Birthday Card with Laura

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a fun birthday card featuring the Cactus Hugs stamp set. Make sure to check the video at the end of this post for a step by step tutorial!

I started by doing some die cutting to create elements for my card base. I used the Darling Ribbon & Frames dies to cut some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. I then cut some Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Dotted Square Frame Die.

The images I used are part of the Cactus Hugs stamp set. To spice things up a little, I decided to do some no-line coloring with Illustrator markers on Neenah Desert storm cardstock.
Once I was done coloring, I die cut everything with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment on some more Neenah Desert Storm cardstock and trimmed a banner around it.
I finished off the card by adding a few Gold Foil Pearls and by mounting everything on a top folding A2 card base.
