I had my eye of the #158763 Go to Greetings stamp set since the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog debuted. I ordered it during the 24-hour stamp sale, and it arrived quicker than I thought it would! I was so excited to get it in the mail that I sat down to create cards right away. Today's birthday card is one of the ideas I knew I wanted to make first!
The largest greeting stamp size makes a bold, slightly more formal look for this birthday card. The font style is thick enough to make a clear impression when heat embossed. I also used the embossing buddy to double ensure that no stray embossing powder heat set on the Polished Pink cardstock just in case. The lettering embossed neatly and each of the letters are crisp and legible.
I first arranged the banners along the bottom half of the card front. Once I was happy with the placement, I added Stampin' Seal to the bottom half of the back of the Polished Pink greeting piece. I carefully placed the Polished Pink greeting piece on top of the banners to adhere them in place all at the same time. I totally held my breath during that step! Lol! Next I added liquid glue to the back and adhered it to the card front.
Inside the card I added a piece of pink plaid paper from the Awash in Beauty Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack and a narrow piece of Polished Pink cardstock to cover the DSP seam and for an extra pop of pink.
You can also see in the photo above that only the tops of the banners are adhered to the card front. This adds a bit of whimsy and movement to the card.
