For my project today I wanted to make a card for Janet! She is such a sweet and thoughtful person! I hope her day is full of fun and special memories!
When I found out she was turning 60, I immediately thought of the Sweet Treats cartridge that has the number candles. Her favorite color is blue so I wanted to incorporate that as well. I also saw recently that someone used Reynold's Foil to emboss and I loved the look of it so I wanted to use that technique on this card. I cut out a card that was 8" across, and 5" tall. I scored it at 2" and 6" and then folded it. I glued the pieces for the 60 together and put stampin' dimensionals on the back of it . I cut out my foil and then used my Texture Boutique to emboss it and then I applied it to my card and then the 60. I made a belly band so the card would stay closed and added a bow with Stampin' dimensionals to the belly band. Then I added Stickles to EVERYTHING :) I LOVE diamond stickles because it enhances what ever color you are putting it on top of.
Supplies:
Cricut
Gypsy
Sweet Treats Cartridge
ATG Gun
Zig Two way glue pen
Cardstock
Reynold's Heavy Duty Foil
Bow- Build a Bear :)
Stampin' Dimensionals
Diamond Stickles
Texture Boutique
