Elegant Dots Dry Embossed Build A Birthday CASE Card Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to a Fabulous Friday

Today is a super Quick card that I CASED )copy & Share Everything) from the new Annual Catalogue from Stampin' Up!

I have changed it up, as I use the creative ideas within the catalogue (of which there are just SO many), for those days when time is short, or I simply do not have a creative idea in my head for a particular stamp set)

I then make the card my own, by changing it up, so it is not a complete replica of the original. And that means you guys get two creative ideas for the price of one.

You can find the original Build A Birthday design on Page 25 of the catalogue.

I have used the new In Colours for today's project and I also wanted to show you a different way of creating a banner sentiment.

The Duet Banner Punch, which is curves, as you can see in the photo.

Now here's the thing, Photo-polymer stamps are flexible; and that means you can shape them when mounting them onto an acrylic block .... it is one of those thinking outside the box moments that tends to fly out of our heads, because we see a straight sentiment and just assume it has to be stamped as a straight sentiment.

With the sentiment I used today (included in the Build A Birthday). I mounted the stamp in a curve, to match the curve of the Banner Duet Punch. And it worked a dream!!

Have a go for yourselves, and let me know how you get on.

Me = Greatful meets Perpetual Birthday Calendar Dry Embosed Banner Card Stampin Up UK

Well, it seems all the good weather has disappeared for a while. I am back wearing my Uggs and thicker Tops!

But do I mind? Noooo! Because the New Catalogue is live and that means all is well in the world.

I have a super card for you today. But before I tall you all about it, there is a teeny bit of Business for you ...

If you would like a complimentary Catalogue from me, and you have a UK Mailing Address

CONTACT ME

& I will get one out to you

You can also view all the new products via

My Online Store

And now for the card I am sharing with you today. And what I love, is that is brings some of the best products that have folled over from last years catalogue, and mised it up with some of the new.

This, for me, really highlights the lengths that the Stampin Up! Design Team go to, to ensure that all their products blend and co-ordinate with one another.

From the old catalogue I am using the Me = Greatful Stamp Set and the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Set for the artwork.

I have added the Banner Framelits and the Large Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF) . I have coupled these products with some of the new Designer Series Papers (Affectionately Yours) and all 5 of the new In Colours

The fill tutorial and all my contact/social media accents can be found below.

Tutorial

Make your card base by trimming a piece of Kraft Cardstock to 21 x 14.8 cms; score at 10.5 cms; fold & Burnish
Trim a piece of Affectionately Yours Designer Series Paper (DSP) to 14.4 x 2 cms and mount at the top of your Card Base using Fast Fuse Adhesive
Trim a piece of diagonal stripped DSP from the Neutrals 12" x 12" Paper Stack to 14.12.5 x
Trim a piece of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock to 12.5 x 6 cms and mat onto the centre of the card base beneath the Affectionately Yours DSP strip.
Die cut the largest of the Banners Framelits Dies from Flirty Flamingo Cardstock using your Big Shot (best results with the Magnetic Platform); and then Dry Emboss the Banner using the Large Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (TIEF). Mount onto the centre of the card base using Stampin Dimensionals for lift.
Die Cut the next size down Banner Framelit using Whisper white Cardstock
Stamp the Sentiment at the top of this banner, and then randomly stamp using some of the floral stamps from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Set. I have used a mixture of the new (2016-2018) In Colour Ink Pads; Mount on top of the first banner using Stampin Dimensionals again,
Finish with a nice loopy bow of Linen Thread & adhere to the top of the card using a Mini Glue Dot.
