Martini Birthday

This card is 4 1/2"x6 1/4." I used black cardstock for the base of the card. I then cut a piece of white cardstock at 4 1/4"x6." I stamped the martini glass image on it multiple times, then heat embossed it with clear embossing poweder. I used a sponge applicator to ink the cardstock with pearlescent orchid ink, by Tsukineko. I wrapped it with some polka dotted ribbon and adhered it to the card base. The martini glass is cut at 3 1/4" from Cuttin' Up. I cut the shadow piece in black, then the regular part in a pearlescent white cardstock. I cut the regular piece again in a pearlescent pink cardstock but just cut out the "drink" part of the glass. I embossed it with the Cuttlebug and the D'vine Swirls embossing folder. I used pop-dots to adhere it to the card. I tied a bow using some more polka dotted ribbon and adhered it to the stem of the martini glass. I used Cuttin' Up for the numbers as well. They are cut at 2," using black for the shadow and the pearlescent white for the regular cut. I then covered the white portion with star dust Stickles. I adhered it to the base of the card so that part of the numbers were under the martini glass. I stamped my sentiment in black ink on white cardstock. I then matted it with the pearlescent pink and black cardstocks. I used pop-dots to adhere it over the bottom of the martini glass.

I also finished the inside of the card. I cut some pearlescent pink cardstock at 4 1/4"x6" and some white cardstock at 4"x5 3/4." I stamped the martini glasses in the same pearlescent orchid ink that I used on the front.


I made this card for the following challenges:


BBTB2: numbers challenge


Celebrate the Occasion: any occasion, use polka dots


Whimsical Designs: anything goes


Perfect Sentiments: birthday, emboss resist technique
