I have joined a group sometime last year, where all the members can make birthday cards for other members who's birthday are at that month. These are the cards that I've made for my crafty friends. Sending birthday cards to crafty friends and receiving birthday cards from your crafty friends is awesome.  Let me tell you, this is as much fun as you can get. 

The details

I’ve decided to use Hero Arts monthly hero kit, February kit, for birthday card. I absolutely love this kit, you can make many different cards. First, I die cut a paper and stamp the newspaper background on the front and the top portion of the paper to create newspaper-like wrapping paper for the bouquet. Second, embossing the happy birthday sentiment with white embossing powder onto black card stock and then die cut it into sentiment flag. Finally, die cut some bows for the decoration.

For the bouquet, I've die cut the flowers and leaves using color cardstock then applied the detail with sponge and ink. After that, simply glue the flower to the stem. The rest is easy assembly, in no time the bouquet is ready. Finally, I've made some background A2 cardstock using stencil and Nuvo expanding mousse. The texture definitely adds some dimensions and interest to the card.  

I am very please with the outcome. I hope my friends will like them as well.

第二十場的ATC交換題目是熊熊，當下是想到習維尼😂不過不是我的菜所以就想些別的，說到熊印章我也不少但要走可愛風還是經典風，就讓我考慮了很久🤔後來是在路上看到櫥窗展示擺了一隻泰迪熊🧸才決定就是他啦！最經典的泰迪熊～

這個就是我看到的櫥窗展示，是不是跟我做的蠻接近的XD 我希望製造出一張好像是貼紙貼在紙上的感覺，如果説先上色再剪下來貼上去也是可以有貼紙的感覺，但我希望是有貼紙的亮面材質感，我應該怎麼做呢？繼續看下去吧⋯⋯

這次使用Stampin up baby bear 章組，層次蓋印的方式來處理泰迪熊的絨毛，第一層使用深咖啡色把深色影子先勾出來，再用淺色打光一下～

最後面積最大的章本來應該是用更淺的顏色蓋印，我改成蓋浮水印台加透明凸粉，再使用熱風槍燙凸整隻泰迪熊

利用Emboss resist 這樣子泰迪熊就看起來像亮面材質了，但是還不夠立體，emboss resist的好處就是燙凸之下的圖案會被保護，外面做什麼都不會被影響，決定使用格子型版刷色，讓整體看起來更經典，刷完之後再用乾布或乾紙巾將泰迪熊擦乾淨，顏色很自然地從燙凸表面去除。之後再把事先蓋印及剪好的紅色緞帶和字句放上去就完成囉！做完之後還真有點捨不得送出去，還好有多留給自己，收到的人希望你也喜歡。💕
