You Don’t Look a Day over Fabulous

1/7/24 Rising Star at A Place To Start!

Hi friends! I hope you had a fabulous New Year’s Eve and you’re ready to embrace 2024! Our new challenge is live this morning over at the newly restructured and renamed Christmas [or not] BINGO Challenges formerly known as Christmas BINGO Challenges. We’re no longer strictly a Christmas challenge… we’ve opened up our challenges to ALL occasions which means you are welcome to create a project for ANY holiday, season or occasion using the featured BINGO card. I’m thrilled to share my inspiration project for ConBC #5 – Anything Goes with Featured BINGO Card – I went with Column O this time and featured layers, stitching and rectangle on this birthday card. I used a variety of dies for a tone-on-tone look with a splash of color, and I love how it turned out!

The 3-1/2″ x 6″ mini slimline card base and two mini slimline layers (using the Kat Scrappiness Mini Slimline Postage Stamp Edge Dies and Mini Slimline Quilted Backdrop Die) were cut from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock. I also stamped the sentiment from the My Favorite Things Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 3 stamp set on Solar White, fussy cut it and set it aside. I used the Spellbinders Artful Tulip die set and a variety of CutCardStock Lessebo, Pop Tone and foil cardstock to create the focal image on this card. The finishing touch was adding Want2Scrap white pearls to the background.

The inside panel was cut from Solar White cardstock using a Mini Slimline Postage Stamp Edge Die. I stamped another sentiment from the My Favorite Things Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 3 stamp set, and added a leftover tulip from the focal image on the front.
