Newton’s Nook Designs - Happy Retro Birthday

Hello everyone!

I am sharing a cute retro rainbow birthday card.  If you love bold colors, a touch of retro flair, and adorable critters, this card checks all the boxes! Today’s card I am featuring the  Retro Mix Toner Front cards, Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set and die along with a couple of other fun products.

Here is how I created my card.

The background I used some foil from my stash to bring some shine to the background.  I used Newton’s Nook Designs Retro Mix Toner Front cards to achieve that bright, multicolor foil effect. 

To coordinate the sentiment, I also used the solid black toner sheet to foil and die cut the shadow layer of the “Happy Birthday” in a gorgeous purple. This ties everything together while still letting the background shine.

For dimension, I die cut the “Happy Birthday” sentiment multiple times from white card stock and stacked them. This gives that nice, chipboard-like thickness without adding bulk.

Next, I stamped and colored the adorable pups from the Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set, and die cut them from the coordinating die. I used pop dots to pop the dogs up slightly to sit right over the sentiment, creating a cohesive focal point.

To keep the background from overwhelming the design, I added a piece of vellum cut with the Basic Frames Die Set. This layer:

To finish off my card I added a few rhinestones from my stash. They catch the light beautifully and echo the sparkle of the foiled background without competing with it.

Thank you so much for stopping by, please come back again soon.
