I used the Stampin’ Up! Happiest Of Birthdays stamp set and the Forever Fern stamp set bundle to create a birthday card to share with you today.

My card design was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches #454.

The stitching on my card was inspired by As You See It Challenge #235.

I started by adhering a panel from the In Good Taste DSP to the front of a Gray Granite card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut a panel of the Forever Greenery DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and I adhered it to a panel of Pretty Peacock card stock and then to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I looped a length of gold cord from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack and adhered the loops with Glue Dots to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest Of Birthdays stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies.  I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the greenery image from the Forever Fern stamp set in Pear Pizzazz ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then cut around it with one of the Forever Flourishing Dies.  I adhered the die cut with Glue Dots to the label and then added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock and then added a strip of the In Good Taste DSP to finish the inside of the card.

This card was super quick to put together so I made a few more with different background designer paper panels!

You can see a list of supplies used to create this card, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.

I’ve created a printable PDF with written instructions and a list of products used to create this card.  You can download, print and/or save it by clicking this image:
