Eclipse Birthday Card Step-by-Step Tutorial:
Let's start by stamping the cupcake tops and cupcake bottoms onto your chosen cardstock. Mount the cupcake stamps onto an acrylic block (or stamp positioning tool) and press it firmly onto the cardstock using a suitable ink pad.
Next, select a cloud stencil and a grass stencil along with your favorite distress oxide inks to create background. Once you have the background inked up you can take a nesting die to cut out the center of the panel. This can be any shape. I picked a set of deckled edge rectangles to cut out mine.
Now, it's time to add some color using the Ohuhu Honolulu Brush Markers. Take your time coloring the cupcake and wrappers, blending colors for a vibrant finish.
Ohuhu Color Combinations
Strawberry/cherry icing - RV180, RV160
Cherries - RV240, RV200, RV180, & RV160
Flowers - RV200, RV180, & RV160
Blueberry Ganache - PB5, PB4, PB3, & PB2
Blueberries - PB3, PB2
Purple Icing - V320, V270, V250, & V230
Lavender Icing - V250, V230
Ribbon - V320, V270, & V250
Cupcake Wrappers - CG070, CG5, CG050, & CG2
Once the coloring is complete, cut out the cupcakes and wrappers with either the matching Cupcake Die or by fussy cutting each. Attach the cupcake tops to the wrappers.
Now attach the outside frame to the card base with liquid adhesive. Place your center panel in a stamp positioning tool (or use an acrylic block) to stamp the sentiment. Then place foam tape in the center of the card base and attach center panel.
Make sure everything is securely attached and aligned before displaying or gifting your handmade creation. With the eclipse effect in place, it's time to add any finishing touches to your card. Consider adding embellishments or sentiments to personalize the design further.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and feel inspired to create your own Eclipse Birthday Cards using the Build a Cupcake Stamp Set and Ohuhu Honolulu Brush Markers. Remember, crafting is all about expressing yourself and having fun, so don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and techniques.
