Materials:

Instructions:

18 B-Day Card!

Hello :D! Recently was a friend's b-day, and I decided to make her a card. I got inspired from the card of HEIMLAGA in flickr. I think it turned out really well, so here I leave it to you, so that you can make it too! Enjoy!


Materials:
- A color paper (for the card).
- 2 patterned paper.
- White paper.
- Corrugated cardboard.
- Thread and needle.
- Sequins.
- Glitter.
- Black paint.
- Adhesive.
- Green lace.
- Red foam.

Instructions:
1)
Fold the color paper in two. Draw a cupcake (be sure that the drawing begins where the card is folded) and then cut the card.
2) Draw in the patterned papers the top of the cupcake (the cream). I did this a little smaller than the card it self, so that a paper border was left from the card. Do one smaller than the other.
3) Draw in the corrugated cardboard the bottom of the cupcake (the "paper") and then cut it.
4) Pass a brush with black paint softly into the corrugated cardboard, so as to give it a darker look. When dry, add some adhesive to it and then the glitter.
5) Take the "cream" you did with the patterned paper and make some perforations throughout the border. Then pass the thread doing backstitches. Then paste it to the card.
6) In white paper cut the b-day number (18 in this case). Then add sequins as shown in the picture. Paste the number to the card.
7) Make two foam strawberryi. To make the seeds I used yellow thread.
8) Use the green ribbon to make the strawberry leafs by pasting it in the back. Paste the strawberry in the card.
9) Finally write in white paper "Congratulations", cut it and paste it as shown in the picture. Hope you've liked it :D!


All the steps.


Here you have a clear example of where not to work! Remember: space is important!
