Today’s tutorial is for a Merriest gold birthday card. I’m using the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder again to create another birthday card. This one has a darker, richer look than my Merriest Summer birthday card.

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the Merriest gold birthday card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own.

Colour Combo

The colour combo mixes Blackberry Bliss, Metallic Gold and Fresh Freesia.

Merriest gold birthday card

Start with an A6 portrait card of Blackberry Bliss. Punch the corners of the card base with the curved corner of the Detailed Trio. Die cut and emboss Gold Shimmer Vellum with the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder. Using Blackberry Bliss ink, stamp a sentiment from the Happiest of Birthdays set onto a panel of Fresh Freesia. Adhere this direct to a stitched rectangle centre, die cut from Blackberry Bliss. Pop this up in the centre of the embossed shimmer vellum with dimensionals. Adhere the layers direct to the card front.

Tie a bow of 3/8″ Gold Shimmer Ribbon and adhere below the sentiment. Die cut two flowers, one each from Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia card using the smallest flower dies from the Merriest Frames Hybrid Embossing Folder set. Adhere the two flowers together, offsetting and shaping the petals and adhere below the bow. Add a centre to the flower with a Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot. Finish with some Loose Flower Flourishes.
