Hello my crafty friends. Check out this birthday card…this is one of my favorite techniques for a quick background with pizzazz. The sentiment is from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. It is a great go-to sentiment set, but it is on the retiring list. Be sure to check out the Last Chance Sale to pick up your favorites before they are gone.
This is a landscape A2 card: full sheet of 8 1/2" x 11” cardstock, cut in half at 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4" and burnish the top side for a crisp edge. The background is created with half inch strips in rainbow colors from my scrap pile. Line up the strips at an angle on a mat of any color, cut 5” x 4”, and adhere using liquid glue so that you can easily move around the strips. Once the mat is totally covered, trim the edges down to 5” x 4”.
RANDOM THOUGHTS: I sure hope this makes sense because it is super easy and a fun way to use up those scraps.
I (HEART): After completing the mat, just have fun with the sentiment embellishment. Pull out all your birthday-themed stamp sets and mix and match. 😊
Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I hope my project has inspired your creativity. I would love to see what you have created. Feel free to leave a positive comment below with a trail to find you so I can find your creations out on the "www" - I look forward to it.
Stamp On!!
