STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- How awesome is the black and white pattern from the new Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper (available June 1)? It’s matted on Crushed Curry card stock and mounted with Stampin’ Dimensionals on a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ Whisper White card base.
- Happy Birthday is cropped three times using the Precision Base Plate (a “must” for best results with detailed dies) and stacked for a 3-D effect.
- The inside sentiment is from the other half of this bundle, Happy Birthday Gorgeous photopolymer stamp set. Just one look at those fonts and you’ll agree that this set is aptly named!

Where can I get the happy birthday die
The “Happy Birthday” looks like it is elevated. If so, how did you do it? Also,what DSP did you use for the background?
Hi Helen: It’s cropped 3 times and adhered for height. The designer series paper is called Pick a Pattern. It retires after May 31.
What do you use to stick the Happy Birthday to the card? I just received mine and am having a hard time ! Thanks
There are several ways to do this. You could use mini stampin’ dimensionals and snip to fit below the wider areas. That gives a nice 3-D effect. Or you can use a toothpick and glue to just dot some adhesive on the back. Or you can use 2-sided adhesive sheets. Adhere to card stock before cutting. Once you cut with the die, you peel back the adhesive and you have even coverage. Hope this helps, Barbara.
Love your Cards Mary! They are clean and classy. I see a card and can tell it’s one of yours. Thank you for the inspiration you give.
Love it!
Thanks for your sweet feedback, Avis!
Hi Mary, I always enjoy your work, designs and talent. Thank you for sharing. I have been working with HB Gorgeous for a Expo with my team. I have used two layers of the HB, some the same colors and other different with some offset. Love it. Thanks again. & I will try three to achieve your idea.
I enjoy working for SU but my sales are zip. I have a Pinterest under S. D. Designs and a FB page. I have tried two craft fairs etc. Any advice appreciated on how to achieve some sales.
Hi Sharon: Please send me an email: [email protected] and we can discuss 🙂 Hugs, M

Tfs hugs Frenchie
How do you adhere the words to the front of your card?
Hi Syl: The Stampin’ Up! Fine Tip Glue is a good option or even using glue with a toothpick or paper piercing tool. We are coming back with adhesive sheets in the new catalog (June 1) which I think it’s the best overall option if you want even adherence.. M
What a stunning card. Love the Happy Birthday die. What a nice way to celebrate someone’s special day!
This card is stunning. The 3-D effect is really eye catching. The dsp works really well with the font of the framelits.
