I used the Stampin’ Up! stamp sets called Big on You and Four You to create my card to share today.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #129.

I started by adhering a panel of Birthday Bash Specialty DSP to a panel from the Gold Foil Sheets with SNAIL, then to a Night of Navy card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Big on You photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark ink on a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock and I heat embossed it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I punched two corners with the Project Life Corner Punch and adhered the stamped panel to a panel from the Gold Foil Sheets (also punched with the Project Life Corner Punch), then to the card front with SNAIL.

I stamped the sentiment from the Four You stamp set in Night of Navy ink on a strip of Whisper White card stock, adhered it to a strip of Night of Navy card stock with SNAIL and punched the end with the Banner Punch.

I adhered the sentiment strip to the card front with SNAIL, then tied a bow with Linen Thread through a Mossy Meadow Button from the In Color Accessory Pack (Sale-A-Bration item).  I adhered the button to the card front with a Glue Dot to finish it.

I adhered a strip of the leftover Birthday Bash DSP to a strip from the Gold Foil Sheets and to a Whisper White panel inside the card.  I added a panel from the Gold Foil Sheets under the Whisper White panel to finish the inside of the card.

You can find a complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.
