GOLDEN GREENERY BIRTHDAY WISHES

Today’s card features the Golden Greenery Dies, the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set and the Greetings of the Seasons Dies.  My goal today was to show that you can think outside the box and use products in ways not shown in the catalogs or online.  These products appear to be “Christmasy” but can be used in another way completely.  I decided to make a masculine birthday card with them.

Here is what I came up with…

The card base is Basic White cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.   I then cut a layer of Old Olive cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” an added it to my card base.  Next, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5” and embossed it with the So Swirly Embossing Folder and added that to the top of the old olive layer.  With that completed I started my die cutting.  I used the Golden Greenery dies to die cut out some of the foliage pieces from the Graceful Greenery Vellum 12 x 12” Specialty Designer Series Paper.  There is one piece of a textured white vellum in the package and I also used some of the dies to cut them out.  I added those to the front of my card.

For my sentiment I used the Everyday Greetings Stamps and stamped “BIRTHDAY Wishes” onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock with Old Olive Ink and then die cut that using one of the Greetings of the Seasons Dies.  I love that these dies coordinate with both the Greetings of the Season stamps as well as the Everyday Greetings Stamps making the most of both sets.  I added that to the front center of my card using Dimensionals.  To finish off my card I used a Mini Glue Dot to add a double bow made from the Gold and Silver (I used the silver) 1/8” Trim Combo Pack (I used it to cover up the hole on the tag die) and added three of the Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
