Birthday Postage Sampler Card by Larissa Heskett

Celebrate a Birthday!

Today we are sharing a cheerful birthday card by Larissa using our newest birthday themed products! 

She starts out by die cutting the fun background panel using our Card Layout 3 Die Set and Birthday Time Paper Pad. She used the die to cut out the same shape from several different pages of the patterned paper and then arranged them inside the outer frame to create a fun and colorful birthday themed background! 

Next she stamped and colored the cute little cupcake using the Birthday Postage Sampler Stamp Set. She layered the cupcake onto a postage stamp that was cut out using our Postage Stamp Layout Die Set. This die set creates a whole panel of postage stamps but you can cut them apart to use them as individual stamps and that is what Larissa did for her card today! She added the cupcake along with the word celebrate and the five cents from the Birthday Postage Sampler Stamp Set. 

Behind the cupcake stamp she created a cute little shaker shape using small rounded rectangles that were cut out from iridescent vellum using our Basic Frames Die Set. She created a pocket with the two rectangles, added sparkly shapes inside and stitched the edges. What a fun way to add a special touch to the birthday card! 

We hope this project has given you some ideas on how to add some fun and sparkle to make a birthday card feel special!

Dog Birthday Party Tags by Diane Morales

Birthday Tags!! 

Make a birthday gift special by adding a custom gift tag! Today we are sharing a duo of tags by Diane using our our Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set and Birthday Time Paper Pad. 

She started by coloring those cute little puppies from the Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set, using colors that went with the Birthday Time Paper Pad. She cut the pups out using the coordinating Dog Birthday Party Die Set before creating her tags. 

Next, she chose papers from the Birthday Time Paper Pad and cut out two notched rectangles using the Basic Frames Die Set and two circles using the Circle Frames Die Set. She layered these shapes to create her tags, punching a small hole into the top of each rectangle and adding some baker's twine.

She added the cute pups onto the patterned circles using dimensional adhesive and added a couple of white epoxy dots for a finishing touch.

These sweet little tags would be perfect for adding onto a gift, especially if the recipient is a dog lover!

We hope this project inspires you to create some shaped tags with our cute little birthday images!

Happy Hyacinth Hello Card by Samantha Mann

Send a Happy Hello!

Do you know someone who needs a little happiness? Make their day by sending a happy hello! Today we are sharing a card by Samantha featuring our Hyacinth Stamp Set that is perfect for sending smiles!

To create this card Samantha stamped the big floral bloom from our Hyacinth Stamp Set multiple times. She colored all the blooms in bright bold purples using watercolor markers. Then she added white paint splatters over the top for a fun texture. She cut out all the blooms to create a whole garden of flowers on her card! 

Next, she used our Petite Flowers Stencil with white texture paste along the upper corner and down the right side of her background. Then she inked on the opposite side with purple, fading it onto the stenciled area.  

She layered her flowers over the top of the background, using dimensional adhesive on some of them to create a bit of height. She also cut one of the flowers into two pieces and split it, adhering one piece on each edge. Such a fun effect! 

The finishing touch was the sentiment, which she embossed in white onto a circle that was cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. She then blended green inks over the top to tie it in with the color of the flower stems. 

We hope you have been inspired by this card to create some floral cards and send them to friends! Everyone needs to be sent some flowers now and then!

You're a Treasure Card by Donna Idlet

You're a Treasure!

Today we are sharing a fabulous beach card by Donna! This card features our new Card Layout 4 Die Set along with our Newton's Sand Dollar Stamp Set and our Seaside Paper Pad. 

To create the fun background patterns on this card, Donna chose three prints from our Seaside Paper Pad that she thought went well together. She cut each of the papers out using the new Card Layout 4 Die Set. She used the same die set to cut out the navy colored frame. 

For the images on this card she chose the kitty with the giant sand dollar from the Newton's Sand Dollar Stamp Set and colored the kitty in soft neutral tones that went perfectly with the paper. She also stamped and colored the tiny seashells using the same stamp set.  She die cut the images using the coordinating Newton's Sand Dollar Die Set and added them to the card.

Then stamped the sentiment "You're a treasure!" onto a white circle that was die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set to complete the card. 

This simple card is quick and easy to make and is perfect for sending a smile to a friend this summer! To see more beautiful creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!
