Paper Piecing Birthday Card

Here is a card I created using the Paper Piecing Technique!

Card Recipe (All SU!) : Stamps - Simple Birthday Thanks, Birthday Wish; Paper - Sahara Sand, Ruby Red, So Saffron, Sweet Slumber DSP; Ink - Jet Black StazOn, So Saffron Classic Ink; Accessories - Paper Snips, White Taffeta Ribbon, Dimensionals, Always Artichoke Brads, Crafters Tool Kit, Post-It Notes

I really like this stamp but have felt limited because of the words of thanks that are on it.  To omit them I took a Post-It Note and cut it down just enough to cover the words and then I inked up the rest of the image with the Black StazOn Ink.  Before stamping it onto the paper, I removed the Post-It Note and voilà the words were gone!

To create the cupcake on the front of the card I used three of the different patterns from the Sweet Slumber DSP and when I attached them to the card I used dimensionals to pop the frosting up off the front.  I added the ribbon to give it a present feel and to add a little dimension to the bottom of the cupcake.

To coordinate the inside I stamped the image (minus the words again) onto a piece of So Saffron CS, cut it out using my Paper Snips and then stamped the Birthday Wish saying in the middle using Black StazOn again.

TFL and I hope that you like it!

** Just a reminder that the Sweet Slumber Designer Series Paper is on the Last Chance List and will not be available after June 30, 2009.  If you love it as much as I do make sure to order some now!

Have a wonderful day and happy stamping!

So clever to use a post it note. I will have to try that with other sets. Great card! I love the brads as sprinkles. I am making a cupcake shaped card for a swap and that would have been cute, but a little costly for that many cards.
