Timeless Textures - April Step It Up Blog Hop

Welcome to the April 2017 Edition of the We Create Bloggers Step It Up Blog Hop! The theme is to inspire stampers with a basic design, and at least one alternate "stepped up" version of that same design. My project this month features the Timeless Textures stamp set (available in wood-mount or clear-mount), and is actually just a simple greeting swap on the same card design.

Stampin' Supplies: Timeless Textures stamp set, One Big Meaning stamp set (wood-mount or clear-mount), Pool Party ink & card stock, Night of Navy ink & card stock, Whisper White card stock, Brights Sequin Assortment, Stampin' Dimensionals.

Stampin' Supplies: Timeless Textures stamp set, Stylized Birthday stamp (wood-mount only), Pool Party ink & card stock, Night of Navy ink & card stock, Whisper White card stock, Brights Sequin Assortment.

Because of the difference in size of the greetings, there is a little more background stamping on the thanks card than on the birthday card, but I think the script of the birthday greeting really jazzes up the whole card instantly. Both cards are pretty straight-forward, simple stamping, nothing bulky to cost extra in mailing. The Night of Navy card stock layer of the thank you card was actually raised a little with Stampin' Dimensionals, and, though I didn't do that on the birthday card, I do like that better.

If you wanted to be a bit more fancy, you might add a knot or bow with some Night of Navy Solid Baker's Twine, or use Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and set with the Heat Tool on the greeting of either card.
