Tutorial for quick Silver birthday card

April 3, 2023

Today’s tutorial is for a quick silver birthday card. We’re combining silver patterns of DSP with silver ribbon and then adding a simple splash of colour.

Each week over on my Facebook page (please pop over and Like or Follow) I choose a product pick of the week to feature. This week, it’s the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack. This isn’t available in any catalogue – it’s an online exclusive. I’ll have tutorials for you this week, that share different ideas for using these shiny narrow ribbons.

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

Start with an A6 portrait card of Smoky Slate. Cut a card front layer (3-7/8″ x 5-1/2″) of Basic White card. Cut a (3-5/8″ x 2-1/4″) panel of one silver pattern of Like An Animal Specialty DSP to the top of the Basic White layer, keeping the top and side margins even. Adhere a (3-5/8″ x 3″) panel of another silver pattern of Like An Animal Specialty DSP to the base of the Basic White layer, keeping the bottom and side margins even. Wrap Silver 1/8″ Trim (from the Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack) around the layers over the join in the DSP and adhere on the reverse. Adhere the layers centrally, direct to the card front.

Using Melon Mambo ink, stamp a sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set onto a scrap of Basic White card. Punch out with the plain oval from the double oval punch. Punch a scalloped oval from Smoky Slate card. Adhere the stamped plain oval direct to the scalloped oval. Pop the sentiment up on the card front with dimensionals. Finish with a trio of (Melon Mambo) Glossy Dots.

Here’s a short video showing how this quick card comes together. Please subscribe to my Youtube channel to see my quick cards and quick tips each week.
