I can’t stop reaching for the Stampin’ Up! Iconic Celebrations Designer Series Paper, a new On-Line Exclusive, and today’s simple birthday card shows you why. It was a snap to use three of the darling and easy to mix patterns. I also love, love the Everyday Greetings stamp set, another new On-Line Exclusive which I used for “Birthday.”
WHAT I LOVE! Perfect little shapes for sentiments! That’s what the Greetings of the Season dies (new On-Line Exclusive) deliver including the oval (zoom in to see the dotted border) and Moody Mauve flagged end (cut down).

Use a Mini MISTI stamp tool to stamp the “birthday” sentiment (Everyday Greetings stamp set) in Misty Moonlight Classic Ink onto the Basic White layer. Watch my 1 Minute to WOW video: The Magic of the Mini MISTI for a quick demonstration here.
Crop the stamped sentiment with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the 2 3/8 x 1 1/4 Greetings of the Season oval tag die.
Tie a bow of white Baker’s Twine Essentials through the hole of the oval tag die.

PERFECT POLISH! Adhere the 5 3/4 x 2 1/2 Designer Series Paper to the Basic White Medium envelope flap with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. IMPORTANT: Add glue to the flap first, not the Designer Series Paper.
