Celebrate
Good day, fellow crafters. It's Tamara once again, with a new post showcasing my latest card created using Blank Page Muse products! Today, I’m crafting a sparkly and fun celebration card to have ready in my stash. It's super easy to make but packs a visual punch. Let's get started!

To create this project, you will need the following:
Stamps or Stencil
- Intersection Criss Crossed Lines Stencil
- Sentiment of your choice (I chose one from my stash)
Paper
- (1) Sheet of Double-Sided Adhesive - 4.25" x 5.5"
- (1) Black Cardstock - 4.25" x 5.5"
- (1) White Cardstock - 4.25" x 5.5"
- (1) White A2 card base
Tools and Consumables
- Sticky mat (optional but very useful to hold work in place without using tape)
- Embossing folder (I chose one from my stash)
- Scissors
- Liquid glue
- Paper Trimmer
- Die-cut machine
- Gilding Flakes (I chose metallics)
- Flat-backed pearls or Sequence
- Dove bar soap or equivalent
- Ribbon
Process:
- Apply a generous coating of soap to the back of the Intersection Criss Crossed stencil to act as a protective barrier.
- Remove one side of the backing from the double-sided adhesive sheet, peeling slowly at a 45° angle to prevent folding.
- Save the removed backing for later use.
- Position the stencil, soap-coated side down, onto the exposed adhesive sheet and press firmly.
- Spread gilding flakes over the stencil and exposed adhesive areas.
- Use the saved backing like sandpaper to rub and break down the flakes until the surface is fully covered.
- Peel the stencil away from the adhesive sheet at a 45° angle for easy removal.
- Trim the gilding flake panel to 2.125" × 5.5".
- Trim the black cardstock to 2.125" × 5.5".
- Remove the backing from the gilding flake panel and adhere it to the A2 card base, peeling and sticking gradually for precise alignment.
- Cut a length of ribbon longer than the card’s width (or height, depending on placement), then use liquid glue to attach it with the ends wrapped behind the black cardstock, covering the seam between the gilding flake panel and the black cardstock as shown in the photo.
- Die-cut the sentiment from the white cardstock. An optional step for visual interest would be to include a shadow die cut or double-stacked sentiment for height.
- Add the sequence or flat-backed pearls for added interest if desired.
