Let’s start a new week with a “big” birthday wish!
I’m calling this post a classic “product blend” card. I had something completely different to showcase today, and my project evolved into this Christmas Scottie birthday card. It’s because I wanted to use the Pacific Point Grid Designer Series Paper from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack. It’s on page 87 in the July – December Mini Catalog. The “Celebrate Everything” title is spot on. It celebrates everything!
Along with the Designer Series Paper, I used the Christmas Scottie Bundle, the Celebrate With Tags Bundle, and the Biggest Wish stamp set. Lots of “product blending” which is a fun, creative process. I started with the DSP, then the Scottie dog, then the big birthday wish, and finally the balloon. What you see results from mixing and matching supplies.
Today’s Card Pieces And Parts
- The Pacific Point cardstock card base is 11″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″.
- I cut two Basic White layers 4″ x 5 1/4″. One for the card front and one for the inside.
- The Pacific Point grid patterned paper is 3 7/5″ x 5″.
- I used the large circle die from my Stitched Shapes Dies. It measures about 3″ in diameter. You can use the large circle die from Stylish Shapes, as well to die cut the circle from the polka dot patterned paper.
- The Scottie dog is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and punched it out with the coordinating Scottie Dog Punch.
- His collar bow is punched using Sweet Sorbet cardstock.
- I stamped the balloon with Daffodil Delight ink. The stamp is from the Celebrate With Tags stamp set.
- I used sponge daubers and my Stamparatus to ink the balloon with Daffodil Delight and Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
- It’s die cut using the matching die from the Bundle.
- The “happy birthday” sentiment is from the Biggest Wish stamp set. It’s stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
- I attach Scottie and the balloon to the card layer with Dimensionals.
- I embellished with a few white Classic Matte Dots.

So, look at your supplies, find some great patterned paper, mix and match stamps and sentiments and create something with a Biggest Birthday Wish!
… the only limitation is your imagination!
