Just to give you a heads up - I was on a patterned paper kick this weekend. I think each of the cards that I'll post this week all have new designer patterned paper incorporated into the layout! I went a little patterned paper crazy on my first catalog order, so now I have to put it all to good use!
I love the new Cutie Pie designer papers - the colors are great (Rose Red, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, and So Saffron) and I think the different designs make the paper very versatile. There are flowers (which coordinate with at least two different stamp sets), polka dots, and stripes!
You can never have too many birthday cards on hand and I've kind of neglected this set, so I pulled out Eat Cake for this project. I colored the cake and candles with Rose Red, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and So Saffron Stampin' Write Markers. The sentiment was stamped on to a piece of scrap Whisper White cardstock and then punched out with the Key Tag Punch (or as I like to call it, the Dog Tag Punch). Then I cut off one end of the punched cardstock so I could line it up with the edge of the patterned paper.
I'm not sure that this card will actually fit in an envelope - I used a ton of dimensionals! There are dimensionals between the matted cake and the Certainly Celery layer, between the Certainly Celery layer and the patterned paper, and between the matted patterned paper and the Bashful Blue! How's that for some dimension?
