How To Make a Birthday Card

 Hello, Stampers!

I have created a fun and easy birthday card. One of my New Year's resolutions is to be better at sending birthday cards. I don't need to get better at creating them, I do that. But the sending part.....

I've used the stamp set from Stampin' Up!, Art Gallery, before but this is such a beautiful, and versatile stamp set that I had to use it again. It is one of my favorites, for sure. 

Now is a great time to join Stampin' Up! because it is Sale-a-Bration time! For those of you who are not familiar with Sale-a-Bration, when you purchase $50 or $100 worth of product you get free stuff!!

 What I Used: 

• The base of the card is Gorgeous Grape. It is cut at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. 
• The mat is in Highland Heather and cut at 5 1/4 x 4.
• The image is on a piece of Whisper White cut at 3 7/8 x 5 1/8.
• Highland Heather ink
• Gorgeous Grape ink
• Garden Green ink
• Rhinestones
• Tombo Glue

What I Did:

• Gathered supplies needed from above.
• Stamped off before stamping the main flower image in Highland Heather.
• Stamped straight from the ink pad (Highland Heather) with the second floral stamp.
• Stamped the smaller image on the inside of the flower using Gorgeous Grape.
• Stamped the cluster of flowers by partially inking up the floral image with Highland Heather. (Do not stamp off first.)
• Stamped the leaf and stem of the floral cluster by partially inking up the stem and leaf only.
• Stamped "Happy Birthday" using Gorgeous Grape.
• Assembled the card by using Tombo glue.
• Added three rhinestones for dimension/interest to the right-hand corner.
