Watercolor Birthday Card and a Pillow Box








Hey everybody,
for some reason I love matching birthday sets. A cute card with a matching box for a small gift are always a fun idea. Yesterday, I had the chance to give away this summer set.


Before I used the Intricate Tribal Florals Thinlits to create these pretty flowers, I prepared watercolor paper with some paint. Just a little tipp: use a lot of water and let the color drop into it! So the color can swim wherever it wants to.

And use the magnetic platform for die cutting! It´s just awesome that your thinlits stay were you put them on and don´t slide away. ;)


Do you like this set? Tell me what you think about it. :)

List of supplies I used:
Sizzix Big Shot Plus Starter Kit (White & Gray) #660515
Sizzix Thinlits Die Set 5PK - Intricate Tribal Florals
Sizzix Accessory - Cutting Pads, Standard, 1 Pair (Mint)
Sizzix Accessory - Standard Magnetic Platform for Wafer-Thin Dies
Sizzix Pillow Boxes
Watercolor paper and paint, brushes
Light green cardstock and vellum
Heat tool and white embossing powder, versamark stamp pad

Have a nice weekend and a lot of sun in your life! :)

Happy Birthday Card by Gerry van Gent

Happy Sunday Sizzix friends!
Today I am sharing a card my daughter and I created for a friend of hers.
We used the Free Paper Downloads "Colour Your Own Papers" and
the New paper punch by Tim Holtz.
660163 Sizzix Paper Punch Bow, Medium

*       *       *

Before I adhered the cupcake I gave it to my daughter 
to colour it. She chose the colours herself and I matched with  
a coordinating double card. 
I cut carefully the top part of the cherry so when glued 
it will be on top of the card. I added two extra leaves -
- you will find a branch with a heart on the Free Paper Downloads.

I cut carefully the top phrase "Happy Birthday"
and gave it to my daughter to colour it in.

 Then I simply adhered it under the cupcake.
I used the two hearts for balloons. 

I added a punched bow for a fun touch.
