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.

Over the past several days, I received two orders from one person who chose that I not contact them. I am perfectly fine with that decision but I have found that people don’t realize that option has been selected. If you ordered from me on the 16th and also on the 20th and have not received a thank you from me AND you didn’t realize you chose no contact, please email me!! I’d love to thank you for your order!
Today’s card was created using Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (on sale this month), the Deckled Rectangles Dies and Wanted to Say Dies. I didn’t use a stamp set or ink! I have two variations of this card, one was made with Basic White cardstock and the other with Very Vanilla. You can decide which one you like better!


I started with a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock for the base of my card. Then I used the Deckled Rectangles Dies to cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and two different designs of Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper. I adhered all three pieces to the front of the card.


I used the Wanted to Say Dies to cut out the words Feel Better Soon in Lost Lagoon cardstock and the ‘background” in Basic White cardstock. I used our Multipurpose Glue to adhere the words to the background and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the front of the card.


To complete the card, I adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside.
There are some lines of white in this print of Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper so I think both Basic White or Very Vanilla look nice and it’s just a preference of what you like. Below you’ll find the card made with Very Vanilla cardstock.


Which one do you prefer?
