Tune In Birthday - Stampin' Up! Tune In

   I always need to stock my masculine birthday cards and it never seems to be a priority until I have to send one out and I don't have one!  I'm making 2025 the year when I'm not caught short on masculine cards so I used the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week to to put together a quick birthday card using a set from the annual catalog and adding some nice new Timeless Plaid DSP.

  Some plaid patterns can be fussy but I chose this tone on tone blue pattern because it isn't fussy and I think fits the 'fresh' guidelines of the challenge. The Timeless Plaid DSP has more understated colors and I think a lot of them would be perfect for guy cards.  

  I started with a Basic White thick base then added a strip of Misty Moonlight down the center.  Next is the DSP with a very narrow strip of Peach Pie cardstock down one edge.  At first I was going to add Night of Navy but thought a brighter color would play better off the other blues.

  Next I stamped the tv from the Tune In bundle using both Pecan Pie ink and cardstock and then die cut it.  I colored in the tv feet and the band around the screen with a Pecan Pie Blends marker.

  The sentiment is stamped in Misty Moonlight and I added the pixel stamp twice in stamped off Peach Pie for a very subtle look.  That panel was die cut to fit the screen then the tv is popped on dimensionals.

  The antennae is stamped in Pecan Pie then colored in with Boho Blue Blends.  After it was die cut it  was popped on the top of the tv.

  Finally I added some retired enamel dots in Misty Moonlight on the tv knobs for some embellishment.

  I'm thinking this might be a good card to re-make in several color variations to pad my supply!  February is a birthday heavy month in our family and they wouldn't go to waste lol!

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
