Birthday Love - Stampin' Up! Simply Said

   I'm sharing a simple, bright birthday card today.  This one has great colors for a spring celebration and uses a fun layout that's great to show off smaller images.  I used the heart stamp from the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Documenting the Day.  They layout is one that I gave to my customers as a stamping challenge on our group facebook page.

  This one came together quickly with an Azure Afternoon card base and then a layer of Basic White embossed with the Forever Plaid embossing folder.  I had this embossed panel in my orphaned card parts bin because it had slipped going through the machine and ended up a bit crooked.  I thought it would work for this design and it helps hide if some of the hearts aren't exactly adhered straight lol!

  I stamped 2 or three hearts in each of the 5 colors then punched them out with a 1" circle punch.  A die would work great as well it just wouldn't be a quick.  They are adhered to the card front with dimensionals leaving a space in the center for the sentiment.

  The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set and is inked in Azure Afternoon.  2 retired Fine Sparkle Adhesive-Backed Gems are added on each side of the sentiment.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
