It’s time for our Friday feature, Buried Treasure. This week’s card from the past first appeared on The Stampin’ Schach on Thursday, June 4th, 2009. I dug up this “pirate’s booty” because of its classic Mojo layout. Click Here to read the original details.
Layout Options: This layout is perfect for cards where you wish to showcase a sentiment. Plus, the vertical panel on the right is tailor-made for a variety of floral sets, such as Fabulous Florets from the Summer Mini or Just Believe from the 2010 – 2011 Idea Book and Catalog. Give it a masculine vibe by using the tall pine from Lovely as a Tree! Go shabby with the Eiffel Tower from Artistic Etchings!
Embellishment Updates: Scrunchy ribbon or lace can add an instant face lift! A fabulous fan-fold flower or rosette on which to perch a bejeweled butterfly adds pizzazz!
Techniques: How beautiful would it be to use Inlaid Embossing or the Faux Silk technique on the back panel! Emboss Resist the image…or even the sentiment! Create your own background paper by randomly stamping!
How about you? Do you have a Buried Treasure you need to revive? I’m already envisioning the possibilities with this card!

Shiver me timbers! (am I using that correctly…I’m a little rusty in “pirate”) You know what makes me smile? That you have named it a “birthday parade”! How fun is that? Love all of your great tips, too! 🙂

Love the layout of your ‘buried treasure’ card.
Thanks for sharing your birthday cards. So many beautiful cards. I’ll be waving again tomorrow during part two of the parade.
Yesterday I thought you would be introducing a new downline member, but now I wonder if you have been hiding a Boxer Triplet!
Wow, such awesome birthday cards! I especially liked Lisa’s, with the cupcakes featured behind a ‘window’. Amazing details!
What fabulous birthday cards. I would be too intimidated to even try to make you a card!
I would have never guessed that you made that one! Your style really has changed so much. It is a beautiful card and I love that the image is the focus. I need to make square cards more often; they really appeal to me for some reason.
Love the “buried treasure”…I still have some of that DSP…it is gorgeous! Fabulous BDay cards too…:)
