Hello friends! My daughter and I were strolling (or more like scrolling) down memory lane looking at some of my old SugarPea Designs cards. She fell in love with THIS card and wanted me to recreate it for her boyfriend's birthday! Wellllll......sometimes we misplace certain retired stamp sets and can't find them, SOOOOOO.....plan B! She still wanted a BBQ/Steak theme since her boyfriends loves steak. I ended up using another retired set, but she loved how it turned out and she said her boyfriend loved it, too!
To begin, I found the retired Dad Jokes: High Steaks Stamp Set in my retired box (see, sometimes I know what I'm doing...ha ha!] and got to work selecting the images that would work for this birthday card. The Dad Jokes: High Steaks Die is still available and I used that to cut the knife and steak.
I used the Char-cut-erie Board Die to anchor the steak and knife along with some fresh "seasoning" using the Rosemary and Berry Die! I just love how it livens up this design! I stamped the sentiments directly on the board using walnut stain distress oxide ink and then mounted it on a black card base that was foiled using the new Regal Flourish Frame Hot Foil Plate. I made this card before this foil background was available for purchase, so I thought I better wait to show it until it was ready! ha ha!
When this steak set was released, I HAD to get some of the glitter "seasoning" that Betsy had used on her samples, but bnt now I can't remember where I got it; I think the brand is Elements. I just love how it ties the "well-seasoned" theme in so well.
It was fun to create this card for my daughter; her and her boyfriend liked it, so win-win! Now......to go on the hunt for my retired SugarPea sets............
Thanks for fluttering by!
