My grand-daughter Quinn’s second birthday was yesterday and I made a special little card for her based on a couple ideas I saw on Pinterest! Here’s the birthday girl! She is just SO precious!
And here is the card I made! Her mom likes to have her hair up in pigtails a lot!
Here are the details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Pink Pirouette, folded in half.
- On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Watermelon Wonder cardstock, embossed with the Confetti Embossing Folder.
- Her face is the larger Layering Circle cut from some retired Blush Blossom cardstock.
- Her hair is the same size Layering Circle with Soft Suede cardstock, cut almost in half, them trimmed for some “bangs” and adhered to the top of the face circle.
- The pigtails were 1/2 x 3″ strips of Soft Suede cardstock, cut in small strips (leave about 1/2″ uncut to adhere behind her head). Curl with bone folder.
- Add two small flowers punched from In Colors Pattern DSP in the Watermelon Wonder color.
- Cut a smaller Layering circle from Blush Blossom for her “arms”, then I used the retired 2-3/8″ Circle Circle to cut her polka dot dress, trimming away the sides on an angle. (I didn’t even think about the scalloped Layering Circles until I was already finished…but those would work…use the about the size of the head!)
- Adhere dress and head to the base of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut two Black Eyes and 2 small white highlights with the Cookie Cutter Builder Punch and nose with Blush Blossom, add to face.
- Sponge Blushing Bride Ink for cheeks with Sponge Dauber.
- Hand draw mouth with Basic Black Marker.
- Add Pearls to hair bows and top of dress.
- Stamp Happy Birthday from Confetti Celebrations with Memento Black Ink, punch with the Classic Label punch. Add to front of card.
- Cut the 2 from retired File Tabs Framelits from Silver Glimmer Paper and adhere to card.
I think this turned out SUPER cute and love how easy it was to personalize with her hair color and birthday!
