The card I am sharing today is a case of one I received for my birthday. The layout is simple and the focal area could not be easier.
Papers
The focal layer is the DSP part of this card so I am beginning with paper. As I said above, this part is a quick one. I chose to use the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper for my starring role. You could use any pretty paper and that in itself could be a hard to make decision because they are all so pretty. Anyway…..The background layer of Highland Heather measures 3 1/4 X 3. And the DSP equals 3 X 2 3/4. It is then cut into 1″ strips. I layed them on the Highland Heather and eyeballed the distance I needed to leave. But it does not have to be exact by any means. So how simple is that!!! And you get a striking focal layer so easily.
The other paper colors were pulled from the DSP. I went with Shaded Spruce for the card base and the embossed layer is Crumb Cake. The sentiment is on Basic White to help it stand out a bit more.
Stamps and Dies
There is only one stamp used on the front of the card and that is the sentiment. This beautiful font makes the Happy Birthday seem really fancy. The sentiment and the Die used to cut it are from the Unbounded Love Bundle. This is a sentiment only set and the Dies are shapes to hold all of the sentiments. Plus they are a great mix of sentiments.
Extras
The most noticeable Extra is the embossed layer. This is the new in the Mini Catalog Forever Plaid Embossing Folder. You can easily see the detail of this folder. It really stands out. The next Extra is the ribbon holding the sentiment layer. Again, this is a new in the Mini item. It is the Shaded Spruce Satin & Sheer Ribbon. I simply folded it and stapled it to the embossed layer. Such an easy addition and no bow tying! And last but not least is bling. These are from the Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio from the Annual Catalog. They bring color and a little shine with them.
