SHOW SIDEBAR
Birthday Swissies!

Hey all!! Happy Friday!! Cristena here with you today to show you a fun Shaker Birthday card!  I don't know about you but I am in serious need of some birthday cards and we are only a couple months into 2022.  I wanted to use these super cute Birthday Swissies Clear Stamp Set for a fun card. 

 

 

I actually used the mirror image/reverse stamping technique for the little Swissie holding the cupcakes. I wanted her body closest to the sentiment and center of the card. It just seemed more balanced to me that way.  You can find my video for the mirror image/reverse stamping technique on YouTube if you have not seen it yet. 

 

 

 

 

I stacked 6 of the Pool Party cardstock of the Happy and 2 of the Whisper White cardstock. By the time I was done gluing it all together it was so thick but super fun!  I thought the large Birthday would be super cute just stamped and fussy cut out for the birthday portion of the sentiment.

 


While wanting to do something fun, I didn't want to take any of the attention away from the girls or the sentiment. That is when I decided to make it a shaker card. I just did a small shaker bit behind using a slimline rectangle cut. It was exactly what I was wanting! 

 

 

You can see how I colored these cute Birthday Swissies in my Copic coloring video on YouTube.

    Adorable card! Great idea to reverse stamp Ms. Cupcakes to fit your design better. I need to watch that video because I have never done that, thanks for the link!
