Spring Birthday Card

March 11, 2014

ECD 11 Birthday_by_Candy_SpiegelHi, my name is Candy Spiegel and I am so excited to be a part of the first Elizabeth Craft Designs Design Team!

The first project I created is a card that uses ECD peel offs, Shimmer Sheetz, glitter and dies. It is perfect for a spring birthday.

I started by making a standard card with new paper from Studio Calico.

I added coordinating cardstock to the back side, cutting the panels just a little smaller to allow the patterned paper to show as a border.

I used the Katie Label Pivot Card die. It comes with the pivot die (the large one at the bottom) and several smaller labels to decorate your card.ECD Birthday_by_Candy_Spiegel

It is simple to use this die … you just place the center along the fold of your card and run it through your die-cutting machine. Then, you fold it the opposite way so it pivots.ECD4 Birthday_by_Candy_Spiegel

I used the Metal Adapter Plate along with the Katie label dies to cut Shimmer Sheetz.

Next, I turned ECD peel-off stickers into shimmery works of art. You can see how to do this, here.

And here are the Copic markers I used to color …

I attached the tulips with adhesive foam dots. I used the large happy birthday die to cut out the words. I added a few black pearls, as well.

And here is the front … the words are cut from the same sheet of paper.

    This is such a pretty card, and great tutorial. I cut into a Shimmer Sheet yesterday for the first time, so I loved seeing how you used them on the Katie Label Pivot.
