Hello Friends,

Do you like to challenge yourself to use your Paper Craft Supplies in unexpected ways?  I do.  Starting September 5, 2018, the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog goes live.  That's less than a week away!  Because I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I was able to order from the Holiday Catalog early.  I fell in love with the darling Sweetly Stitched Dies on page 25.  Combined with the Nothing Sweeter Stamp set I will be able to make all sorts of Holiday Cards and tags.  I'll even be able to easily stretch them into Valentine's day.  But my challenge to myself was to see if the Sweetly Stitched dies could be used year around, because they are absolutely adorable!  Answer: Yes, they absolutely can be used year around.  For today's Card, focused on the present and  trim dies to make this adorable Birthday Card.  The Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set joins together with the Sweetly Stitched Dies to make this whimsical Birthday Card.

The stitched rick rack and the stitched present charmed the socks off me.  They took an already playful card over the top.  Just look at the way the stitched rick rack makes the little yellow flowers look like they are dancing across the card!

My Color Combo for today's card is Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo.

And...the inside is almost as cute as the front of the card.

I used the hinged system of my Stamparatus to stamp Happy Birthday 3 times in a neat row.

 Today and Tommorrow

That's All the Time Left

Hello Friends,

 Have you ever watched the Up animated film?  It will have you roaring with laughter one moment and grabbing for a box of tissue the next.  Up is a heart warming tale truly worth watching.  It comes as no surprise to me that Up was named the #1 Animated Film of the year in 2009.  Anyway, all that to say that today's Shadow Box Card was inspired by the Up Film.

Do you have a huge selection of stamp sets?  Don't be afraid to mix them up and combine them to make something truly original.  That's what I did in making today's Shadow Box Card for our Pastor and his lovely wife.  By using a combination of Stamp sets, I was able to create a card to celebrate their 20 years of service and to congratulate them on a new adventure.  They started our church 20 years ago and are now moving on to a new position, a new adventure.

I love that I was able to say exactly what I wanted to say by combining stamp sets.  Scroll to the bottom of the post for a complete list on Card supplies.  And watch for a Shadow Box Video Tutorial coming up soon here at Stamping Country.  I used an array of beautiful Stampin' Blends to color my balloons.

The Up Film wasn't my only card inspiration.  This card sketch by Freshly Made Sketches gave me a jump start for my card front.
