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.

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.

Today’s card features the So Sentimental Bundle and the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. The So Sentimental Bundle (bundles always save you 10%) includes the So Sentimental stamp set and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (one of my favorite set of dies).
This is a fun layout and you’ll get a completely different look by just changing up the papers. I used Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and Garden Green cardstock which I ran through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder.
The base of the card is Thick Whisper White cardstock with a layer of Pretty Peacock cardstock. The punched pieces were adhered to a piece of our regular Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment was stamped using Pretty Peacock ink and was cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment before adhering it to the front of the card.
If you’d like to make today’s card, you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

Yesterday I shared three cards using Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and today I have three more to share with you. I made all of the cards using the same measurements (with the exception of the black/white design from yesterday and you’ll find those measurements on yesterday’s post). If you missed yesterday’s post, you can see it here. You’ll find your free Tuesday Tutorial under the Supply List!
This first card has a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and the Designer Series Paper is layered with a piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock. The embellishments I used are All the Trimmings. I used Pretty Peacock ink for the sentiment.
This card has a base of Crumb Cake cardstock with a layer of Blackberry Bliss. I used our Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some sparkle. Blackberry Bliss ink was used for the sentiment.
This card has a base of Pretty Peacock with a layer of Garden Green cardstock. The sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink and I used our Elegant Faceted Gems.
