To make the birthday card, I cut a card base 7″ x 10″ and then scored on the 10″ length at 5″ to make a 5 x7″ card front. I cut a 5 x 7″ blue mirrored card stock to glue to the front, then cut the background die on a 5 x 7″ matching blue glitter cardstock. I don’t recommend using glitter cardstock with intricate dies as they usually have an almost plastic backing on them and although the die cut through the paper well, the plastic was tough to pop out through the smaller holes.

I used Collall wet glue from Craftstash.us.com to glue the layers together and accidentally got some of the glue on the paper I was using to work on, and the back of the card got glued to the paper, so to fix this, I cut another 5 x 7″ white piece of cardstock and glued it to the back. I haven’t added the sentiment yet as the card was damp and I didn’t want my ink to smear.

I did add my new stamp to the back of the card …” Made just for you by Sandy” pre inked stamp (you never need to ink it, fyi.) https://www.temu.com/—–abs—–for–and—g-601099609291247.html?_oak_mp_inf=EO%2FzvsWm1ogBGiBhMWVlYTRjZTZlYzc0ZmYyYWU5MTBmNTc3YjIyYTI3NCDS3IWprzI%3D&top_gallery_url=https%3A%2F%2Fimg.kwcdn.com%2Fproduct%2Ffancy%2F24e3cd47-4121-4b34-bab4-4f27a9d3f9cf.jpg&spec_gallery_id=2230520032&refer_page_sn=10009&refer_source=0&freesia_scene=2&_oak_freesia_scene=2&_oak_rec_ext_1=NDQz&_oak_gallery_order=2039430265%2C1538060695%2C127170437%2C1744178713%2C78636834&search_key=made%20for%20you%20stamp&refer_page_el_sn=200049&_x_sessn_id=xushif8h8u&refer_page_name=search_result&refer_page_id=10009_1730689462227_a2l6y1tlsi

I made a Halloween card using the mummy background die and I think I lost my mind, thinking somehow the mummy had cheeks I needed to color in…anyway, that card went into the trash after I showed everyone how bad I am at figuring out how to use a die if I don’t have a photo of the end result right in front of me.
