Doodlebugs – Happy Birthday with Hot Foil and Stenciled Background

Welcome to another Monday where I’m over on the Doodlebugs blog sharing how to mix and match your companies! Today I have Mama Elephant stamps and dies with Spellbinders hot foil plates and coordinating stencil set! This card was super fun to create!

I started by hot foiling the Spellbinders Geometric Diamond plate with silver foil on white cardstock. Then I went to town with Lawn Fawn dye inks and blending brushes, using the coordinating stencil set to ink up the whole panel. I chose warm, summery colors today. Aren’t they pretty?!? Then I trimmed the panel down to 4×5.25 inches.

Next, I die cut the Mama Elephant Big Happy Birthday from white cardstock 3 times and used liquid glue to adhere the layers. Then, I chose 3 different kitties from the Mama Elephant Little Agenda Cat and colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

To put it all together, I added the foiled panel with foam tape to a white card base. Then liquid glue to adhere the sentiment die cuts and finally foam squares for those cute kitties!

For finishing touches I simply added stardust Stickles to the pink parts of each kitty – the balloon, shirt and party hat.
