A Holey Moley Birthday!

May 21, 2024 1 Comment

This card was created with the Little Things and Dachshunds (It's Your BIRTHDAY). I stamped the moles using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80 lb. cardstock.

With meticulous care, I colored the adorable moles using copic markers E59, E57, E47, E23, and E13. For the soil, I used the same colors and added the E79 for a darker tone. I added some R20 for the cheeks, each stroke a testament to the attention to detail, and added little white highlights with my white gel pen.

For the background, I used Stampin Up Sunny Days paper and Bazzill Julep Embossed paper. I cut it out using a Whimsy Slimline Marquee Die.

I used Lawn Fawn's Henry's ABCs for the sentiment, Holey Moley.

I used some grey cardstock and white cardstock. I lightly blended Cracked Pistachio to the bottom of the white letters. After they were layered and added to the card, I added StarDust Stickles. I heat-embossed the It's Your Birthday sentiment in white on the same gray paper and cut it out with a die from my stash. As a finishing touch I added sparkles to the ends of the bottom sentiment using Sparkles by Close To My Heart.

I really enjoyed making this card. I hope you enjoyed it too. I have 3 more ideas to complete! Stay tuned!

How cute are these little moles?! Jamie’s colouring and attention to detail make this card. The two-tone colours on the sentiment with the clear Stickles looks amazing. The “wonky” die cut around the moles is perfect for showcasing Gerda’s sweet little critters. Well done, Jamie!
