Guy's Bday.1

So, we really can’t use lace, hearts and doilies on every card, can we?  It’s the season for those things and I love it!  But we need other cards for our family and friends 🙂

Today’s card is great for a guy’s birthday:  it’s bright and fun with a light-hearted sentiment.  AND, it has some item’s from the Spring catalog.  Can you guess what those items are?  I’ll tell you at the end of this post (there has to be a little suspense!).

New Technique and Pretty Pointer:  Today’s card shows a new technique which is perfect for this card. The left edge of the card is bordered with a strip of Crumb Cake card stock that has been scored to give the card some texture.  Simply cut a strip of card stock about 1″ wide and 5-1/2″ long (the length of the card), place it on the Simply Scored Scoring Tool, and score three vertical lines with the Stylus.  Affix it to your card – in this case with just a little overlap on top of the designer series paper.  It creates the look of a binding on a book, don’t you think?

Ok, did you guess the items from the Spring catalog?  The bright paper is one of the sheets from the NEW Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack.  I love the paper “stacks” that Stampin’ Up! has.  There are 48 sheets of paper (yes, 48 sheets!) and each one is the size of one large card. So easy to work with and so many possibilities!  And then the button–the button is from the NEW Basics Designer Buttons.  There’s a little bit of Linen Thread in the one on this card.

REMEMBER, this is SALE-A-BRATION!!  And that means, this is the time when you earn FREE fun and special items for every $50 you order!  Do you have the Simply Scored Scoring Tool?  That would be a great way to begin your order (Item No. 122334).
