Stepped Up Happy Birthday sketch idea

Hello Everyone – today I have the Stepped Up Happy Birthday sketch idea for the card I posted on Sunday.

Vicky and I have a new sketch to create with. This one has been a challenge for both of us but we are working with it and hope to give you some ideas how you can use it.

I took the card I created on Sunday and using the same layout and supplies for today’s card. I added 3 strips of card stock in the same colors as the dsp down the side. I also added a circle layer behind the cupcake. Check out this simple idea to step up a card.

Check out this stepped up version of our sketch this week.  Adding some strips of card stock and a layer makes it easy for this Stepped Up Happy Birthday sketch idea.

Did you check out this paper after Sunday’s idea? I have used this paper several times this week already. Obviously I am in love with this bright dsp!

Did you like the idea of adding adding strips of card stock to the side of the dsp? And I think the punched circle make the cupcake stand out.

The strips of card stock add a fun element to the side of the dsp.  Look at how the punched circle makes that cupcake stand out on the Stepped Up Happy Birthday sketch idea.

Here is another idea using the cupcake and sentiment from that stamp set with a different layout. This idea could also be a birthday card by just changing the sentiment. You could even do a 3rd generation stamping of the cupcake to put it in the background of the sentiment.

Now don’t forget to check out Vicky’s card for today! I can’t wait to see how she steps up her daisy!

Thanks for visiting me today and checking out my Stepped Up Happy Birthday sketch idea. I hope it has inspired you to play with your dsp. Have a Terrific Tuesday!
