A Dapper Day Birthday Card ~ FMS327

The best thing about the True Gentleman suite is the Designer Series Paper.  Or, maybe the corduroy Ribbon.  Then there's the buttons.  Okay, I guess I love it all!   The products I used on this card are from the True Gentleman suite in the Occasions catalog.  Save 10% when you purchase the coordinating Truly Tailored stamp set and punch as a bundle!

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Cut Tranquil Tide card stock into a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card base.  Adhere a 4" x 5 1/2" piece of Night of Navy card stock with SNAIL.  

Cut a 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla card stock and a 2 1/2' x 3 3/4" piece of the True Gentleman DSP.  To angle the Designer Paper, make a small mark a little less than half way down on the left side of the DSP with a pencil.  Line up that mark and the top right corner with the cutting "gutter" on your paper trimmer and trim.  Adhere this to the Very Vanilla card stock and add a piece of Night of Navy 3/8" Corduroy Ribbon.  

Stamp the "dapper day" sentiment on a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock and cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and a Tranquil Tide scallop circle using the Layering Circles Framelits.  I love that these two framelit sets work so well together!  Re-stamp the mustache using Chocolate Chip ink and cut out by hand.  I used some of the small edges of my Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the mustache for a bit of dimension.  

Finally, using Stampin' Dimensionals adhere the sentiment to the front of the card.  

This card came together pretty quickly with the help of the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week.
