Measurements:

 

·       Smoky Slate: 5 ½” x 8 ½” scored @ 4 ¼”, 4” x 5 ¼”, 4” x 3 ½”

·       Basic Black: 3” x 1 ¼”, ½” x 1 ½”

 

Instructions:

 

1.     Measure, score, and cut your paper.

2.     Put the 3 stamp greetings onto one clear block (staggered), “Dude”, “You’re Old” and “Bro”. Stamp onto the 4” x 5 ¼” Smoky Slate the greetings to create a background look (about 5 times).

3.     Dry emboss with the Forever Plaid with the 4” x 5 ¼” Smoky Slate. Use a Sponge Dauber and Smoky Slate ink to rub ink onto the top left corner and bottom right corner. Glue to the card front.

4.     Use the Phrases & Frames die to cut out the Smoky Slate frame. Flip it over, with the paper in the die, and run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Impressions Plate. Take the Sponge Dauber and Smoky Slate ink to go over the embossed frame. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals (cut in half or the mini ones), to attach the frame at a slant.

5.     Heat emboss with the Heat Tool, Versamark, and Basic White Embossing Powder. I stamped the “Happy Birthday” onto a big piece of Basic Black and then used my Paper Trimmer to cut it to be ½” wide. Stamp the “bruh” and heat emboss and then trim to fit. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach over the frame.

6.     Embellish with 3 Metallic Gems.

Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!
