Today is my birthday! So I thought I would share my Happy Birthday to Me Card celebrating me and my friend, Sheina, who’s birthday is today as well! Happy Birthday Sheina!
I recently attended a Virtual Stampin’ Up! Christmas Party that was put on by our team leader. The party was delayed until January since Covid was affecting delivery schedules. For this party, we were we given a package of products including a Pool Party card base, Basic Black Card Stock, Basic White Card Stock, a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper, a Square Vellum Doily and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon to create a mystery card. We could use these supplies anyway we liked to create something to share with the group. We could also add any additional supplies to the card that we wished.
My Additional Supplies
So, I added the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Pool Party Ink, VersaMark Ink, White Embossing Powder, Basic Black Card Stock and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to create my final card.
I love the very elegant black/white True Love DSP with the floral motif on one side and geometrics on the other. There are so many ways to add colour to it. You could colour it with the Stampin’ Blends, the Stampin’ Write Markers, sponges or daubers. I chose to add Pool Party Ink using the new Blending Brushes.
I then trimmed it into 3 equal pieces and added it to the Basic Black mat. Once the sentiment was heat set on the Basic Black card stock, I added a trimmed down edge of the Square Doily so that it peeks out. I tied the pretty Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon around my focal point and popped it up with dimensionals. I added a scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add some shimmer.
