Yea! My order arrived with a stamp set that I have been itching to try - Stylized Birthday.
My intention was to make a simple card but one that had some interesting elements. After selecting my designer series paper, I decided a Whisper White Doilie would add some charm to my card. And, it just built from there.
Ginger's Tips:
- Pool Party Card Base 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
- A Little Foxy DSP layer 3-3/4" x5"
- Loops of Silver Metallic Thread
- Delicate White Doilie
- Smoky Slate C.S. 2-3/8" x 2-7/8"
- Whisper White C.S. 2-1/8 x 2 -5/8"
- Stamp the sentiment from Stylized Birthday with Smoky Slate Ink
- Adhere Silver Metallic & Pool Party Enamel Shapes
- Attach a bow tied with 3/8" Pool Party Stitched Satin Ribbon
You have to look hard to see the Silver Metallic Thread behind the doilie but I promise that it is there.
Thanks for stopping by my blog today! Remember that if you need any of the supplies used to create my card, just click here to be taken to my Online Store. I would love the opportunity to earn your business.

Gorgeous card! Love everything about it. Gonna have to look into that stamp set…
You definitely achieved your objective! I really Like this card. It is simple but elegant. To me this was achieved by your choice of paper, color and the other elements like the silver thread, I did get a glimmer of it, the doily, the saying (love it and the star above the “i”.) The bling and the cute little bow in a beautiful color. Anyone would love to receive this card. Very nice work.
The stamp is on my wish list from the very start when I saw it! This brought it up a notch on the list! I had already planned to have a little bling at the end of the “y” and dotting the i. The paper, oh now I need that, as I love chevrons and the colors. There is something about smokey gray or gray I just really like to pair with other colors. I am glad you mentioned the silver threads as I had missed them in the picture but then I looked for them. Just a fun little touch of added texture. Of course, I love the doily. A sweet card and I would almost be willing to have another birthday just to get this card! Just kidding. Off to check out that DP!
