Card featuring a dragon using Stampin' Up products

A Dragon makes a Magical Day

Today I have been making a quick birthday card for a friend.  She loves all things dragon and has quite a collection going so the Magical Day stamp set was the obvious choice for her birthday card.

Making the card

I started by stamping the gorgeous dragon onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock before die cutting it out using the co-ordinating Magical Mates Framelit Dies and my Big Shot. I die cut a square from Whisper White cardstock using the Layering Squares dies and a slightly larger scalloped circle from scrap Basic Gray cardstock using the same set of dies.

I coloured the dragon using Stampin’ Blends in light & dark Rich Razzelberry, light & dark Bermuda Bay and dark Pool Party.  When the image was fully coloured I added the dragon to the Whisper White square and glued this to the Basic Gray scalloped square die cut using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I cut a 4⅛” by 1” strip of the Bermuda Bay paper from the Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper stack. I added this strip to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the square topper over the gorgeous glimmer strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was added below in Archival Basic Gray ink.

I think this simple card is so pretty. I really hope my friend likes it.
