Tasteful Touches Birthday Card

Hello…I hope you had an enjoyable weekend. I inked up a new stamp set this weekend.  Tasteful Touches is a cling stamp set in the 2020-2021 annual catalog.  It’s available as a bundle along with the Tasteful Labels dies (which I didn’t use here but are nonetheless so useful).

I have a lot of measurements to give you for today’s card, so here we go…

Materials & Measurements (from the card base up)

• Cinnamon Cider card base:  8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
• Flowers for Every Season DSP:  4″ x 5 1/4″
• Cinnamon Cider card stock:  3 5/8″ x 2 3/4″
• Flowers for Every Season DSP:  3 1/2″ x 2 5/8″
• Cinnamon Cider card stock:  2 7/8″ x 2 1/2″
• Bumble Bee card stock:  2 3/4″ x 2 3/8″
• Bumble Bee card stock:  4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside)
• Whisper White card stock: 3 3/4″ x 5″ (inside)

Details

• Glue the floral DSP and the Bumble Bee card stock to the coordinating Cinnamon Cider mat.
• Stamp the sentiment, from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set, in Versa Mark and heat emboss with white embossing powder.
• Glue each mat as shown. Do not glue the larger piece of DSP to the card base yet.
• Wrap a piece of 1/4″ Cinnamon Cider ribbon around the card front and secure.
• Glue the card front to the card base.

• Stamp the floral image from the Tasteful Touches stamp set twice in Bumble Bee ink and hand cut.
• Lightly color the flowers using Stampin’ Blends: Daffodil Delight Light, Cinnamon Cider Light.
• I brushed the flowers with Clear Wink of Stella.  But honestly, it didn’t make that much difference, so this is completely optional.
• Adhere the flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Add three Cinnamon Cider enamel dots to the upper right corner.

• The inside sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set and is stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink.
• A strip of DSP and Cinnamon Cider card stock create a pretty border along the bottom.
• I coordinated the side of the envelope using the same DSP and card stock.  This is a pretty way to decorate the envelope with using scraps. It’s always a bonus to use up those small pieces of DSP!

This is one of my favorite card layouts as I really like how you can take advantage of the coordinated DSP patterns to easily come up with a pretty card.  I didn’t even mind all the cutting!!!
