Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing my Game On Birthday Card using the Plumber Brothers and Company by Paper Nest Dolls for my Design Team Inspiration Card. This Set comes with 14 digital stamps, and I used 8 of them on my card.
The Details of My Game On Birthday Card
Everyone loves the classic Mario Brothers video game! For my card, I wanted to create their world using the different elements that they must encounter. So, I coloured my stamps with my Copic markers in bright primary colours.
Next, I decided to use the Enchanted Kingdom Slimline Designer Paper by Whimsy. The primary colours and scene were perfect for my Mario world!
I die cut this slimline paper with the Slimline Windows Dies by Whimsy to create the different levels in which I could insert my elements. I popped up the frame using adhesive strips to limit the sagging especially along the top and bottom edges. Next, I adhered with liquid glue the leftover die cut scene squares to the card base to create dimension. Tip: liquid glue gives you time to position the squares and allow wiggle room to get them just right.
Once the scene was in place, I added my elements to the different squares to create my Mario world.
The sentiment was stamped in black and die cut out with a stitched rectangle. I added a star to one side to help with the balance.
The finishing touch was to add Mario and Luigi to the card. Voilà! Game On! My Mario world was complete!
