Happy Birthday

  Hi Everyone, 

This new Mr. Earl's Happy Birthday greeting is perfect for anyone's birthday.  The big, chunky letters make it super fun to color and I love the star that dots the "i"!  

That star was the inspiration for my background that I made using a star embossing folder and the Interlocking Star Background.

Who's more festive than our own Birthday Party Pig?  No one! So of course, he had to make an appearance on my card.  I did a bit of fussy cutting and added some glitter to his balloon too.

Thanks for stopping by!

  Hi Everyone,

I'm a little early with my Father's Day card share, but if you love the fun greeting, this gives you plenty of time to order it for your own stamping!

The Nailed It! Father's Day Greeting is perfect for those handy dads out there.  I really respect and appreciate the folks that have that specific know-how, because that isn't me at all!  

I stamped and die cut the sentiment, adding some sponging to match the base and Ruler.  I decorated the embossed gear themed background with some metal brads and added some tools that were fussy cut from the Tool Christmas Stocking to finish it off. 

Lots of fun new stamps were recently released and you can find them all right here!

Happy Stamping!

S'more Birthday Wishes

  Hi Everyone, 

During the height of Covid, when we were all socializing outside and not sharing food, one of the things I did was make up individual packets of ingredients for people to make their own s'mores at our fire pit.  That ended up being my inspiration for today's card share.  

The colored card layers represent the chocolate, marshmallow and graham cracker that make up the delicious treat, and the twine is what I used to close up the cellophane bag.  I struggle for a while to choose an embossing folder for the background and eventually settled on using this Darice brand one. 

The S'more Birthday Greeting is newly released from DRS Designs and I stamped and fussy cut the Smooshed S'more to match.

I couldn't resist really playing off the deliciousness concept, so I took a chomp out of the corner of the S'more card by using a scallop punch on all the layers. 

Sending sweet wishes your way for a lovely spring day!

Birthday Toast

  Hi Everyone, 

I wish I could put into words how much I LOVE these new stamps from DRS Designs! Super cute and punny are my absolute favorite and these are it in spades :)

I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Party Toast, and stamped and die cut the Birthday Toast Greeting before I created the background.  Wanting to make it match his polka dot hat, I inked up some bubble wrap and used that for my stamp. Green, yellow, orange and pink were the colors I chose to make that bubbly, confetti like look.  

I added a die cut frame and attached it, along with the popped-up image and sentiment to an embossed dot panel.

Cheers all around!  Now go get yourself that adorable, buttery toast stamp!
