  1. Glue the large piece of DSP to the card base.

  1. Using Paper Snips, cut out the Happy Birthday sentiment, leaving a very thin white border around the outside edge.
  1. Stamp the starburst image onto the scrap Sahara Sand cardstock 3 times using Versamark ink. Shake the white embossing powder overtop, flick off the excess, and heat set using your Heat Tool. Punch each one out using the 1/2” Circle Punch.
  1. Die cut the Emerald Envy sentiment using the Big Shot and the square framelit that is approximately the same size as the Crushed Curry cardstock..
  1. Glue the die cut sentiment to the Crushed Curry cardstock on a slight angle, so that they are slightly offset. Adhere the layer to the card, making sure that the Whisper White layer is straight with the sides of the card.
  1. Adhere the Sahara Sand starbursts to the card using Fast Fuse adhesive, and the large Happy Birthday using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
