The Stamps of Life Greeting4birthday Archives

Hello and Happy Saturday! I hope everyone survived Black Friday!! I don’t really participate in Black Friday unless it’s from my computer but I did venture out to make one annual purchase at the best price of the year. I posted about it on my Facebook page if you want to pop over and check it out:)

While I was working on my previous card, one patterned paper caught my eye and sparked an idea for another card! I love when that happens! The muted butterflies in this paper made me think that it would be perfect to stamp on. So I inked up a new set from Mama Elephant.

Isn’t it adorable? I loved the floral print that I chose for the envelope liner and decided to incorporate some of those colors onto the card. The sentiment is stamped in Bermuda Bay, the shooting stars in Calypso Coral, and the mini stars in Summer Starfruit. Bright happy birthday colors!

I added a sweet sentiment to the inside.

Did you notice how the shooting stars pop off the page?

I added a very liberal dosage of Wink of Stella to the sentiment and all of the stars. I think I’m in love with Wink of Stella. I had better stock up!! lol

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I had a very enjoyable day with my family and got two trees set up and one decorated! Operation Christmas Decoration is in full swing at my house and will be done very soon, I love seeing all the sparkly things!!

Have a wonderful day, I hope it is full of merry cheer as we transition from Thanksgiving into Christmas! It’s going to be a blast!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Welcome Friends!

I hope you all have a wonderful day today, celebrating life’s blessings and bounty!

My fall inspired mojo seems to have flown the coop so I pulled out a brand new stamp and die set from Simon Says Stamp, called Celebrate. I love the clean fonts in this set, perfect for repeat stamping! I’m also using a simple sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, it’s very versatile!

I just love being able to fill the whole panel with words and highlight just a few! And aren’t the balloons adorable? And the balloon strings? Soooo fun!

I stamped my balloons, die cut them out with my Big Shot, popped them up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added Wink of Stella to the two smaller ones…because the sparkle is the perfect touch! I added three small sprinkles in coordinating colors for the final pop.

And I found a fun sentiment in a set by The Stamps of Life for the inside:

It’s so fun to mix products from different companies and still coordinate so well!
