Today I’m sharing a Birthday card for my sister-in-law that I made following a video from the Kit and Clowder – Bonus Class – Sept – Oct 2025 – Cozy Reading Colouring class by Alyce Keegan. My sister-in-law loves books and so I thought this would be the perfect card for her. I changed her hair colour to red which is different from the class to match my sister-in-law’s hair.

The base card was created to the size of 5.5″ x 5.5″ out of Hammermill – Premium 110 lb. cardstock. The large die cut pattern was die cut using a Cuttlebug and die from Hunkydory Moonstone – Floral Tile Frame and blue metallic paper from my stash. Then using pink paper from my stash, I cut another square to fit inside the larger die cut. I applied both of these directly to the the front of the card using liquid glue.

The image provided by Alyce was printed out with my HP Printer onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card using High Quality Grayscale and coloured in with Copic markers. Once I finished colouring the image, Waffle Flower Crafts – Nesting Squares were used to die cut the image with a Cuttlebug. The sentiment was cut from Paper Rose Studio – Happy Birthday Sentiment Sheets. The image and the sentiment were then popped up onto the card using U-Line double-sided foam tape. To finish it off, I used Spellbinders Color Essentials Gems – Crystal Mix. Prior to adding them to the card, I applied Copic colours to the gems to match the card.
