Mixing Old and New

I mixed some old and new products for my husband's birthday card; take a look:


Can you tell what the "new" product is?  Let's break down this card.

1.  The card base (hard to see against the black background) is Basic Black, cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and folded in half to make a 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" card
2.  There is a layer of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper in the background
3.  I adhered another layer of Wood Textures (the one with the cut tree trunks/logs) to a piece of Whisper White Thick Cardstock and cut this with two of the NEW Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies - can you see the stitching along the outside and the inside?  This layer was added to the card front with Dimensionals
4.  The Happy Birthday Thinlits dies were used to cut the words with Basic Black card stock.  I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue o the bottom of the "B" and the tail of the "y", along with some slivers of Dimensionals to anchor the letters to the front of the card--it looks like they are floating

And that's it!



An easy, no stamping card.  But so effective!

These Rectangle Stitched Framelits are an absolute must-have for all crafters! With 13 sizes that "nest", they are fabulous for card fronts and layers for all your card-making needs.  They will be available in the Occasions Catalog, starting January 3rd.

I like this card. Very clever suspension of the 'Happy Birthday'. Simple but very eye-catching. Thanks for sharing it.
