Today’s tutorial is for a heart pearls birthday card. This project includes a sneak peek of the Adorable Owls stamp set that we have coming up for you in January. Some projects between now and 5 January may only include one sneak peek, others may have more, so please stop by regularly to check.

The Adorable Owls set contains three cute owl images and three sentiments. It will be free with a £45 purchase during Sale-a-bration. Here I’m mixing it with the Happy Forest Friends DSP and the Heart Pearls, both of which are already available in the Annual Catalogue.

In the tutorial below, I take you step by step through creating the heart pearls birthday card. I also have a supply list for purchasing anything you don’t already own (with the exception of the Adorable Owls stamp set which will be available from 5 January).

Colour Combo

This colour combo mixes Mint Macaron, Gray Granite and Pumpkin Pie.

Heart pearls birthday card

Start with an A6 portrait card of Mint Macaron. Cut a card front layer (5-1/2″ x 3-7/8″) of Pumpkin Pie card and adhere centrally, direct to the card front. Cut a card front layer (5-1/4″ x 3-5/8″) of Happy Forest Friends DSP. Adhere centrally, direct to the card front. Using Gray Granite ink, stamp the owl with the party hat onto a scrap of Basic White card. Colour with a mix of Gray Granite, Mint Macaron and Pumpkin Pie Blends. Fussy cut out and run the dark Gray Granite Blend around all cut edges to remove any white edges caused by the fussy cutting.

Using Memento Black ink, stamp a sentiment from the Adorable Owls set onto a narrow strip of Basic White card. Mat onto Mint Macaron card and pop up on the card front with dimensionals. Pop the coloured owl up on the base of the DSP layer with more dimensionals. Finish with a trio of Heart Pearls, one on the sentiment, one at the top of the party hat and one between the wings.

Heart pearls birthday card insert

On the Basic White insert, using Memento Black ink, stamp a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments set. Stamp another sentiment from the Adorable Owls set beneath the birthday sentiment, with the same ink. Add a flying owl from the set in the top right corner of the insert, using Gray Granite ink.

Thanks for stopping by.
