Vintage Birthday

Hi Stampers,

Here's a card I made with a vintage look for a weekly challenge over on the Late Night Stampers yahoo group.  The amount of talent over there is just staggering.  HERE is their group home page if you would like to join and be inspired.  This week's challenge is to make a project with a "vintage" feel.  I've used a lot of exciting new products to make this card

The card base is So Saffron card stock which is covered on the front with a piece from the new Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  I used the 3/16" Corner Rounder Punch in the top right corner.

I used Pretty In Pink card stock for he panel and pierced a line across the top and bottom using the Mat Pack and Paper Piercing Tool.  A strip of So Saffron card stock, that has been punched with the new Scallop Trim Border punch*, is attached to the bottom edge using SNAIL adhesive.

The hearts are made using the Big Shot (I love my Big Shot), a new Stampin' Up! Embosslits Die called Scalloped Heart of Hearts and one of the hearts from the Sizzlits 4-Pack Die sets called Hearts Set.  The background heart was die cut using Chocolate Chip card stock.  The Scalloped Heart uses the same Designer Series Paper that covers the front, but in an area where there are no floral images.  The Embosslit both embosses and die cuts the images.  I used a Sanding Block across the top of the embossed dots to reveal the white core of the paper.  Then, I used a Sponge Dauber and Pretty In Pink Classic Ink to sponge the dots pink.  This is attached to the Pretty In Pink panel using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The flower in the center is punched using the Boho Blossoms Punch and Pretty In Pink card stock.  I die cut a button using the Buttons #5 Sizzlit Die and threaded it using Linen Thread.  The flower is also popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The greeting is from the new set, Well Scripted, which is also found in the Occasions Mini.  This set is available in both Wood Mount or Clear Mount.  I've used the Clear Mount set and Block C.  It is stamped in Chocolate Chip Classic Ink. 

Just to clarify Clear Mount Stamps... the actual image is not clear.  It is the same high quality rubber and foam you find in the wood mount sets.  The block is a clear acrylic block that is nicely grooved on all four sides.  It allows you see exactly where you are stamping.  For 100% accuracy, it is recommended that you use a Stamp-a-ma-jig.

*This punch is one of the choices of free product from the Sale-A-Bration brochure with a purchase of $50 in product.  Click on the Sale-a-Bration button to the right for more information.
