aaahhhhh you need a birthday card and you need it quick because you forgot about your
[3]
friend's birthday hang with me I've got you covered all right let's get to these
[13]
quick birthday cards I'm using a variety of stamp sets from the essentials by
[17]
ellen line from Ellen Hudson some have birthday sentiments in them some do not
[21]
this is a bravi is that right brave a brave a brave a brothei I think it's
[30]
brave a a brave a note it's coffee stamp set so I went ahead and stamped that
[34]
little cappuccino cup and I'm adding some color with my alcohol markers used
[39]
Crayolas use pencils use whatever you've got just to give it a little bit of
[42]
color and shading so go along the outline of that cup with a grey marker
[46]
that sentiment it's pretty funny I forgot to it's your birthday anyway so
[52]
add a little something now you can leave it here and this card's good to go and
[55]
it probably took you 30 seconds to do or you can go a little extra step further
[60]
this set also has a coordinating die so I'm going to cut out the little
[62]
cappuccino cup and I'll end up adhering the cappuccino cup down flat so I'm
[68]
going to grab my little glue runner here and adhere that down flat so I'm
[72]
basically using the other panel as a placeholder so I know where to put the
[75]
cup and then I will pop that panel up with some foam dimension now this extra
[80]
step takes about a minute so if you literally have to run out the door you
[85]
can skip this but and since I was such in a hurry I took this stripe set also
[89]
from Ellen Hutson stamped it but I stamped it crooked I'm not starting over
[94]
so I'll show you how I fix that first I'm going to pop this panel up with some
[97]
foam dimension and then I'll adhere that right onto the card I love this foam
[103]
dimension it just peels right off you don't need to cut it with scissors or
[106]
anything you just tear it with your hands and you're good to go
[108]
so I'm popping that up and again my little stripes are somewhat crooked no
[113]
big whoop-dee-doo I took a marker and kind of straighten it out a little bit
[117]
it's not perfect but it works the design is cute right moving on moving on this
[121]
is everyday doodles also from Ellen and I'm just stamping some of the balloons
[126]
I'm using all Catherine puller inks here so I'm just kind of creating my own
[130]
pattern paper if you will with this one set our balloon stamp now this is
[136]
everyday doodle so there's a bunch of cute little images in there but also
[139]
solid stamps so you can fill them in instead of coloring which works for me
[145]
right especially if you're in a hurry so I'm taking the solid image that colors
[148]
and the balloons and just stamping them and a yellow and pink color also from
[153]
Katherine all of my supplies that I'm using will be linked below in the
[156]
description for you and also if you have a moment you're not subscribed I'd love
[161]
it if you would subscribe to my channel just because I'd love to have you you
[165]
know what I'm saying alright so I'm going and finishing this up why to bang
[170]
what a boom I've got this cute little background I took a black gel pen added
[174]
some squiggles or sprinkles or whatever you want to call them and then I will
[179]
take a sentiment that I also found from my Ellen Hutson stash stamp that with
[185]
white ink onto black cardstock heat embossing this card is complete Oh
[189]
complete day we're rocking and rolling two cards down so this video is to give
[195]
you different design ideas you can do for your last-minute birthday cards so
[200]
choose one wing it alter it how you know to your style this is a fun stamp set
[207]
it's called abstract paint strokes and this is one of the kind of blobs if you
[213]
will that gives you this beautiful watercolor look so I just inked it up
[216]
with that party dress ink pad sprayed a lot of water on it and slammed it down
[221]
onto my card I did that because I wanted a little bit of splatter so then I'll
[226]
stamp the happy birthday stamp set or it's not really a stamp set it's an
[230]
image from the stamp set and then I'll add a little dash lines around the
[234]
corner there I will flick on some black paint because this is you know kind of
[239]
goes with the abstract feeling of the stamp set and this card is done paint
[246]
ink whatever you can splatter it on there and get a really fun artistic look
[252]
for your card I think that's hilarious I wet that
[255]
stamp and just smacked it down on my card and I got all that splatter all
[261]
right I'm going to take the same two color inks that I've been using I'm
[264]
pressing that onto my glass surface there
[267]
wetting it with some regular water you could do some like Sparkle water like
[271]
perfect pearls if you want and then I'm just gonna paint on some stripes that is
[274]
just a flat edged paintbrush and then mixing the color just having fun so I've
[280]
created my own little plaid background simply stamped a sentiment there that
[284]
card is complete a but the background is really fun I think this was probably a
[290]
30 second card I'm going to take the same ink add a little bit more water and
[294]
press my card stock now this is water colored card stock by the way just to
[298]
get that beautiful wash of water color on the background I did dry this with my
[304]
heat tool cuz you know this is last-minute birthday cards you don't
[307]
have time to sit there and watch the paint dry then I've got this gorgeous
[310]
stamp set it's called mondo Sakura that image pretty much takes up the whole
[315]
cover of your card so this makes for great card-making I love that no masking
[321]
required that stamp already has it for you I stamped it on a background there
[325]
that I actually did not show on camera for some reason but I just took a paint
[328]
brush and just swiped all the color that was on my glass mat to create that
[332]
background here's the wash that we created by pressing the water colored
[336]
cardstock onto the glass mat again just adding a few sentiments you can mix them
[342]
I'm sure that you have birthday sentiments in your stash if not if you
[345]
have good handwriting you could just speed it along even faster by writing
[349]
your sentiment on there again this is the background that I did not show on
[352]
camera but it's a paint brush I just painted it like for real the background
[357]
and Here I am finishing off this sentiment here now if you have stamps in
[361]
your stash and you want to maybe stack them or whatever you can cut your
[366]
sentiments like birthday wishes this was a stamp set that was one image that was
[371]
one sentiment and I just cut it in half because I wanted to stack it so don't be
[376]
afraid to do that you can do it it's gonna be o.k because you can always
[381]
there clear stamps you could always mount them back onto your acrylic block
[384]
if you wanted so don't be afraid to get a good pair of scissors and cut your
[389]
stamps apart if you need to kind of change the way that they're lined up on
[394]
your card so this I'm just going in with a pen gold and black and just kind of
[399]
accentuating some of those lines adding dots just to change up the stamp set
[403]
just a little again not adding too much time just you know a minute or two just
[408]
to kind of jazz up this card a little bit and here's a picture of that one and
[413]
that is it I have given you six ideas for so I'm laughing right now that that
[417]
balloon card is upside down I'm just now noticing it on my photo but
[421]
anyway I've got you six cards for you designs that you can choose from
[425]
hopefully if you need a last-minute birthday card this will get you covered
[430]
right because we all forget always it's okay it's all right don't beat yourself
[436]
up over it I do it all the time I even have alerts on my calendar on my
[439]
phone and it tells me when people's birthdays are coming up I set alarms for
[442]
