Please scroll down for Day 1 of the WPlus9 February/March Release previews!
I needed a birthday card for a little guy turning 5, so reached for my number dies and created "windows" in a panel of navy cardstock. I popped the panel up with foam dots and highlighted the number "5" with a scrap of orange patterned paper behind it.
I kept the sentiment simple, since this little guy can't read yet. :) Embossed chevrons on the background and an orange star are the finishing touches.
Cardstock: Stampin' Up! (Midnight Muse), Papertrey Ink (Terracotta Tile)
Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye (Alphabet Soup)
Stamp: Papertrey Ink (Birthday Basics)
Ink: Stampin' Up! (Midnight Muse)
Tools: My Favorite Things (numbers, tab die), Lifestyle Crafts (embossing folder), Papertrey Ink (star die), We R Memory Keepers (Corner Chomper)
Accessories: button, DMC floss
I hope you'll join us this week! Thanks so much for your visit!
