Stampin' Up! True Love DSP Birthday Card

Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  I love having visitors!  Thanks for stopping by.

This card was inspired by Sketch Challenge 211 at the Fab Friday Challenge Blog.  This sketch saved my day, because I was feeling quite uninspired when I got up to my craft desk today.

I started by cutting a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper to 5-1/2" x 3-1/2".  

Then, I used a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut out a portion of the DSP.  I ended up with one piece of DSP 5-1/2" x 13/16", the middle piece is 5-1/2" x 1-11/16" and the bottom piece is 5-1/2" x 3". 

After cutting the pieces, I used Stampin' Blends to color only the center piece.

Once it was colored, I glued the pieces down using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. 

(I precut cut card bases to 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" and store them in an old Paper Pumpkin Kit box.  So I just grabbed one after I chose what colors I was using) 

Next, I decided to stamp 'Happy Birthday' on a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock.  

Then, I fussy cut around the sentiment using Paper Snips.  

Side Note: I picked up a spare pair of scissors today from a local 'box store'.  They don't cut nearly as well as my Paper Snips!  So, I put them down real quick and used my Paper Snips.

Mini Stampin' Dimensionals were used to adhere the sentiment to the front of the card.  Don't have Mini Dimensionals?  You can always cut the normal size Dimensionals in half.

The finishing touch was a few Basic Pearls scattered around.  

I often decorate the inside of the card, but not always.  Sometimes I like to leave plenty of blank space for writing...this was one of those times!  

However, I did decorate the envelope flap with some of the left over True Love Designer Series Paper. 

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Please contact me if you have any questions, for a catalog (if you don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and live in the USA), or to Join!  You can also click the link above to sign up for my newsletter.
