A Good Birthday
Today’s card combines some new product with a returning stamp set. I sometimes get bogged down thinking I have to use the products from a Product Suite only with other products from the same suite. Of course, that’s not true, all the products in the new Annual Catalogue are designed to be teamed with any other product you desire. So in a way, today’s card is a little outside my comfort zone! I embossed Very Vanilla card using the Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder. I cut a strip of one of the designs from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper and attached it to the left hand side of the embossed card. I attached the panel to scored and folded Early Espresso card. 
I stamped the image from the A Good Man stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the image using the Dark Night of Navy, Dark Balmy Blue, Ivory and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. I cut out the image using one of the ovals from the Layering Ovals Dies and attached it to an Early Espresso scalloped die cut using the same dies. The image panel is attached to the card front using dimensionals. 
I punched both ends of a piece of Very Vanilla card using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and stamped “happy birthday” from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set using Early Espresso ink. I attached the label to a piece of Early Espresso card and then the card front. I only used dimensionals on the ends of the label so that it could sit across the bottom of the stamped oval panel.
To decorate the inside of the card, I stamped “Relax You Way” from the A Good Man stamp set onto Very Vanilla card using Early Espresso ink. I attached a narrow strip of Early Espresso card behind one long edge of Very Vanilla card embossed using the Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder before attaching it to the bottom of the stamped Very Vanilla card.
It was really quite simple to create but I really love the finished card, don’t you?
Bye for now,
Kris
