Happy 70! – Handmade Card

Hi friends,

My brother-in-law just turned 70 – so of course he needed a special card to celebrate the day!

I used the Balloon Party Background stamp from Unity Stamp Company to create the base of the card. I stamped the balloons with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white card stock and colored it with Copic Markers. I die cut the piece using the Scallops & Rectangles Nesting Dies and attached it to blue card stock. The piece is then attached to a white card.

Just a tip for stamping larger stamps. I like to use my Misti Stamping Tool. Then if it doesn’t quite stamp evenly, you can just re-ink the stamp and stamp it again. I also love using this Stamp Pressure Tool with my Misti.

I stamped the word “happy” from the Heart of Autumn stamp set from Unity Stamp Company with black ink on yellow card stock. I die cut the word using the matching die set. Using 2 inch number dies, I die cut “70” from blue card stock. Both “happy” and “70” are attached to the card with foam tape.
