Want to tell a music fan they’re awesome? The Epic Celebrations stamp set is just what you need. This terrific set is FREE with a $50 order, but only until March 31, 2018! Brusho Crystal Colour provided the psychedelic tie-dyed effect in the background. Guitars are made of wood, right? Well, most of them anyway. So this guitar was stamped onto a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper, then fussy cut with Paper Snips. I hope you think it’s groovy, man.

Once again, my Rising Star friends decided to do a card swap for the new catalog. We each made 2 cards from 4 stamp sets, so 8 different cards total. Today I’m sharing one of the cards I made for the swap. I used the Cake Soiree stamp set (which comes in a bundle with the Sweet Cake Thinlits Dies to save you 10%!) and the coordinating Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper. This paper has a design with metallic silver on one side and a beautiful non-metallic designs on the other – all the designs are just lovely. I used one of the designs with silver on today’s card.

The Sweet Soiree paper has 12 different gorgeous patterns, 6 of them with silver!

Here’s what I made:


Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:

- Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 5″ x 3-3/4″
- Calypso Coral CS cut to 2-1/2″ x 1-1/8″
- Whisper White CS cut to 2-3/8″ x 1″
- Whisper White CS cut to 5-1/4″ x 4″ for the inside
Stamped with the Cake Soiree stamp set:
- sentiment in Old Olive and Berry Burst inks onto the smaller piece of Whisper White CS
- NOTE: I held the stamp and the ink pad at eye level so I could see where they met. I inked the lower part of the sentiment with the Berry Burst ink pad, then turned the stamp around and inked the upper part of the sentiment with the Old Olive ink pad.
Assembled the card:
- burnished the fold in the card base with a Bone Folder
- Silver Foil layer glued onto the front of the card base
- DSP layer glued onto the Silver Foil layer
- sentiment glued onto the Calypso Coral CS piece
- Calypso Coral CS piece adhered to DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals
