For the past 2 months I’ve been enjoying using the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper. I’ve used many of the 12 prints found in the package, but I just couldn’t bear to cut up the print with all the different animals celebrating birthdays…until now. I decided to play around and really feature the critters on a card, So, I thought this would be the perfect time to debut a new weekly (or nearly every week) blog post that I’m calling This or That Thursday. So each Thursday I plan to post two cards using the exact same layout, stamp set and accessories…the only difference will be that I’ll change up the colors and or paper. Your job is to then let me know which you like better. Do you like “this” one or “that” one? So here we go….
For the first card I used Pacific Point for the base of the card with a layer of Lemon Lime Twist that’s been embossed with the Polka Dot Basic Embossing Folder. Next a 1″ strip of the striped print and a 2″ wide banner of polka dots from the Birthday Memories DSP. Keeping with the circle theme I cut out a circle with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Delivery stamp set in Pacific Point ink. Then a bit of fussy cutting around the adorable bunny rabbit carrying a birthday cake. I popped up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few of the Enamel Shapes.
For the second card I used a Real Red card base with a layer of Whisper White. The red printed strip across the top and the crumb cake print of the banner also come from the Birthday Memories DSP. Notice the layout is exactly the same as the first card including the Stitched Shapes Circle. The sentiment is in Real Red and this time I fussy cut the poodle and popped her up off the card. So now… which do you like better … the one on the left or the one on the right?
This or That?
