While our son Jack was home from Spartanburg, SC over the 4th we also celebrated not only HIS birthday but our son Brandon’s birthday is on July 2nd!  So we celebrated them together and had a wonderful evening.  The only thing about celebrating two birthday’s at the same time when you’re doing handmade cards is that one can’t out-do the other.  So I got to do another SIZZIX Pop-UP card which turned out grrreat!

Items used on this card are:

Stamp Set: Under the Stars and Loads of Love

Card Stock:  Gable Green, Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Gable Green,Whisper White, Basic Black and the striped Designer Series Paper is a scrap leftover of Urban Garden.

Inks: Basic Black, Chocolate Chip, Going Gray and Old Olive Stampin Write Markers

Embellishments:  Styled Silver Brads, 1/2″ Circle Punch, Stampin Dimensionals, Sticky Strip adhesive tape.

This second card was fun to change-up using the cake die and do something a little different.  The SIZZIX three tier cake die is designed to be used with the SIZZIX BIG Shot from Stampin’ UP! so you want to be sure and keep that on your gift list from hubby!

Happy Stamping!  Katherine
