Happy Birthday Card

Hi stampers! Today I have a quick birthday card to share, using mainly scrap papers.

With the Simon Says Stamp A2 Marquee die set you can make a layered background very quickly and the dotted borders add such a nice touch. It is from the new Simon Says Stamp Happy and Joyful release. 

I started out by looking through my box of scrap papers and picked a green and a blue piece and a watercolor paper which had been colored with Paper Artsy Infusions Colored Stains. I think the blue and green papers had been watercolored with Distress Ink. I used the three rectangles in the A2 Marquee set to die cut them and also die cut an extra rectangle from vellum.

Stamp the two colored papers with coordinating shades of ink. I used Simon Says Stamp Halftone Background and Soft Plaid Background.

I really like the look of this sentiment stamp, from Simon Says Stamp Time To Party and stamped it with black ink for a bold look. The sentiment panel was adhered with foam tape.

I used Simon Says Stamp Glimmery Cardstock for the cardbase. Here you can see all the layers.

The hearts were die cut from a scrap piece of holographic paper using Simon Says Stamp Clipping Hearts die. I keep even tiny scraps of holographic papers.

I hope you enjoyed this project! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by here today!

Happy crafting!
