Looking for a handmade birthday card idea that really dazzles? Use this Rose Cover Die and create a stunning paper creation!
Today’s project is from our designer, Lisa, who said, “There are so many fab cover dies in the shop from this month’s release! Lots of ways to use them and make a great background.” We agree. There are tons of fun new dies in the November Release, that you must check out. For now, Lisa is going to walk us through here design and how use used the Rose cover die for an easy birthday card that really wows!
- Die cut the 5748-01D Rose Cover Die from white cardstock.
- Die cut it a second time from pink cardstock (careful to save all of the pieces).
- Then I added foam tape strips to the back of the rose part of the cover die cut.
- Next I flipped it over and started adding back the floral pieces like a puzzle… the exposed foam tape from the top that showed through made it easy to adhere. I decided to fill in the rose only and popped the cover die cut over a green piece of cardstock.
- Die cut the 5749-01D Happy Birthday Die phrase from a pink metallic paper once and from white cardstock two more times and adhered them together, stacking them for dimension.
- Then I die cut the shadow for Happy Birthday from white cardstock and adhered the phrase to the shadow piece.
- I popped the assembled Happy Birthday sentiment onto the bottom of the panel.
- Next I cut some of the tiny flowers and leaves from the same pink and green as the rest of the card using dies from the new 5745D Ribbon Banners w/ Flowers Die and added a few to the sentiment piece.
- Finally just a few sequins and you have a cool and pretty simple card!
We are so impressed with how this card turned out. Cover Dies are such a fun way to be a little dramatic with our card backgrounds. It also looks like it took forever to make and not just one run through of a die cut machine. We love the giant Happy Birthday script font as well. You can find that die and more in the new release also. Be sure to pin this card for future inspiration and please continue to share our blog and products with your friends as we continue to grow this small business!
