Hi there everyone! Have you had a chance to look at all the amazing new Simon Hurley create. products that were just released? I love that the theme is birthdays, but also that everything can be used for any type of celebration. Let’s get into the card!

Step 1: Trim a piece of Stark White Cardstock down to 4 ¼” x 5 ½” and blend Slippery When Wet Stellar Ink all over the first Cue the Confetti stencil, using a Blending Brush.

Step 2: Grab the new Buzzkill Stellar Ink and blend that over the second Cue the Confetti stencil using a Blending Brush.

Step 3: For the final Cue the Confetti stencil, use a Silicone Paste Spreader to spread High Tide Astro Paste over the panel. Set that aside to dry.

Step 4: Pick a couple of numbers from the Number Balloons stamp set and stamp them onto Stark White cardstock using the Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART Stay-tion and the Wendy Vecchi MAKE ART Perfect Stamp Positioner Set, along with Red Flag Stellar Ink.

Step 5: Don’t move the stamp positioner or the paper. Brush some Woof! Stellar Ink onto the edges of the numbers using the Small Blending Brush. Stamp over the images to get a more shaded edge.

Step 6: Die cut the stamped numbers and die cut the balloon strings from colored cardstock.

Step 7: Using the word dies from the Snappy Birthday dies, die cut the words from Stark White cardstock and the word shadows from black cardstock. Glue the words onto the shadows.

Step 8: Assemble the card using glue and Clear Foam Double Stick Tape.
