Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! This is a great time of year to build your stash of handmade birthday cards, so we are sharing birthday-themed projects with you today. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Today’s card is shown with two layouts. I originally intended it to be as an even layered card, 2nd picture, but as I was lining it all up I accidentally laid the top panel to the side and really liked the look of it. I went back and forth, took pictures of it both ways, but settled on the first one. This card will be in the mail soon to my step dad whose birthday is next week.
Supplies:
| Paper: | Assorted note cards Memories and More, Patterned Party DSP, Misty Moonlight cardstock |
| Stamp Set: | Biggest Wish |
| Ink: | Misty Moonlight, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight |
| Other: | Stamparatus |
I was able to line up my BIRTHDAY stamp so cleanly by using the step technique on the Stamparatus. By moving the plate down one hinge at a time it lines the image up perfectly. The image below shows how it works.

Great card, Pam! They’re both great, but I agree with you. I like the offset one better. Your stepdad will love it!
This is wonderful! I love the repeats, and the paper. I like both, but agree that the offset gives extra depth for some reason. Gives me ideas!
What a perfect use of the step technique with the stamparatus. And I’m with you on the offset version. Like it better
What a fabulous combination of colors, Pam. Love this card!
I love, love, love, love, love the repeated sentiment on this sweet card and the colors you’ve used to showcase them. Love! ♥
I haven’t really tried the slimlines yet. Gotta go try them now!
I really like your card, and agree the offset is better. Isn’t it wonderful when you accidentally make something better than you originally intended?
Love this set and love your color choices-perfect!
Happy card. Great use of space and sentiment.
