Let's Make It

Here's the step-by-step for how I made this exact card:

  1. Die emboss the Basic White layer with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, then glue this to the card base
  2. Glue the four scraps to the Garden Green layer
  3. Glue the layer from Step 2 to the die embossed layer
  4. Stamp the greeting on the Basic White rectangle
  5. Add greeting layer to card with Stampin' Dimensionals
  6. Add a purple Rainbow Dot to the “i” in BIRTHDAY plus a few more on the scraps

Here's a closer look so you can see the purple dots and dimension under the greeting more easily.

More Sketch Ideas

As promised at the beginning of the post – here are seven ways to change up this sketch:

  1. Use a different shape for the greeting (circle, oval or square)
  2. Canter the greeting on the paper scrap layer
  3. Use colored card stock as the first layer
  4. Use patterned paper as the first layer
  5. Use embossed card stock scraps for the skinny layers
  6. Use coordinating card stock colors for the skinny layers
  7. Skip the “bling” for a guy card
