Glimmer Birthday Card :: StampsandScrapbooks.com

I love Glimmer, Shimmer and Bling! I struggle with how much is enough and then when it's just TOO much! I started with a basic Crumb Cake Card that was 5 1/4" x 10 1/2 and scored at 5 1/4" to get the 5 1/4" square. The Champagne Glimmer Paper (Yummmmm!) is 5 x 5 and then I ran a 4 3/4 x 4 3/4 piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock through the Big Shot in the Stylish Stripes Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. It didn't emboss all the way down to the bottom but I was covering the bottom anyway so it's all good! Next, I took a piece of Precious Pearls Metal – Okay…I know I said a week of Metal Madness but you know how obsessive I can be! – So…I ran the Precious Pearls Metal through the Big Shot in the Pretty Prints Textured Impressions Folder and adhered that to the front. The Very Vanilla Seam Binding hides the seam between the two layers. Next, I took a piece of Dark Chocolate Metal – Great way to use scraps – and passed it through the Big Shot in the Beautifully Baroque Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and adhered that to the front. I love the color palette of this card!

The three circles were cut using the Circles Collection Framelits. The largest is Precious Pearls Metal embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The next is Champagne Glimmer Paper and the Ribbon Medallion was done using Very Vanilla Seam Binding and a Jumbo Sticky Round that was made smaller by cutting it with the Circles Collection Framelits. The brad in the center is a Glimmer Basics Brad. The circles were adhered to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals and the Medallion was a giant Jumbo Sticky Round so that adhered on top.

Look at all that texture and dimension! Ya gotta love those Embossing Folders!

The sentiment is from the Express Yourself Stamp Set. It was stamped in Early Espresso Ink and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder and a Heat Tool. It was punched out with the Modern Label Punch and adhered to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Two Pearl Basic Jewels accent the sides. All Stampin' Up!
