Hi crafters! I started with a piece of white card and used the Happy Birthday stamp that comes in the
Surprise Big Bold Word Die/Stamp combo set and randomly stamped it all over the card. I inked the stamp with a
clear Pefect Medium and used
Clear Embossing Powder over it, then heated it. Next I sprinkled
Beyond Blue Pixie Sparkles all over the background and spritzed it with water. I moved the colour around with a brush, completely covering the background. Once dry, I used a piece of kitchen roll and wiped the colour off of the stamped words (the embossing powder makes it resist the colour). Next, I cut the
Surprise die out of black card and glued it to the white backing card. I added dries clear glue to the letters one at a time, then sprinkled on
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and tapped off the excess. I allowed it to dry, then added it with mounting foam to the background. I stamped the Happy Birthday with black ink and cut it out with a tag die. I mounted it in the lower corner. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue.
A brilliant card Sue thank you, you cannot go wrong
with the big dies there is always a card at hand.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue. Firstly I think the background is great, I think had I tried I would have found a few incomplete happy birthday sentiments lol mind you those stamping platforms help so much if you're not the best stamper, I was surprised just how brilliant they are, anyway today's inspiration is beautiful, and maybe even worth trying to do a few but with a different colour background for the 'happy birthday' to sit on. Absolutely gorgeous for any gender too. Hope everyone is keeping well and still staying safe xxx
Hello Sue
This is a brilliant idea for a background but like Steph I am sure to mess up some of them. I enjoyed watching Jamie showcase your dies last night though I would have loved seeing you too. Take care everyone x
Good Morning Sue and all.
This is my second try at leaving a comment.
My first one must be somewhere in Cyber Space
A lovely card and quite versatile I would imagine.
Sorry I missed your show last night
Have a good day.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful sample, and I love the effect of the stamped happy birthday in white, yes I read the instructions and saw how you did it, I am sure I have done this technique before so will try again.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Love the card After all of these years I still haven’t tried a heat emboss resist technique
Good morning Sue this is a gorgeous card. I love it. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Love it...Like how depending on products how different the bold sentiment can look.
Hi SUE
Love your colours on your background but card looks good but still not a fan of big dies sorry just my opinion.

Good Morning Sue This is brilliant and you have just given me an idea I never thought of until I saw this card. I was lucky enough to win the Big Bold GREETINGS die on an earlier launch. Now if I stamped Happy Birthday as you have done on the background ... surely my greetings die would substitute your surprise. This I have to try. Thankyou Sue. Can't wait to have a go . Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.
PLEASE KEEP STAYING SAFE 🙏 🙏 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Great technique and result! WakeyL

Hello Sue and all
Love the big dies and this background is perfect. I use my big Birthday so often and will have to try this background too.
I tried unsuccessfully to watch your Create and Craft, says I have lost connection, maybe because I am in Australia but will keep trying
Hugs
