Happy Birthday

I know it is fall, but the weather has been so warm lately it still feels like summer, at least here in St. Louis. So I figured why not embrace it with a quick and easy birthday card featuring the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper pack.

This 12 x12 pack of paper is gorgeous! Just see for yourself.

I chose to use the larger peaches on the white background and paired it with a Calypso Coral card base. I added a layer of Old Olive and then used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to create a double border.

The greeting is stamped in Calypso Coral ink using some of the images from the Biggest Wish stamp set. I created the double border by using two of the Stitched dies that nestle into each other. I cut the Calypso Coral border is as a frame and the white rectangle fits inside of it.

I am finding more and more ways to utilize these great dies and love how they dress up the outside of a card. Be sure to use the Stamparatus to add the greeting in Calypso Coral ink, it makes it so much easier.

I hope you have fun creating! Perhaps today the weather will be a bit cooler. Happy Stamping…..

Anyone remember this great set? I was going through some old cards, organizing my craft space when found this gem in one of my boxes. It is just plain fun! I think this set would look “Fabulous” with the Pattern Party 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper in the annual catalog on page 171 or the Beautifully Penned 12 x 12 paper pack that is FREE with a $50 order. The Beautifully Penned paper is picture on page 7 in the Sale-a-Bration (SAB ) brochure.

We are in the final month of our Sale-a-bration event, so now is a great time to host a catalog, virtual or in person party because everyone who spends $50 will get a FREE stamp set or pack of paper. Hurry this Sale-a-bration event ends on September 30th and all orders must be placed before midnight (MT).
