Birthday Floral Card

Happy Birthday Floral Card By Melinda
Hello crafty  friends,  I am back again! Today I am sharing this pretty birthday card I made for someone special.

I created all of the elements as SVG cut files and they are exclusively in the Pazzles Craft Room.



I started with cutting out the flower, leaf and wreath elements in white cardstock. I inked the edged of the flowers with my light pink ink. I then layered and staggered the pieces. I then turned to the leaves and inked them lightly with my pear ink. I wanted the elements to have just a touch of color.



I cut the wreath out two times and then layered them so the element would be just a bit stronger.


For the patterned paper I used some pretty paper from the DCWV Luxury Stack. For the pretty ornate frame element, I cut it out of pink cardstock and the bottom layer in white cardstock. I used some foam tape to give that layer a little extra dimension.


I then turned to my Pazzles Pen tool. I used my pink glitter gel pen and designed the diamond pattern on the top mat. Instead of “cutting” the pattern, I used my pen tool and “drew” the pattern. This made the stitch look I was after perfect. I wanted a very subtle pattern and having my Pazzles machine create it for me was the perfect alternative. I then used a font on my computer and my pen tool one more time to draw out my sentiment. While it wasn’t a single line font, I liked the look I achieved.


I did the same thing for the larger pink mat. I just created a smaller mat and used the stitch line. This made the stitching look consistent which is hard for me to do “freehand”.


Lastly I added a bow and some pearl accents and then assembled it all. I love the way it turned out.


Here is one last look at the completed card. It is a 5.5 x 5.5 sized card. I think the recipient is going to love it. I sure hope she does!

Hi SVG Card By Melinda Beltan

Hi, Hi,Hi dear crafty friends. Sorry I have been MIA. But I am back!  I have been doing a little crafting here and there and well today I wanted to share a card I recently created for the Pazzles craft room. Have you ever wanted to send a special someone a note just to say hi? Well here’s a card I created that would fit that bill.

I started by using the hi floral card file set I created exclusively for the Pazzles Craft Room. I used the DCWV Bouquet de Fleur Stack for all the patterned papers. I cut my flowers out in white cardstock. I wanted to give the card a clean look.


I added some silver sequins and little pearls to the centers of the flowers.


  I cut my bird pieces out of plain white paper. I then used my silver cat’s eye ink to ink the bird lightly.


This gave the die cut a little color and shimmer without too much color.


I then turned to my pen tool and used my silver stardust gelly roll pen and used it to draw my two letters. In the software you have the ability to “fill in” the letters by using the “engraving” function. I was able to “color in” the letters and then cut them out, easy peasy.



I then simply added the flowers and layered all my pieces. I added a sweet bow with some pretty May Arts organza ribbon to finish off the look. It came together very well and will make the perfect little “hi” for my dear friend.

Here is one last look at my completed card.
