Do you need a cute quick birthday card? The card today fits that description. It is created using the Inked & Tiled stamp set. It comes as a bundle with two punches. The card base is Calypso Coral. The Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper used can be ordered in the Inked Botanicals Suite Collection. A suite is a great way to get all the coordinating products to create with this stamp set. I cut two pieces 5 1/2″ x 2″ and 5 1/2″ x 1″ and attached them to the card front. From a coordinating piece, I cut a piece 5 1/2″ x 2″ and attached it to a piece of Lost Lagoon cut 5 1/2″ x 2 1/4″ and attached this to the card front.
Next I die cut a piece of Basic White using the largest die from Nested Essentials Dies, which are a stand alone die. What that means is that is does not coordinate with any particular stamp set. then using Pool Party ink and stamping off once, I stamped the leaves twice on the die cut piece. I then stamped the flower using Petal Pink. I attached this piece to the card front with Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Calypso Coral on Basic White and die cut with a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Then I die cut next size up out of Lost Lagoon. these were glued together and attached to the card front with Dimensionals. I embellished the card with the Brushed Brass Butterflies and the Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon. Fast and easy for a special birthday card.
Here is a look at Nested Essentials Dies that are so easy to overlook in the catalog since they do not go with a specific stamp set.
Here is the description of the dies on the Stampin’ Up! website.
