Julie's Creative Stamping: Step Technique using the Pattern Play Bundle "Birthday Card"

This is a fun technique to do with stamp sets that have border images.
It's especially easy if you have a Stamparatus.
I used the Playing with Patterns Suite and the Layering Circle Dies for this fun card!
I love the way that it looks like pattern paper once it's all stamped.
You will have so much fun designing your own looks using this technique.

Project Recipe:

Cuts and Card Base - DSP = Designer Series Paper
Card Base - Coastal Cabana - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4.
Layer 1 - Calypso Coral - 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
Layer 2 - Whisper White - 4 x 5 1/4
Layer 3 - Purple Posey - 3 x 3
Layer 4 - Night of Navy - 2 1/2 x 2 1/2
Layer 5 - Purple Posey - 2 1/2 x 2 1/2
Layer 6 - Night of Navy - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4
Layer 7 - Night of Navy - 1 x 4 1/2
Layer 8 - Whisper White - 4 x 5 1/4
Layer 1 - Adhere to the front of the card base.
Layer 2 - Using the Stamparatus and the two images as shown on the card stamp as follows:
Place onto stamparatus line up then pick up with stamparatus plate.
Ink up with Crushed Curry and stamp onto sheet.
Move plate down a notch, ink up with Calypso Coral and stamp.
Move down a notch ink up with Night of Navy and stamp.
Move down a notch ink up with Purple Posey and stamp.
Move down a notch and ink up with Coastal Cabana, then stamp.
Next line up the scalloped image above the first lined image on the right side of the sheet, pick up with stamparatus plate.
Ink with Coastal Cabana ink then stamp.
Move down a notch ink up with Night of Navy and stamp.
Move down a notch ink up with purple posey then stamp.
Move down a notch, ink up with Calypso Coral then stamp.
Move down a notch ink up with Crushed Curry then stamp.
Now line up the scalloped stamp on the left side of the sheet keeping it even with the already stamped image.
Follow the same pattern of inking up and moving down a notch until it is complete.
Adhere to the card front.
Layer 3 - Cut out a scalloped circle with the layering circle dies. (I used the 3rd from the largest)
Cut ribbon into about 6 - 2 1/2 inch strips then fold in half and apply behind layer 3 on the top and side edges.
Leaving the space where Layer 5 will overlap without ribbon.
Layer 4 - Cut out a straight edged circle using the Layering Circle Dies (I used the 4th from the largest dies)
Using Whisper White craft ink and the Stamparatus, stamp the sentiment, then stamp the bubble images. Set aside to dry.
Once it has dried apply to Layer 3.
Then add Stampin Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the card front about 3/4" from top edge of Layer 2.
Layer 5 - Cut out a scalloped circle using the layering circle dies. (I used the 4th from the largest)
Layer 6 - Cut out a circle using the Layering Circle dies (I used the 5th from the largest die)
Using Whisper White craft ink and the stamparatus, stamp the words happy a few time and the bubble images. Set aside to dry.
Once dry adhere to Layer 5.
Then apply stampin dimensionals to the back and adhere to the card overlapping Layers 3 & 4. (Note do not put dimensioanls where it overlaps).
Layer 7 - Apply Adhesive strips to the back.
Using the Playful Alphabet dies cut out the letters.
Apply letters to the bottom edge of Layer 2 turning each letter just a bit.
Layer 8 - Stamp sentiment in Night of Navy ink in the center of sheet.
Stamp bubble images in the bottom right hand corner.
