paper with ink blending, and then my mug full of birthday surprises!
I am featuring the brand new Birthday Mug Dies that are a great addition to the mug series! This new set is full of everything for birthdays and parties. I didn't even use all the items! I used a bright color palette to look like a party - yellow, pink, aqua and lime green. So festive and cheerful.
I die cut the mug from aqua cardstock and then inked it with distress ink and a blender brush in a darker shade to add shadow and interest. The sentiments are from two new birthday sentiment items. I really like to combine sentiments in this way!
I die cut all the pieces out and used Copic Markers and Distress Inks to add shading. I also used a white gel pen and lots of glitter!! I used the brand new Layered Party Hats Stencils (I used just the stars stencil from the set) to stencil on some stars in the background. I ink blended just the top of that wonky rectangle too.
All the elements were attached to the card with foam tape so they pop off the paper.
Seriously, everything is SO MUCH FUN and so happy. I could make birthday cards all day long with the new release. Make a WISH!
Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check out the big Instagram Hop for Pretty Pink Posh today!! Wishing you a blessed day full of fun and crafting! XO
