Hi everyone!  Someone somewhere is celebrating a birthday and here’s some soft color wishes for you! A pretty card makes a birthday seem better somehow, doesn’t it?  Birthdays just keep coming at ya! ha!

I started out looking at my Memory Box plaid paper pads for a color scheme.  I used the Madras Plaid Blue and Violet PP104 6×6 pad without looking to see if it was still in the stores I link to.  OOPS!  Evidently it’s been discontinued. ugh.

I’m linking to the other three plaid pads in the stores that will make fun color cards too!

It’s hard to see the gold in my pictures so I took a phone picture in front of the upstairs hall door so you can see the gold.  Wish I could show you in person! I know, I know, I’m always saying that! lol

The cardbase for this card is 4 ¾ in. x 6 in. so it’ll need an A7 envelope.

I die cut the poppystamps Lattice plate in white three times and glued them together.  I just really like how it added just enough depth without needing to cut little strips of mounting tape.  I used Tombow Mono Multi sparingly to glue them together and to glue the lattice to the plaid panel.

Then I cut a piece of plaid with gold lines to layer on top of the lattice panel,  It’s 2 ½ in. x 6 in.

I used the die from the stamp set to cut a piece of white cardstock for the floral bouquet shape.  Then I put the die cut shape in the 3D embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot following the directions for 3D folders.  (I do add a few cardstock shims for mine)

After I had the big bouquet embossed I die cut just the center flower from the 3D embossing folder set,  ran it through the same embossing folder, then started coloring both embossed pieces with the Stencil set, regular Distress Ink Pads and ink blending brushes.

I’m having fun making cards with these products!  I haven’t inked the stamp and embossed it in the 3D folder yet but I think that would be beautiful too!

If you want some new products to create with on these hot Summer days when it’s better to stay inside in the AC…this release is just the thing you need!

When you tap or click on my links to see these products you’re going to get a surprise!  Cindy@Starlitstudio has been VERY busy and her new store is up and running with new products being added again!  Yay!  So excited!  It’s beautiful!  Be sure to click on the STR abbreviation to check it out!

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy cardmaking to you!
