This birthday card for girls theme is classic black and white. If you wanted to make it more colourful then simply use coloured stamps for your images instead of the plain ones I have used here. The card is for a party theme which could also be used as a party invite.
Fold an A4 sheet of black card making card in half. Using a scalpel and ruler cut away approximately 2cms of the black card on all the outside edges.
Use a pair of scalloped scissors to create a border around the edge of the front of the card.
Cut a sheet of white card slightly smaller than the front of the card. I have used hammered card as it has a texture to it.
Select a few rubber stamps to use as the background. I have used a girly dress and shoes themed set of rubber stamps.
Next, use a black quick drying ink pad to stamp the images all over the white card. Place them randomly. You will need to place a sheet of paper underneath so that you can stamp over the edges, and at various angles.
It is down to personal choice if you want to emboss the images. I have used a quick drying ink pad and left them flat.
Now, find a piece of purple organza ribbon approximately 5-6cm thick. Tie a knot in the ribbon and place the ribbon around the white card sticking it down with scotch tape.
Then, place two black and white brads on one side of the ribbon. If you do not have any brads in your craft supplies you could also use buttons instead.
Use a rub on, or peel off sticker for the birthday cards wording. Place the wording onto white card that is the same as the background card.
Using a corner punch cut around the edges of the white card. Place the card onto black card and cut it out leaving a 1cm border around the edge.
Because the inside of this birthday greeting card is black you will need to make an insert using white paper so you can write who the card is to, and from.
I used a printer to print the insert, however you may use peel of stickers or rub ons.
To finish your birthday card for girls, place your card message on the front using 3d foam pads.
What an elegant card. I like it. Thank you for the totorial.
