A very quick and simple Birthday card today made for my son Tom’s birthday.
The self adhesive, chipboard letters came from B M Bargains and cost £1.49 a pack. I especially like the dotted letters as they lend themselves to being “encrusted” festively with clear flat back gems. I am already planning on using them in the same way as above, but using Christmas words like Merry and Bright, Jingle, and Holly with accompanying small embellishments.
But I digress …….I started by sticking the middle P in Happy on first, as centrally as I could and then added the other letters by working outwardly in a higgledy piggeldy line. I then did the same with T and H on the second line, aligning them roughly with the P above, if that makes sense, this means that I don’t have to worry too much about getting everything perfectly level and evenly spaced. Adding clusters of three doodled dots and clear star gems bring the design together. A quick card made in, I reckon, under 15 minutes.
This card looks great! I love the different colors, patterns and sizes of your letters. I need to keep this idea in mind, as its a fantastic one for making quick cards.
