Birthday Card featuring Playful Patterns and DSP

Hello stampers, crafters, and friends!  I am so glad you stopped by.  I have a great card for you today.  This layout can be sued with any stamp set and any DSP, which makes it such a great layout! Birthday, Hey There, Congratulations, etc.  If you don't need a birthday card, just go ahead and pick some other sentiment and copy the layout to make it your own!

Lets get started.

How to:

Start with a Night of Navy card base.  Cut your other pieces (this includes the smallest and second smallest Stitches Shape square die cuts).  Now grab the panel (see dimensions below) of Coastal Cabana for the front and stamp it with the arrow like stamp in the Pattern Play stamp set* in Coastal Cabana along the top and bottom  of the card panel.  Set this aside.  Grab you Basic White card panel for the inside and stamp the same stamp along the bottom in Coastal Cabana and stamp your sentiment in Memento Black.  Set this aside.  Grab the small die cut square and stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment in Coastal Cabana in the center having the square actually be a diamond.  (See picture.)  Set aside.

Now take the pieces of Playing with Patterns DSP that you have cut and decide on your placement for them on top of the Coastal Cabana panel.  Once your placement is to your satisfaction, adhere the pieces.  You will see I made my pieces so that they overlap some and so that none of them are the same length. Once they are adhered, trim the excess off.  Now adhere the small square die cut to the larger square die cut using some stampin' dimensionals.  Adhere this piece to the Coastal Cabana piece towards the left side, so that it covers some but not all of your DSP, using your choice of adhesive.  Trim off the excess, if there is any.  Now adhere the whole panel to your card base.  Adhere the panel for the inside and add Playing with Patterns resin dots onto the front of the card as you see fit.  Your card is complete!
