With You In Mind, Brushed With Beauty, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a card to share with you using a layout at a friend's blog. You can see her creation by clicking here. Mine is a little different but I was inspired by Lynette's card. Please read on to see how I made today's card.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White for the largest layer.

The panel pieces are made using Calypso Coral card stock for the base and "Brushed With Beauty" Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the 12" x 12" package. I cut the top piece of card stock to measure 3-3/4" x 2-1/8" and I cut the bottom piece to measure 3-3/4" x 1-1/8". The DSP was cut at 3-12" x 1-7/8" for the top piece and 3-1/2" x 7/8" for the bottom piece.  I taped the layers together. Dimensionals were added to the back.

I set the DSP layered pieces on my Basic White layer to see where the wording would go.  The "Happy Birthday" is from the "With You In Mind" set with black Memento ink.

Once the words were stamped I set the panels in place.

Dimensionals were added to the back of the Basic White layer and it was set in place on the front of the card.

I added some enamel dots that I had in my stash. I don't know what package they came from, the were just in a little zip baggie.  But they were close enough to the right color so I used them.  And that was it, the card was done.

This was a super quick and easy card to make and I think it would be great for DSP that is a bit "busy".

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,
Wanda
