Hey there! Popping in to share a pair of cards today. I fell hard for the new World’s Greatest trophy die and stamps from this most recent release, and wanted to use them to make a pair of birthday cards. I love that you can use that fun trophy to make both masculine AND feminine cards, and I always need more birthday cards, so I decided to make one of each today!
First up, I die cut this trophy from silver glitter card stock. Oh my word, how fun is that?!! It’s soooo pretty in real life! And then, of course, I topped it with flowers, which made it even prettier!!
I used the newly released Best Bouquet Base die and stamps, to create that big floral spray, and then added a few additional die cut flowers that I made with the Best Bouquet Details dies.
PRO TIP: I was able to fluff out the bouquet and add more fullness over on the right side of my bouquet, to balance out the trophy positioning on the left, by adding those extra die cut flowers. And by die cutting them in the same colors that I’d stamped on the rest of the bouquet, the die cuts blend right in and look like they’re a part of the whole bouquet!
Next up, the guy card….I die cut the trophy from a slate gray card stock and stamped it with the corresponding gray ink. Then, I topped it with gray sentiments from World’s Greatest Sentiments that were die cut and stamped.
I stamped the Big Yay! starburst rays on the background up at the top, and then die cut and stamped the Big Yay! I also added the Star Struck die cut, which I cut from super shiny silver card stock.
PRO TIP: I stamped those starburst rays in a soft shade of blue ink, so that it wouldn’t show a whole lot, through the stars in the die cut. This way, the stars really stand out, and aren’t visually confusing with a bunch of lines showing through the star centers.
The die cut stars that pop out of the big cluster, make the perfect little accents on the trophy, down at the bottom of the card, and help fill out the star cluster, as well.
Did you get any of these new sets when they were released? Or have they just moved up your wish list? Would love to hear what you’re loving the most!
Have a great day,
Dawn
