   Pink Pirouette A-2

First, I die cut the sentiment, using the Happy Birthday Thinlits. Note: You can use an adhesive sheet for a backing on the glimmer paper, making it easier to adhere to the card front. I chose to use liquid adhesive on mine.

I then punched a couple of butterflies from some glimmer scraps that were in my pack.

Next, I adhered the Bella Rose DSP onto a Basic Black matte, and then onto the Pink Pirouette card front.

I then adhered the die cut sentiment and the butterflies. I used glue dots on the butterflies.

Lastly, I added a couple of pearls to the butterflies and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Sugarplum Birthday

How often do you look at your card and wonder how you made it or question your original idea? It is common practice to try your stamp on a scrap of paper first, but I tend to just stamp. And then I stamp again and again. That is how I made these squares on this card front. I tried to correct my "mistake" too many times. Then I added some roses. Nope, I grabbed the Frost White Ink and applied it with a sponge dauber. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Happy Birthday Gorgeous

   Bokeh Dots

Paper:

   Chocolate Chip A-2, Scraps

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Sweet Sugarplum

   Mint Macaron

   Chocolate Chip

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies

   Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheet

   Frost White Ink

   Sponge Dauber

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the background using Bokeh Dots and Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped several times which created the squares.

I then stamped roses using Sweet Sugarplum ink. The rose is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set. 

I used a sponge dauber to spread some Frost White Ink across some of the roses to try and tone them down a bit.

I die cut the sentiment on Chocolate Chip and a multi-purpose adhesive sheet. I added this along with a star to the card front panel.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the card front and added the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

I glued the sentiment on the inside of the vellum and then adhered the vellum onto the DSP.

Using the multipurpose adhesive sheet for the Happy Birthday die cut really made the process of adhering the sentiment easy. The trick is always make sure you are die cutting on the correct side. 

I punched and die cut small images on all of the extra spaces around my Happy Birthday die cut for use on future projects. Never throw away useable paper, especially when it has adhesive on it.

I used this template to cut my 12 x 12 DSP:

I used the middle panel #7 for this card.

The template to cut my 12 x 12 DSP is:

I always begin by cutting my 12 x 12 sheet into three 4" strips, making sure my paper is facing upward.

I then cut each strip at 5-1/2, 5-1/2, and I have 1" left over. 

I then play with each 5-1/2 x 4" panel. 

The first panel I cut in half, giving me two cards: 

Kind Flowers OSW#1&2

The second panel, I cut into 1" strips. I used 2 strips on each card, giving me two cards: 

Velvet Love OSW#3&4

Panels 5, 6, 7, & 8 were left intact:

Rich Butterfly OSW#5&6

Birthday Flowers OSW#7

Mossy Thank You OSW#8

I then took the three 1 x 4" strips and used them on the last card:

Flower Hugs OSW#9

Each of these cards will have their own post.
