Hello, Happy Friday! I am back today with a Birthday card using a mix of products but mostly 3 fabulous sets by the Greetery. These sets were gifted to me by a dear friend and fellow cardmaker and I finally took on the task of making a card with them. Now I wish I hadn’t waited so long to use them as I had a ball putting this together. I mixed a bit of Spellbinders Autumn Wonder in there as well, as I wanted the Birthday card to have a Fall vibe.
Details: There is not much to tell you about putting this card together. Basically cut out all the die cuts and added inks with blending brushes to make the images pop. Then I started with a black card base and built each window one at a time. Then when it came time to build the frame and acetate, I used another piece of 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 cardstock to guide me to keep it squared up and then adhered the acetate on the back. Added the closure and the hinges in gold mat cardstock along with my signature gold paper embellishments. The Happy Birthday fit perfectly on the tag that comes with the set. The front doesn’t open to touch the pieces inside but the cardbase opens normally.

It totally looked like a brilliant autumn curio cabinet to me, Nanc’, and then I saw the bottom photo with the acetate and now I see that it REALLY looks like a curio cabinet! Oh, the fun you will have filling those shelves as the seasons change! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

This is just fabulous, Nancy! The Curio Cabinet sets from The Greetery are some of my favorites, although I don’t own all of the pieces you’ve used. Your colors just pop, and the arrangement of the items couldn’t be more perfect.

What an amazing birthday card. I love the dimension and shading you achieved by inking up the die cuts. Great job. The acetate is the perfect finishing touch to your window. Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers ~ Anything Goes With Dies Challenge.
