How was your weekend? Wasn't the weather just the best? How lovely it was to enjoy some sunshine and warmer temperatures! I could become accustomed to weather like that very quickly, couldn't you?
Today's card uses a very versatile stamp set that could be used to make a card for anyone's birthday. It's called Party With Cake and you can see it on page 7 of the Occasions catalog. It is a totally gender neutral stamp set. It also works for any age, which is great!
Here's the card I made with it...
I guess the Melon Mambo makes this just a bit "girly," but if I had used Crushed Curry instead, the card would be more masculine.
The DSP is called "It's My Party" ( page 5 of the Occasions catalog). I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo, then cut it out with one of the framelits from the Lots of Labels set. I added some knotted thick baker's twine (p. 6 of the Occasions catalog) to give a little "pop" of color and texture
Now for the fun part.... check out the inside!
I'm so happy I finally got out my Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies and tried making this pop-up card. It was so easy to do, I'm sorry I didn't try it earlier. If you come to Coffee and Cards on April 13th at 10:30 am at my house, this is one of the cards we'll be making. Then you can see for yourself just how easy it is to put a card like this together.
How's your "to-do" list looking today? Mine is calling me, so I'm off to start working on it! May it be a sunny day in your world, even if we're getting a bit of rain!
Happy stamping!
Susan
