Celebrating You!

Hi friends! A big ol’ Happy Friday – I hope you’ve had an amazing week! I have another fun project to share for ScrapbookingStore, created with the awesome August 2024 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. Everybody needs birthday cards in their stash and with a birthday-themed kit, it can’t be any easier. I created a mini bendi card which is fun to make and very easy. I’ve made several of these over the years, having originally seen THESE instructions in a Splitcoast Stampers newsletter back in 2020. I changed a few of the measurements and instructions and have posted them in the Freebies section of my blog HERE if you’d like to learn how to make it. I used several coordinating papers and lots of stickers from the collection, along with glitter stickers and chipboard bits from the upgrades.

I cut the flat card base and two dimensional panels from CutCardStock Lessebo Sunset Orange cardstock along with layering panels for each from three coordinating prints in the collection. I ‘went to town’ decorating each panel with stickers from the sticker sheet along with glitter stickers and chipboard bits from the upgrades.

I popped up the glittered gifts on the right side with Kool Tac clear foam pads. I haven’t used these clear foam pads in forever and was afraid they’d be dried out, but they weren’t. I’m not even sure this company is still around. But these work very well under see-through elements. The stars on the left side of the bottom strip are chipboard and provide some fun texture.

Here’s a slight overhead shot so you can see the construction; this card is an A2 size and folds flat for mailing. I adhered two Solar White panels on the back which I embellished with sentiment and glitter stickers.
