I needed a masculine birthday card this week and created it using the stamp set Happiest of Birthdays and In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.
I started with a base of Smoky Slate cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock and then a layer of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper. I struggle bit with masculine cards but this was the perfect paper to use!
I stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink using the stamp set Happiest of Birthdays and then cut it out using the Stitched Rectangle Dies. I cut another larger rectangle out of Smoky Slate cardstock and layered the two pieces together. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to back to give the card some dimension. I finished by adding three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front. If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Happy Thanksgiving Day to everyone in the United States. This holiday feels very different as many of us are not gathering together with our families but there are many things to be grateful for. Mark and I will be having a very quiet Thanksgiving but we’re going all out in the food department and making all our favorites.
2020 has brought challenges to all of us. This past year I’ve had so many of you reach out to me and I’m very thankful for all of you!
From my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! Be safe, healthy and happy!

Today’s card features Feels Like Frost 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Poinsettia Dies. Feels Like Frost debuted last year in the Holiday Catalog and I was so happy when Stampin’ Up! decided to bring it back. One side of the paper features photographic images and on the other side, beautiful silver foil.
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added layers of Silver Foil and Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper. The poinsettia was created using our Poinsettia Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Not only do these dies cut out the shape of the poinsettia but it embosses as well!
I layered the pieces of the Poinsettia using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added Mini Glue Dots to the back of the Beaded Pearl before adhering it to the center of the Poinsettia.
I was going to add a sentiment to the front but there really wasn’t much room to add one so I decided it was fine without one. If I were to make this card again, I’d turn the orientation of the card and add the poinsettia closer to the top of the Designer Series Paper and then add a sentiment below.
