MFT Preview 4 — Happy BD Jersey

Today the My Favorite Things team is sharing samples of two fun new Die-namics/Stamp sets — Jersey and Bookmark.  I took this opportunity to make a card for my nephew’s birthday.

Today I’ve used Jersey Stamp/Die-namics set, new Retro Squares and Notched Tag Die-namics with Hot Fudge cardstock.

I used the Retro Squares strip to frame the “Happy BD” message.  The little star separating the words is from Lisa’s Circus Spectacular.

The star tab is actually a Notched Tag, upside down.  I die-cut the star from the “patterned” tag, then layered that tag atop a die-cut brown tag.

After die-cutting the jersey, I stamped the 16 (because my nephew is 16…wow) using Amuse Studio French Roast ink.  The brown lines were drawn in with a marker (by simply following the embossed lines from the die-cut).  I then layered the jersey atop two layers of die-cut tablet backing and adhered to the card using foam boosters.

I “borrowed” the idea from Lisa to use this sentiment from  My Favorite Sentiments.  She had used it inside a birthday card and I thought it was perfect.  (Plus it’s a nice, large sentiment.  And this is a rather large card.)
