It is time for the Joy of Sets monthly blog hop where our theme is FONTS-amental!!!! Love this title. I love a good font but am strictly short and to the point when adding sentiments to a card. I have lots stamp sets with but find myself reaching for the same few tried and tested phrases every time. So for this challenge I have taken a sentiment only stamp set and used every one of the sentiments to make a card.
To recreate the FONTS-amental card you will need:
Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pacific Point – 4⅞” by 3¼”
Whisper White – 4⅝” by 3”
Pear Pizzazz – 5⅞” by 1”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
I mounted all the stamps from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set onto acrylic blocks and started stamping them in either Bermuda Bay ink, Pacific Point ink or Pear Pizzazz ink starting with the ‘Awesome at any age’ in the centre.

When all the sentiments had been stamped on the smallest Whisper White panel I added the stamped panel to the Pacific Point layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I ran the strip of Pear Pizzazz card through my die cutting machine with the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder. I added the embossed strip diagonally across the front of the Bermuda Bay card base using the same liquid adhesive.

The stamped layer was then added to the card front using Dimensionals.

I toyed with adding some gems or some ribbon but in the end I decided to leave well alone.
