• The Basic Black layer is 5 x 2 5/8 and is the base for the 5 x 2 1/2 Real Red layer.

• The words are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on two of the 2 1/2 x 3/4 Whisper White pieces, and the Happy Birthday is stamped on a 2 1/2 x 1 piece. The flags are made with the Banner Triple punch.
• The Basic Black, Real Red, and Whisper White circles are made with the Layering Circle dies.

Tasteful Textures & Mosaic Mood DSP for a quick and easy card

So you want to make a beautiful, handmade card and are short on supplies?  Some card stock, designer series papers, punches or dies, and one stamp set, and there you have it, a simple, yet elegant card.  Quick and easy sketch to boot!!

Should you want to make a purchase, I would be honored if you chose me as your demonstrator, and placed your order in my on-line store, HERE. 

Recipe: (building from base)

• The Garden Green base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4. 
• The Blushing Bride layer is 5 1/4 x 4.
• The Mosaic Mood DSP (on sale & retiring 6/1/2020) layer is 5 x 3 3/4.
• The next piece of 3 1/2 x 2 1/4 Garden Green layer is cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies, and if you do not have the dies, no worries, just cut your cardstock to the same size.
• The Very Vanilla piece is 3 1/4 x 2 and is embossed with the Tufted folder (retiring 6/1/2020).  If you don't have the Tufted, almost any folder will work, and if do not own any folders, leave this piece plain.

• The Blushing Bride, Garden Green and Very Vanilla circles are cut out with the Layering Circle Dies.  If you do not have any dies, punches will work just fine.
• The words are stamped with Soft Suede ink, then are stamped a second time on a scrap piece of paper and the Happy is cut out with my handy-dandy Paper Snips.  Happy is popped up with mini-dimensionals.
• All done and remember to decorate your envelope.
