HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KRIS!


Backyard Basics - Stamp Set and Die
 
My friend, Kris, is celebrating her birthday today and I hope she has time to do something very special.  This is the card I sent to her.  The main idea for it did come from Pinterest, but I changed it up to make it my own.
 
The card is a top fold 4 1/2" x 5 1/2" card.  I embossed only a portion of the front of the card with the Swiss Dots folder.  Two scored lines were added just below the embossing.  I found the sentiment in the Stampin' Up! "Blooming With Kindness" stamp set and it fit nicely in the area at the bottom of the card.
 
The floral design was one I had stamped and cut out with the matching die several weeks ago and I wanted to get it used.  It was colored with Pretty in Pink and Garden Green markers.  The white layer that I added it to was cut with one of the dies in the Spellbinders Floral Doily Motifs.  The banner was made from a piece of the Pretty in Pink dp.
 
 
If anyone is interested in purchasing the Backyard Basics Stamp Set and Die Bundle, I do happen to have an extra set.  Just let me know if you would be interested.  The set has six great stamps and six matching dies.  To be honest when I first saw it I didn't think I wanted it............but I am really glad I have it!!!
 
Thank you for stopping by!  Your comments are always appreciated!

I really like the partial embossing and score lines. Makes it so much easier to add a sentiment. I'd like to buy the back yard basics set, but I'm outta work and unemployment ran out...I'd have to pay you with good wishes. LOL!

Two more cards using the "All About Autumn" retired dsp. Thank you for coming by today!
