Hello my lovely crafting friends! I am delighted that each of you has returned to see my latest project. If this is the first time you have popped by, welcome – I hope you like what I have shared.
Today’s birthday card is definitely an example of #simplestamping – ink, stamp and paper. Although, I did cheat and add a little Baker’s Twine.
I used the Biggest Wish Stamp Set and the Natural Textures Stamp Set (an exclusive Host set). I used Soft Suede Classic Stampin’ Pad to stamp the textured background for this card front. Using my Stamparatus, I used the hinge stamping technique to repeat the ‘happy’ greeting down the left hand side of the card front.
I stamped ‘BIRTHDAY’ using the same ink and card stock, before trimming it down. After adding Stampin’ Seal behind the birthday greeting, I looped some twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack. Once the sentiment was prepared, Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to allow it to be lifted up from the card from for added height.
The Very Vanilla card insert and envelope were stamped, using the same textured image. This time only the top part of the stamp was used. I was surprised by how interesting this short fringed image looks. It makes me want to think of other ways to repeat this.
This #simplestamping card only requires a few supplies beyond the card stock. For this card – the stamps, ink and twine.
I think this would make a perfect masculine birthday card. What do you think? Who would you send this card to? I hope that you leave a comment sharing the answers to these questions.
Happy stamping.
