I used the Sassy Salutations and Banner Banter stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create a quick banner birthday card to share with you today.  I have tons of fall birthdays in my family so I’m always looking for quick birthday cards and the non-halloween pieces of the Motley Monsters DSP worked perfectly to create this one!

My card design was inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #92.

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Sassy Salutations stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a panel of Motley Monsters DSP.  I sprinkled the sentiment with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder, then heat embossed it.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Crushed Curry card stock with SNAIL.

I used my Paper-Piercing Tool and my Stampin’ Pierce Mat and I poked holes in the upper corners of the layered panel.  I placed a Candy Dots Brad Base through the holes, then wrapped a strand of Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine around the prongs before opening the prongs in the back to hold the brads in place.  I added a Crushed Curry Candy Dot from the Regals Candy Dots pack to the center of each brad base, then adhered the stamped panel to a Bermuda Bay card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a panel from the Motley Monsters DSP to a panel of Crushed Curry card stock with SNAIL, then used my Paper Snips to cut the large banner.  I adhered the banner to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the chevron image from the Banner Banter stamp set in Bermuda Bay ink on a Sahara Sand panel an I punched it out with the matching Banner Punch.  I punched the three other banners from the Motley Monsters DSP pack with the Banner Punch.  For the two longer banners, I cut strips of the DSP about 5/8″ wide, then fed it through hole in the punch so that it only punched the tail end.

I adhered the banners over the strand of Bermuda Bay Baker’s Twine by cutting a Stampin’ Dimensional in half and placing one half on each side of the twine.  Then I adhered the banner with the Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a strip of Motley Monsters DSP to a Whisper White panel inside the card.
