Bridge the Gap with Alpha Dies on a CAS Happy Birthday Card! [2024/212]

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Yesssss! There’s something about apertures and embossed paper that really capture my heart. Time to go make this design! Thanks so much, Natalie. 💕

[@nbcascards]

You're very welcome. Thanks for watching! ❤️

[@hazelkinvig-paul8231]

Love this idea Natalie! I hope your mum is doing well, and that you have a good week! TFS 👍💖

I love this card! It's perfect. xxx💖💖💖

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Christine! x

[@matthewmacarthur2305]

Great card! I like the mix off the larger alpha die cuts & the smaller birthday piece. Good idea with the embossed panel peeking out from behind, too. In America the postage goes up on a card if it's more than 1 oz or over 1/4 inch thick. Square cards always cost more, too. TFS -Sarah

Lovely card, it would work with all colours too, thanks for sharing.

[@nbcascards]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching! ❤️🙏

[@1stLucySchmidt]

Before I got some alphabet dies I used letter stickers I had lying around and just doubled them up. This a great layout for so many occasions. Even the guys like the simplicity, but I use a different embossing folder for them.😉 Thanks for the reminder that I need to resurrect this technique.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement. 👍

A very pretty card layout! I love using embossing folders and have amassed quite a few. I will try using a portion of one to create something similar to your card. Thanks! 🩷

Beautiful, as always. I love the Salt Water Taffy colour, so pretty. I have a love/hate relationship with GA!! Hope Mum is well. I am off to the hospital later. My Mum is getting there, just a slow process. Not sure when she will be back home, but hopefully, soon xx

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! ❤️

[@amandajill3625]

Hello Natalie, are all your card 6 x 4 or are they sometimes 5 x 7…. I’ve just ordered some cards 5 x7 and they look bigger than I thought…. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂 xxx

[@nbcascards]

I mostly do 4x6, but I also do 5x5 and 5x7 plus a few odd sizes too.
