So, if you’ve been following me the last few weeks, you’ll have heard that there are some new Catherine Pooler Inks! But in case you haven’t’ then you’re in luck as I have created another easy card project with the new Catherine Pooler Date Night inks! I’ve used 3 of the new inks to create this easy fun striped birthday card for a little girl! I think this is perfect though for any age who loves some pinks/purples and a little bit of shine!

What’s more this card features as part of a fun giveaway over on Instagram where you could one of 8 $25 gift cards from Catherine Pooler Designs in celebration of the inks! So make sure you hop over there to enter!

striped birthday card for a little girl: creating the colour!
To start off, trim some cardstock into 0.25″ wide and ensure they are long enough for the card size you wish to make. Here I have made a slimline card at 8.5″ by 3.75″. To start colouring the strips, use the direct to paper method by dragging the strip over the top of the ink pad to coat the card.

For this card, I have used Pucker up, Serenade and Drive-in. To add a little sparkle and shine, add some Halo embossing glitter from Catherine Pooler with WOW! Embossing powder. Just add a touch of embossing ink to the bottom of the strip and cover with the embossing glitter before heat setting.

striped birthday card for a little girl: assembling the card
To turn this into a card, foam mount the strips of card onto a white card panel at varying lengths to give an interesting design and pattern to the card. In addition, die-cut and layer up the happy word from the Happy Thanks word die from Catherine Pooler designs and mount onto the front of the card.

To finish off the sentiment, heat emboss the birthday from the Kudos To You stamp set and mount onto the front. Lastly, finish off with a few Startlight sequins from Lucy’s cards.
