Birthday Pocket Card | Little Monkey

If you haven’t added the Basic Borders Dies to your wish list, I think today’s card will convince you!

The buckle is a separate piece of cardstock that was rounded to mimic the border dies. The Stylish Shapes Dies is my most often used die sets because it includes various layered sizes and shapes.

Take a Look at the Inside!

Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers provide flawless, streak free coverage. Small areas, like the monkey, don’t require shading.

I used self-adhesive, small magnetic discs to create the latch for my buckle closures. You’ll find these magnetic discs linked for you in my Craft Room Favorites HERE under the section “YouTube Featured Favorites”. The package includes two sizes, perfect for various size cards.

The interior magnet is hidden under the leaves. These magnets are strong enough to connect through a layer of cardstock! Slip in your handwritten message on the pull out card and add a gift card. There’s plenty of room for both!

Birthday Pocket Card | Cheerful Daisies

While it’s tempting to add more to designer paper, gorgeous papers like these don’t need much!

Unlike my other cards, I used the coordinating Cheerful Daisy dies to make a simple layered flower. The ‘rock and roll’ technique brings the leaves a pretty two-tone look.  CLICK HERE to learn how the ‘rock and roll’ technique.

When designer paper is as pretty as this, simple baker’s Twine adds a small amount of texture without taking away from this beautiful paper.

I think we can all agree, coordinating stamps and dies make creating easy.

Petal Park

If you love border dies, don’t overlook the Around the Bend Dies. The details in these borders create detail edges in seconds.

Use the Petal Park Builder Punch in conjunction with the Petal Park stamp set for perfect blooms without cutting.

Simple backgrounds can be created using images from the same stamp set. I used the small flower image with Balmy Blue ink on Balmy Blue cardstock. The color coordination with Stampin’ Up! is second to none.
