Mmmmm, I do love playing with new stamps! This card uses a soon-to-be-released set,
Game Night, which will be in the soon-to-be-arriving
2009 Spring/Summer Idea Book & Catalog. It is one of the stamp sets featured in the Preview booklet, along with the coordinating Designer Series Paper,
Jackpot. The Preview booklet is a sneak peek of some of the new stamp sets, papers and accessories. The new catalog will be released on January 19th, which also means that the retiring stamps and accessories will no longer be available after January 18th!
You can't tell in this photo, but the dice from
Game Night are embossed with
White Embossing Powder over
Whisper White Craft ink and then cut out and popped up on
Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from
It's Your Birthday in
Basic Black ink onto a strip of
Whisper White cardstock. then I punched the end of it using the
My Way Punch to create the banner tip. (The
Photo Corner Punch or many of the
Square Punches will also create this banner tip for you.)
I used the
1 3/8" Square Punch to punch pieces from
Jackpot Designer Series Paper and used a strip of
Jackpot DSP to mat the sentiment across the top. These are all layered onto a piece of
Basic Black Textured cardstock, then onto
Whisper White cardstock and finally onto the
Kraft card base. I added a
Jumbo Eyelet with my
Crop-A-Dile to the left edge of the banner and tied on a knot of
Black 1/4"Grosgrain Ribbon. I also put a
Stampin' Dimensional under the end of the banner to give it a lift and bit of curl.

The inside of this card is pretty plain with a roll of the dice across the bottom, stamped in
Sahara Sand ink. I added a sentiment from
It's Your Birthday to the inside that coordinates perfectly with the dice themed birthday card. It reads, "
Life is not a matter of counting years. It's a matter of making years count."

Here is another card I made tonight using the same stamp set,
Game Night, and the same
Jackpot DSP. It is a 5" square card, which I alway love to make - they just seem so different with the square dimensions. I think this card needs a little tweaking, so I will probably play around with it a little tonight and see if I can change it just a bit. I do like the swipes of
Whisper White Craft ink around the edges of the
Kraft base. The chess piece is stamped in
Basic Black Craft ink and then embossed with
Clear Embossing Powder to give it some shine. The sentiment 'game night' is done the same. I used the distressing tool on the
Cutter Kit to rough up the edges of the
Jackpot DSP and the
Whisper White stamped piece. The
Word Window Punch with
Basic Black cardstock was used to create the three tabs. I tied a piece of
Black Gingham ribbon to the corner of the chess piece and popped the sentiment up on
Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here's a peek at the inside of the square card - just a strip of the
Jackpot DSP and the playing card stamp in
Sahara Sand ink. I think I'll used the soon-tobe-created new and improved version of this card as an invite to a Girls Bunco Night at my house next month. I can't wait to play around with this
Game Night stamp set and, especially, the
Jackpot DSP to create some fun table decorations and dice favors!

Jackpot Designer Series Paper, using
Real Red, Basic Black and
So Saffron cardstock. It's so FUN! I need print and add some pictures of my kids playing cards with the grandparents (they're sharks!) and then I'll share.
