Decorative Borders: Happy Birthday version A

This was the first card I showed in my Stamp Review Crew blog hop post earlier this week. Before I posted it, I wanted to make sure you could find items from the brand-new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog and January-February 2023 Sale-A-Bration Brochure. Unfortunately, I cannot use the TAMS app to add them to the product list, so I’ll do it by hand.

This is a pretty simple card, but the repetitive stamping of the art deco image presented a challenge. Lucky for me, the photopolymer stamp and pencil lines drawn at the left and right side of the first image I stamped meant I got it right the first time! I stamped enough to fill the tag, then die-cut it. This is the smaller of the two tag dies in the excellent Something Fancy bundle.

In the Mini, the image for this stamp is shown up instead of the way I stamped it, but I thought I might want to take advantage of the part that looks like a heart, coloring it in lightly. You can see I changed my mind!

I hope you take a close look at the Designer Series Paper offered during Sale-A-Bration. The background of this stamp is from Dandy Designs 12″ x 12″ DSP (page 14), available free with $100 in product (before tax and shipping). So many fun and pretty patterns!
