With all the focus on Christmas cards lately I've found that my birthday card stash for men is getting a bit sparse so I decided to use the colors at the Color Throwdown challenge to make a quick one to have on hand. The Saying Hey stamp set is a nice casual all purpose sentiment set to have on hand for these kinds of cards.
The colors to use for this challenge are listed as mustard, red, and slate blue. I choose to use Misty Moonlight, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler as my Stampin' Up! colors. This is a nice design to use up those narrow 1/2" strips of cardstock that we all save but rarely use. I use woven them together in a simple crisscross pattern and then used glue to adhere it to a piece of Basic White. Using glue gives you wiggle room (literally!!) to adjust the strips so that they are even.
The Basic White panel is adhered to a Misty Moonlight card base.
Using the Saying Hey set I stamped the 'hey' in Misty Moonlight and then fussy cut it and popped it on dimensionals. The 'happy birthday' is stamped directly onto the Basic White panel.
A few Gold Textured Adhesive-Backed Dots are a nice match to the Crushed Curry so I added a few of those for a nice understated embellishment.
Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
