Crafting with You Birthday Card

This card was made using the Crafting with You stamp set along with its coordinating dies. The inspiration for this card came from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog on page 91.

I absolutely love how it turned out.

The card starts with a Pool Party cardstock card base.

The front panel was made using the retired Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper(DSP). I wanted the card to look like it was a quilt or that it had been sewn, and the Quilted Christmas DSP fit for what I needed perfectly.

The basket and the embroidery hoop were cut out using the Crafting with You dies and Crumb Cake cardstock.  The dies had been dabbed with Pecan Pie ink before they were used to cut out the hoop and basket.  The tension knob on the embroidery hoop was colored using a Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends.  Once dry, Wink of Stella was added to the tension knob.

The yarn was colored with Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Granny Apple Green and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Markers.  The knitting needles were colored using a Smoky Slate Stampin' Write Marker.

The flowers, from the Crafting with You stamp set, in the center of the embroidery hoop were stamped with Smoky Slate ink that had been stamped off once.  It was then colored using Balmy Blue and Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

The scissors were made using Pumpkin Pie and Foil cardstock. A silver brad holds the two pieces of scissor together.

The sentiment is from the retired Very Best Occasions stamp set and has been stamped in Melon Mambo ink.

The sentiment panel has a piece of Vellum adhered behind it.
Here's a look at the inside of the card.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my card today.

Crafting with You!

This was such a fun card to make.  

The stamp set used to make this card along with its coordinating dies is called Crafting with You.

This set features the things crafters love: paintbrushes, an easel, knitting needles, yarn, a basket, a sewing machine, even a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

 Since the bundle had scissors and a sewing machine, I thought it would be fun to make a card that could be given to possibly a quilter.  I think I have achieved the look I was going for.

A piece of Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (DSP) was used to make the "quilt". The "quilt" piece was embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing folder, to give it a more quilty look. The scalloped edge around the "quilt" was cut using Berry Burst cardstock and one of the Scalloped Contours dies. The quilt was adhered to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The background behind the quilt is a piece of retired By the Bay DSP and has been embossed using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing folder. 

Underneath the By the Bay DSP is a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock along with a Berry Burst cardstock card base.

The sewing machine was stamped in Smoky Slate ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut out with the coordinating die. The spool of thread on the top of the sewing machine was colored using a Berry Burst Stampin' Blends. The sewing machine was adhered onto the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Silver Foil was used to make the scissors, which were cut out using the scissor die from the Crafting with You dies. A silver Festive Pearls was adhered to where the scissor handles meet the scissor blades to make the scissors look real.

The "spools of thread" were cut out using Soft Suede, Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock cardstock and the Crafting with You dies.

The sentiment has been stamped in Berry Burst ink onto Basic White cardstock and then cut out using one of the dies from the Crafting with You dies.

On the inside of the card, the basket has been stamped in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede cardstock.  Once stamped it was cut out using the coordinating Crafting with You die. The basket was adhered onto the Basic White cardstock panel using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The "spools of thread" were cut out using Soft Suede, Crushed Curry, Pretty Peacock, Berry Burst and Melon Mambo cardstock. The spools of thread were adhered to the card using Mini Glue Dots.

Only a few more days left of Bonus Days!  This promotion ends on July 31, 2023.
