Birthday Shark Card

Posted on May 29, 2022 by Laura Stark

A few weeks ago, I was browsing card Instagram, and I came across a fantastic make by @poppy_and_thistle_design. She’d done a great play on Baby Shark, which my almost three year old loves.  So, I shamelessly copied her idea and created my own Birthday Shark card for my daughter’s 3rd birthday.  I used the same stamp sets as Poppy and Thistle but put my own twist on it.  You can see how I made it below.

Supplies I Used

  • Lawn Fawn Duh Nuh stamp set
  • My Favorite Things Sharky Sentiments stamp set
  • Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Dies
  • Heffy Doodle Circle Masquerade stencil
  • Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide
  • Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide
  • Snow Leopard White Crafting Card
  • Lawn Fawn Glue Pen
  • Crafters Companion tape pen
  • Lawn Fawn Rainforest Ink Pad
  • Memento Black Ink Pad
  • Glossy Accents
  • Copic Sketch Markers
  • Tonic Studios A2 Card and Envelope Blanks set

Making the Card

To create my ‘Birthday Shark’ card, I started off by die cutting one rectangle using the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle die.  I then lined up the Heffy Doodle Circle Masquerade stencil and blended Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxides to create the sea.  I then stamped the ‘Birthday Shark’ sentiment onto the card base using Memento Black ink.

Next, I stamped the shark and the fish from the Lawn Fawn Duh Nuh stamp set onto some Snow Leopard White Crafting Card using Memento Black ink.  I coloured these in using my Copic Sketch markers and glued them onto the card using a Lawn Fawn glue pen.

Finally, I stamped the bubble stamp from the Duh Nuh stamp set directly onto the ink blended background using Lawn Fawn Rainforest ink.  I then added glossy accents to this to give the impression of bubbles.  Once this was dry, I used my Crafters Companion tape pen to attach my design to my card base.

I finished the card by stamping another sentiment from the ‘Sharky Sentiments’ kit into the middle of my card: It’s Cake Chomping Time.

This is a clean and simple card for me and I’m really happy with how it turned out.  I hope my daughter likes it.
