by Tracy | Aug 12, 2023 | Happy Birthday Card
Thanks so much for your understanding as to why I haven’t been posting. I arrived home a few days ago after being at my mom’s house for four months but I plan to go back in a few weeks. My Mom lived in her home for 53 years! We contacted a realtor and will be selling our family home. My sister and I have been working hard each day to go through all of our mom’s things, which has been excruciating. She loved Christmas and decorated her house so that it was a magical place. Last week we went through her Christmas decorations and I will be bringing quite a lot of them home with me (so many memories!!). Since my dad passed away first, we didn’t have to take the house apart and I really didn’t understand how very hard it is to disassemble someone’s life. My heart goes out to everyone who’s already done this.
I still won’t be posting every day but today I do have two cards to share that I made a few weeks ago. They both use the same products but I used different Designer Series Paper for each one. Both cards were made with the Wanted to Say Dies, Scalloped Contours Dies and one of the Stripes & Splatters 3D Embossing Folders.
For this first card, the base of my card is Bubble Bath cardstock. Then I added a piece of Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper to the front of the card. I used the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and then cut another piece of Basic White cardstock to fit on the scalloped rectangle but first I ran it through one of the Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card.
Next, I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut the words, Happy Birthday. I used Bubble Bath for the background piece and Basic White for the actual words. I adhered the two pieces together and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back to adhere it to the card front.
To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
For this next card, I used Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst cardstock.

I have one more card to share with you today using the layout I shared last Wednesday. I shared three different cards and you can see them here.
Today’s card was made with Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper, Seasonal Branches stamp set, Countryside Corners Dies and Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece of Boho Blue cardstock for the base of my card. Boho Blue is currently out of stock and I don’t know when it will be back in stock. A good substitute for the Boho Blue in this card would be to use a Thick Basic White card base. I cut two panels of Night of Navy cardstock and adhered a piece of Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper to the bigger one (will go on the left side). I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and embossed it with the Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder and then adhered it to the smaller Night of Navy panel (again, Basic White would also work if you don’t have Boho Blue). I then adhered both pieces to the card front.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink using the stamp set Seasonal Branches onto Basic White cardstock and then cut it out using the Countryside Corners Dies. I cut the same shape, but larger, out of Night of Navy cardstock and then adhered the sentiment to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To finish my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.

I needed a birthday card for my uncle so I made today’s card for him and mailed it off. I have a hard time making cards for males. I always ask my husband, is this card too girly and usually it is! I used Texture Chic Specialty Designer Series Paper and the stamp sets, Peaceful Moments and Artistically Inked. You can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List.
I started with a piece of Soft Succulent cardstock and scored it in two places and then folded on the score lines to create my card base. I cut two pieces of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper and adhered them to the front panels. I stamped the sentiment in Evening Evergreen ink (you could also use Soft Succulent ink) using the stamp set, Peaceful Moments, and cut it out using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used these same dies to cut a larger circle out of Gold Foil, and adhered the sentiment to it. On the back, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals, just at the top and adhered it to the top panel.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card. I added a strip of Texture Chic Designer Series Paper to the top and bottom and stamped the sentiment using Soft Succulent ink and the stamp set, Artistically Inked. Then I adhered it to the inside of the card.
