2 Comments / Happy Birthday, Paper Crafting Ideas / / ,

The Artistically Inked stamp set is perfect for creating your own designer series paper. I did a series of video’s last year on creating your own designer series paper with Forever Fern, CLICK HERE if you missed that series.

Today I used Pool Party and Fresh Freesia ink to create the DSP background and Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape for the greeting (from Biggest Wish #155052).

  • Stamp the “Happy” from Biggest Wishes in Fresh Freesia and Highland Heather and “birthday” in Gorgeous Grape and attach to the Pool Party panel and layer that to the Gorgeous Grape.

Since our paper is on sale 15% off this month, CLICK HERE for pdf flyer of discounted paper packs, I decided to create another designer series paper card. This one is with the Artistically Inked paper and the Biggest Wish stamp set. I added a thin strip from the Gold Foil Sheets and that was it, a super clean and simple card.

  • Biggest Wish Stamp Set –

Directions

  • Score Basic White cardstock in landscape position at 4¼.  Fold and burnish to create card base.
  • Layer strip of Gold Foil cardstock to the back of a strip of Artistically Inked DSP that measures 2 x 5½ and attach to lower front of card.
  • Position happy birthday stamps from Biggest Wish to the Stamparatus and stamp in Memento Black ink.
