Checked Birthday

I have a simple and fun birthday card. This one uses bits and pieces of leftover papers and embossed card stock. Plus one of the inexpensive stamp sets for the fun part.

Stamps

This cute stamp set is called the Enjoying Little Things set. And it is just that. The pieces are little, except for the two larger stamps, and are all fun and cute. I chose the bold Happy Birthday from the set. A bonus is that this stamp fits the 2 2/8 Circle Punch. Punches always make the process quicker and easier. I also used a retired 1″ Circle Punch for the cake.

To add some texture to the card I stamped the partial checkerboard looking stamp down the right hand side. It is tone on tone of the Peach Pie. I also used it, stamped off first, behind the cake so as not to have white on white so the cake popped a bit.

Papers and Extras

The pretty White and Gold semi checked paper is from the Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper. Because it was on my desk already, I used the Pecan Pie piece that has been embossed using the Plaid Embossing Folder. This folder is awesome in the details. Plus it is just now back in stock! And the card base is Peach Pie card stock to soften the darker colors.

To finish the card I always like some bling. Since these colors are a little darker than my norm, I wanted some extra sparkle. I chose the Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems. These are amazing. They are sparkly and flat. Plus there are gold, silver and black in two different sizes of each.
