My Clubhouse Birthday Card

Thought I would share with you my Clubhouse Birthday Card. The Clubhouse Bundle is perfect to create those hard to make masculine cards, especially for that golfer in your life! The demonstrator group I belong to are doing weekly sketch challenges to keep us busy during this crazy time. I thought to switch things up, I would create a masculine card even though the sketch (see below) had a flower image. That’s one thing I love about sketches! They give you inspiration and you can interpret it however you would like. Let’s get started.

Pressed Petals Card

4 Comments
My Pressed Petal Card
My Pressed Petal Card

Today I am sharing with you my beautiful Pressed Petals Card that I made for a friend’s birthday using the Pressed Petals Suite. I love how the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper has photographic images of real pressed petals. So, I thought it would be appropriate to have a piece of vellum overlay like you would when you pressed real flowers in a book.

For the beautiful flower, I used the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape to peel-and-stick flower petals together. What a unique and beautiful product! One tip is to use the Embossing Buddy on the back of the petals once you have created your flower. This will alleviate any stickiness that remains from the washi tape. I used the Perennial Essence Floral Centers for the centre of my flower, but I wanted it to match the centres of the flowers on the DSP. So, I dabbed it onto my Early Espresso Ink Pad to make it dark brown before adding it to my flower. A Mossy Meadow leaf die cut from the Wild Rose Dies completes the flower.

I couldn’t resist making a double bow with the Mossy Meadow Linen Thread from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack and some Linen Thread to string a leaf from the Bird Ballad Trinkets. A strip of the other washi tape from the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape and a piece of Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim line the top of the card. A scattering of pearls adds a nice finishing touch!
