HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH CANDY CANES DIES

June 29, 2022

So sorry that I didn't get this posted yesterday. After my video I needed some me time, so I went swimming. It was a beautiful hot day to hop in the pool and just enjoy the cool water, so that is what I did. So today I am trying to catch up on all the things I promised.


This card started out to be something different. I knew that I wanted to use the Candy Cane Dies in a different way. I like the way they create a background. We have so many great dies this year that can be used in a background. I didn't want to do Christmas yet. There are so many great stamp sets in our Annual Catalog that was just released a couple of months ago that I feel like I haven't finished playing with yet.


For this one I used the Candy Cane Dies that will be released July 1 in the new July - December Mini Catalog. Then I used the Happy Birthday greeting from Cottage Rose, which I just love! The flowers came from the new Wonderful World Bundle (Stamp set & Designer Series Paper), I fussy cut around the flower in the paper. I also used the 2022-23 In Color Glimmer Paper. I just love the products and how they came together.

Measurements:

  • Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Starry Sky/ Sweet Sorbet, score at 4 1/4
  • Cut 5 1/4 x 4 Adhesive Sheet, adhere to Basic White below before die cutting
  • Cut (2)  5 1/4 x 4 Basic White, one for inside and one for use on the front, cut with the die from Candy Cane Dies, cut a strip of Masking Paper to use along the edges to keep from stamping the greeting on the frame area. Stamp the greeting with Starry Sky/Sweet Sorbet across the White strips that remained after die cutting. Keep the strips that cut out, stamp one of them with the greeting and trim the end
  • Cut the largest circle in Starry Sky/ Sweet Sorbet using the Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Cut the Basic White circle using the largest  Layering Circle dies
  • Fussy cut the flower from the Designer Series Paper, adhere to the Basic White Die
  • Attach the greeting using Dimensionals
  • Add the Double Bow tied with the In Color Ribbon
  • Add the bling of your choice
