Inspiring Birthday

Inspiring Iris is definitely one of my favorite stamp sets and I use it often for birthday, sympathy, get well, etc. cards.  For this one, I paired it with Piece of Cake for my sentiment.

The flowers are two step stamped using Purple Posy and Pear Pizzazz for the petals and the leaves and the layers are die cut with the Stitched Rectangles framelits.  The sentiment was stamped out with the Classic label punch and I added some Wood Textures designer series paper for an accent.

Supplies:

Inspiring Iris, Piece of Cake

Memento Black, Purple Posy, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede ink

Coastal Cabana, Seaside Spray, Whisper White card stock

Wood textures dsp

Stitched Rectangles framelits

Classic label punch

March Stamp Club Projects

It is time for the monthly stamp club projects again!  I used several of the second release Sale-a-bration items for these projects along with a few other items...

The layout features the Painted Seasons designer series paper (SAB 2019) and I have used a retired die for the big shot as well as circle and starburst punches.

The first card showcases the All Adorned stamp set (SA B 2019) and a sentiment from the Needle and Thread set.

Lastly, I used the Piece of Cake stamp set and builder punch, Beauty Abounds stamp set and some Broadway Bound specialty paper for our last card.  The Balmy Blue layer was die cut with the Rectangle Stitched thinlits.

You can always join us for our monthly club or virtual stamp clubs!  Contact me for more information.

Classic Birthday

Here is another sample using the Geared up Garage stamp set and coordinating thinlits and designer series paper.  This time I colored the car in with Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and I again used the Happy Birthday stamp from the Piece of Cake stamp set.

The different patterns of designer series paper from the Classic garage collection were scraps I had leftover from other projects and I decided to use several different ones in the background.  I also added a piece of Galvanized paper that was embossed with the Corrugated dynamic impressions folder to add a little texture.

Geared up Garage, Piece of Cake

Geared Up Birthday

I am continuing with the birthday theme today, this time with a masculine card that uses the Geared up Garage stamp set along with the coordinating Classic Garage designer series paper and Garage Gears thinlits.

On the background, I also used a stamp in the Piece of Cake set and that is where the Happy Birthday comes from as well.  The gears were die cut from a piece of Gold foil sheets and I used a couple different patterns of the Classic Garage designer series paper in the background.

Gingham Birthday

I have a few more samples using the Piece of Cake bundle today (Piece of Cake stamp set and Cake builder punch).  This time behind the cake I used a piece of the Gingham Gala designer series paper that was punched out with the 2 1/2" circle punch.

I added small strips of either Floral Romance specialty paper or Grapefruit Grove foil sheets (SAB 2019) and some Gingham Gala adhesive backed sequins.  One of the cards also has a background of splotches stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink - this stamp is from the Lasting Lily (SAB 2019) stamp set.

Enjoy Every Crumb

There is some fun and colorful designer series paper in the Occasions catalog that coordinates well with the Piece of Cake bundle (stamp set and cake builder punch) called How Sweet it Is.  I chose to use two different patterns from that collection on this card along with the bundle.

The ribbon behind the punched out 2" Gray Granite circle is called Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green reversible ribbon and it is fun to work with.  I colored in my cake and base with markers and added a few Gingham gala adhesive backed sequins as a finishing touch.
