Sweet Tooth Week- Say Happy Birthday with a card

Tracy Schultz GCD

Hi there! It's Tracy here today, and I'm so excited to have my first post here on the GCD Studios blog. What an honor! This time of year is a really busy one for me birthday-wise, and the Sweet Tooth collection is absolutely perfect for making birthday cards. [Which is great, because I really do need quite a few!]

 I fell in love with the white and kraft patterns that are part of this collection but I wanted to make them pop somehow. So I stamped my sentiment in pink ink and then cut out one of the flowers from the collection to sit next to the sentiment panel. To polish my card off, I added some pearls and a little paper piercing.

Supplies Used: Cardstock- PTI kraft, white; Decorative Paper: GCD Studios Sweet Tooth #1563, #1557, #1562; Stamps: Clear & Simple Stamps Birthday (limited edition); Ink: Palette Belle Rose; Accessories- paper piercer, Copic Multiliner Gray .1, corner rounder punch, Lifestyle Crafts Nesting Frame 3, white pearls

 For my second card, I wanted the bright colors in the Sweet Tooth collection to really pop. So I matted them against a white card base, and made giant flags out of them.

It's hard to tell in the photo, but I curled the bottoms of each of the giant flags upward using my finger for more dimension. And each layer was mounted using dimensionals.
