For the last day in July, I’m sharing a masculine birthday card, created with the Game On Stamp Set. Wouldn’t this be a great card for a chess player, or a guy who appreciates “play on words?” Keep scrolling to see my instructions, and you’ll find my supplies in the Product List below.
Chess
Today’s Step-by-Step Instructions:
Cut Thick Whisper White Cardstock to 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, fold in the middle at 4 1/4″ to make your card base.
Stamp the Buffalo Check Background Stamp in Real Red Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, a little larger than the stamp. Use your Stamparatus to get good ink coverage. Trim the Buffalo Check to 4″ X 5 1/4″, making sure the lines are straight, and adhere the layer to the card base.
Stamp the chess pieces from the Game On Stamp Set in Memento Black Ink on Whisper White Cardstock. Use a Layering Squares Die for cutting, and one a size larger for cutting the Basic Black Cardstock border. Attach this to the card front with Dimensionals.
Stamp “Hope your day is all fun & games” in Memento Black Ink, cut with an Ornate Frames Die, and attach with Dimensionals.
I’m sharing with CAS(E) this sketch.

I’d like you to meet Dane. His nickname is “birthday dog,” because he’s always so eager to wish everyone a happy birthday. He insisted on making this card, and said it would turn out nicely if I followed his instructions. I’ll try my best!
Birthday Dog
Dane’s Instructions
The first thing you need to do is have a human cut me out of the Playful Pets Designer Paper. I’m not hard to find, because I’m the tall, cute one. Then, you can start making my card.
I like the red stripe for my background (3 3/4″ X 5″) layered on Real Red Cardstock that is 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border. Layer this on a Gray Granite card base that matches my fur. I may slobber, but I’m neat when it comes to card making.
Since I’m a Playful Pet, I love playing with the Playful Alphabet. Stick a 1″ strip of Real Red Cardstock onto a 1″ strip of a Foam Adhesive Sheet, put the letters on top, and crank it through the cutting machine. Be careful not to catch your tail in there; it hurts!
See how great the letters are? You can’t lose them, because they come on a sticky sheet that shows you where they belong.
I need a box to sit on, so I can stack all the letters. You make it with a Stitched Rectangles Die (1 3/4″ X 1 1/4″) and Gray Granite Cardstock. And, it has to have “birthday” written on it. You can find that word in the Well Said Stamp Set. Stamp it in Real Red Ink, cut it with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die, and snip the ends to make it fit on the box. Now it’s time to eat!
I hope you were able to follow Dane’s instructions. I think he did a pretty good job. You’ll find all of his supplies in the Product List below.

Beginning August 4th, customers can order from the new August -December 2020 Mini Catalog. It has 83 pages, so not really “mini.” You can see me talk about my favorites in the video below, and today’s card is a sneak peek of the Love Of Leaves Bundle.
Stitched Leaf
Instructions
Cut Soft Sea Foam Cardstock to 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, fold in the middle at 4 1/4″, making your card base.
Using an Ornate Layers Die, cut a piece of striped, Forever Greenery Designer Paper.
Glue it to Whisper White Cardstock, the size of the card front, 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″.
This gives you room to cut it with the largest Stitched Rectangles Die. Place scratch paper on your cutting plate to avoid getting (possible) glue there.
Use the fourth largest Stitched Rectangles Die to cut from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock.
NOW, for the new stuff! Cut a leaf from the middle of the Soft Sea Foam rectangle, using a Stitched Leaf Die. Make a stitched impression on the leaf, using its matching die. You run this through the die cutting machine the same way, but it embosses rather than cuts.
“Thank you” is from the Love Of Leaves Stamp Set. Stamp it in Garden Green Ink, and cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die. I shortened the label by using a larger Stitched Rectangles Die on one end. Find something pretty to dot the “thank you.” I used a retired Glimmer Dot.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.
I hope you enjoyed this Sneak Peek of Love Of Leaves. I love all the stitching! You can see the entire Bundle in my Product List below.
