Putting Away Picture Perfect Birthday

April 19, 2019 2 Comments

This morning's project had started out with an idea for a very elaborate gift tag with lots of layers. But as so often happens, that's not what I ended up with. Instead my Picture Perfect Birthday tag was much more minimalist, but I love it just the same. SIMPLE COLOURS I began my gift tag with the #3 and #4 ovals dies from the Stitched Shapes Dies (the two largest). Using my retiring Big Shot I cut a piece of the retiring Berry Burst Card using the #4 oval die. Then I cut two of the ... VIEW POST

It's always a good day when I can make a masculine card.  Most cardmakers I speak to say masculine and sympathy cards are the hardest to make.  So when I created this one for my personal World Card Making Day challenge earlier this month I was very happy indeed.  I pulled out the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set and a favourite pack of DSP and just started to play.

Some years ago Stampin' Up! sold a product that had an art canvas type of texture.  It's no longer available but I've discovered a quick and easy way to get that canvas effect, all courtesy of my new favourite Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder called Subtle. This project actually started with the Lilypad Lake Stamp Set and Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I stamped the sailboat image onto a scrap of Whisper White Card and then coloured the pair of boats using Coastal Cabana and ...
