A Duo of Birthday Cards by April Guest Designer Mugdha Gujarathi

Hello Friends, Mugdha here. I can't believe that it's the fourth I monday of the month already. I really enjoyed making cards using Newton's nook products and sharing with you all. Today, I am going to share two cards, both of them are very different from each other!

I used Balloon shaker die for this card, you can use shaker dies in so many ways and not only for making shaker cards. I used a slimline panel of white cardstock and die cut out the big balloons from the Balloon Shaker Die Set, I also die cut the balloons of the vellum. I used polka dot pattern paper and adhered the white slimline panel on it, I then pasted the vellum balloons and stamped the sentiment "Happy Birthday" from Newton Celebrates stamp set. Lastly, adhered some sequins to finish off my card.

Here is my second card:

For this CAS masculine card, I used Birthday Roundabout stamp set. I stamped the beautiful image on black cardstock using versamark ink and heat embossed it with Ranger gold embossing powder and heat tool. I then die cut out the circle with the Circle Frames die set and adhered it on caramel brown cardstock using foam adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment "Happy birthday" on a strip of caramel brown paper and mounted it on the circle using foam adhesive. Lastly, I added some gold pearls to finish off my card.

I hope you like them.

Thank you so much for stopping by,
Mugdha
