Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet?  The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too. 

And guess what?!  They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month!  It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves.  It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration.  There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog.  I'll share more on that soon.  

This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White.  It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly.  It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!  

I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron.  The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate.  Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon! 

The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go.  Click here to get the details on it.  Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

Here's a photo of all you get in the kit; $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards!  All for $28 before shipping. You do need to RSVP by tomorrow, Thursday January 16th to receive it though!

  • Last set of ‘Create your own Background’ swap cards

    Today I'm sharing the last three cards in our July Team card swaps.  I shared the others in this post and this one.  Our theme was to create our own backgrounds; not using designer paper.  They were quite creative!  

    First up today is a cute card made by Candace.  She chose the Little Monkey bundle.  

    July Little Monkey Save

    Can you tell what her background die-cut is?  She used the Aspen Tree dies for her Crumb Cake layer. But underneath that is a shaving cream technique!  It's fun to make and different every time. 

    Tip: to make a shaving cream background, spray the cream on a plate or container and spread it out.  Drop a few drops of ink refill onto the cream. Swirl it in with a knife or utensil.  Press your paper onto the cream.  Remove and wipe off the excess cream.  Let dry.

    You can usually get a few pieces done in the same batch of colored cream. The first few will be darker and the last will get lighter in hue.  It's really fun.

    Next is a CUTE card made by Marla featuring the Supremely Awesome stamp set. She stamped the background and colored the images in with Blends markers.

    Her colors include Real Red, Pebbled Path and Daffodil Delight.  The pizza slices look quite real!

    Next is a pretty card made by Rita. She used the Cheerful Daisies bundle. 

    July Rita Daisy Save

    It's in Berry Burst, Old Olive and White. She stamped her background using the open daisy image; tone on tone. Then added a large daisy die-cut (sponged) and some leaves from the Bough punch. 

    It's a gatefold card. She scored it 2 3/4" from each long end. *card base is 11" X 4 1/4"

    Here are all of the fabulous 'create your own background' swaps from our July swap.

  • 4-Card Wonder – free PDF tutorial, template, measurements & video!

    Before we get to the projects today I want to share the sale Stampin' Up! just announced:

    24 HOUR STAMP SALE Save

    Check over your wish list and see how many stamp sets are on it.  Might be a good time to place an order. With the Bonus Days happening you can double dip!

    Plus the Trucking Along bundle is back in stock!  See it here; get it while you can.  

    I'm extremely excited & proud to share this project with you.  If you know me well, you know I love to create one sheet wonders. I've made quite a few over the last 10 years or so.  I'm so lucky that my husband is willing to create the templates for me; I'm not sure I'd love them as much without his help!  

    I'm calling this project a 4-Card Wonder because it creates 4 cards.  I originally made this for a Team meeting project. I wanted it to be quick, create multiple cards and of course be easy and cute!

    I shared this project & template on my weekly Live video but did record it and it's now on my YouTube channel as well. Scroll down to see the video.  

    Here's the template – it's meant for a 1/2 sheet of card stock – 8 1/2" X 5 1/2".

    Grab your favorite colors of ink and stamp your own background.  Then cut it up using the measurements above!  It's so fun to create your own stamped paper. It's a bit addictive!  

    *Tip – choose stamps that include large & small images. When stamping your paper start with the largest stamps first and finish with the smallest; filling in any empty areas. 

    I chose the Beautiful Balloons bundle.  My colors include Bubble Bath, Berry Burst, Pool Party & Parakeet Party.

    I kept the cards quite simple but you could sure jazz them up a bit more.  Make the cards like mine or this can be a starting point for your creative process.  

    You can watch the video on this project here.  It's the first project. Or click on the photo down below to watch it below.  *Remember to follow me on either my FB page here (Tuesday Live videos) or my YouTube channel here.
