STAMPIN' UP! TRUSTY TOOLS BIRTHDAY CARD WITH WOVEN TEXTURES DSP

Today's card is my first creation with the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper.  The natural, earthy, tones lend themselves well to a masculine card.  This card also features a new favourite sentiment stamp set - Layered Thoughts - that is coming out in the new Annual Catalogue on 6th May.

To create the patterned background, I first cut a number of 1.5cm wide strips of Woven Textures DSP.  I covered a Basic White piece of card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, then adhered the strips.  Lastly, I cut out the decorated piece of card using a Textured Notes Die.

This panel is mounted on a slightly larger piece of Gray Granite card, and an Early Espresso card base.  I did cut down the size of the card base a little, to better fit the largest Textured Notes Die.

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink, on a piece of the Woven Textures DSP.  After cutting it out using another of the Textured Notes Dies, I stamped the nuts, bolts and screws in Crumb Cake ink.  I used Crumb Cake ink to sponge around the edges of this die-cut piece.

Using Gray Granite ink, I stamped the paintbrush onto Gray Granite card, then cut it out using the co-ordinating die.  A separate die, for the bristles, was used to cut a piece of Early Espresso card.  I added an Adhesive-Backed Textured Dot to the brush handle.

I stamped the spanner onto Gray Granite card, using Gray Granite ink, and onto Crumb Cake card, using Early Espresso ink.  I snipped the Crumb Cake image at the handle, and adhered it to the Gray Granite die-cut.  Don't the Textured Dots look great on a "guy" card?

Inside the card I added a piece of DSP, cut using the largest Textured Notes Die.

Listed below are the current products I used to make this card.  The Layered Thoughts stamp set is not available until 6th May, unless you'd like to join my Stampin' Up! team, to be able to pre-order products before they're officially available.  If this is something that appeals to you, you might like to click on the "Join My Stampin' Up!
