I used the pretty new Simon Says Stamp Birthday die and Exotic Vines embossing folder, from their And Back Again release, to make a birthday card...
I cut strips of cardstock in a rainbow of colors to try and match the width of each letter of the "birthday" sentiment. I then adhered them together on a thin piece of cardstock, cut to card size, and ran it through my die cutting machine in the embossing folder. I then adhered the die cut and layered sentiment onto the colored panel, and added a sentiment strip over die cut. I also added some tonic drops for some interest. I then popped up the panel on the card. Here's a close up...
Birthday cards are such fun to make and my most needed cards...had lots of creative fun with this one!

Love your card with the colorful embossed strips. I saw it on SSS and had to come tell you. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCould you tell the width of your strips please. I love the card but don’t want to take guesses at your width if you’d be willing to share. Thank you for your consideration. I just rec’d the embossing folder.
