Framed Birthday Trio - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! I often struggle to have good masculine cards in my stash, so I thought it was high time to replenish the supply! I broke out some fun goodies from Simon Says Stamp and set to work the other day, and created quite a few! This is the first that I'll be sharing in 3 installments over the next few days! And it's one of those times where one set of cards led to another - all the way to using up the leftovers. My favorite!


I started off by grabbing Square Shaker Shapes to create some pattern paper frames. I taped the two dies together so they would stay consistent, then die cut 3 pieces of pattern paper, and 3 extra from white cardstock to layer together. This way the frames are a bit more sturdy for popping up with foam! For the background, I embossed some Lawn Fawn Speckled Eggshell cardstock with the Twinkling Stars embossing folder from the Rainbow Splash collection for some subtle texture. I layered up another strip of those pattern papers on the side, then splattered with a touch of black splatter. Once that dried, I popped up my frames on a diagonal with foam adhesive strips. The sentiments are an older Happy Birthday sentiment die, cut from black cardstock for the shadow layer, and Honey Gold cardstock for the front layer. I added secondary sentiments from Reverse EZ Strips Birthday, cut with the EZ Strips Banners die, then finished off with a few coordinating Enamel Dots to accent! Here is a closer look at each of these finished cards:
