Fairy Tale Birthday

Hello Blogger friends. Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog this  Saturday in June. 

I just finished my first week of no Pre-School. I basically did the things I wanted to do. I have plans for a lot of reorganization over the summer. In 3 months time I should be able to accomplish my goals. I have to stay focused on the tasks and not get side tracked on other things. 

Anyway, here is my card for today. This one I made for my weekly DT post on the CottageCutz Blog. I used the Princess Cake die and the Splitcoaststampers sketch #752 for my card. So let's get started on some details.

Step 1: I was looking for a more clean and simple layout for this card. When I checked out the Splitcoaststampers Wednesday sketch challenge #752, it was just what I was looking for, The beauty of any sketch is that you can always bump it up a notch with designer paper, ribbon and embellishments. I stuck pretty much to the sketch layout this time. 

I selected my card colors and designer paper and then cut my princess cake in those colors. 

Light Purple Card Base: 4 1/8" x 5 1/4"
Designer Paper Layer: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
White Image Panel: 2nd largest rectangle die (2 11/16" x 3 11/16")

Light Purple Layer:  2nd largest pierced rectangle die (2 7/8" x 3 7/8")

For the princess cake I used petal pink. pretty in pink and highland heather (Stampin'-Up). For the princess crown, I used a metallic gold. I liked all the sparkle for the cake topper.

I stamped the sentiment on the white image panel. I only wanted the words Write Your Own Fairy Tale (MFT Magical Unicorns) and Happy Birthday (MFP). Since both of the sentiments had more words that what I wanted to use, I taped off the portion that I didn't want and inked up the remainder. Used my MISTI just in case I need to ink the stamp a 2nd time. But, today with the grape ink once was sufficient. 

Now I am ready to start the card assembly. For element 2 of the sketch I cut a 3/4" piece of gorgeous grape cardstock (Stampin'-Up) and embossed with a hearts folder.

Added the cake to the white panel with dimensional adhesive.

To finish off my card, I attached the image panel to the card base with double sided tape and added a few glittered enamel dots. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time ……..God bless.
