Your Cat thinks of you this way...

 

I mean, could you have a better pairing of stamps? The Technique Junkies Cat Lady stamp is probably what we look like to our feline friends...at least in my imagination! The sentiment is from the Time with Cats set - our fun and snarky cat-centric nod to furry little sociopaths. The background is the Carnations Background. The stamps may be found here:

Star and Flourish Birthday | Birthday Card | 4th of July Shaker Card

Happy Saturday, everyone. 

I know...it's February...it's cold...it's snowy but, before you know it, it will be summer, picnics, and July 4th festivities at the beach. 

When I first saw the Star and Flourish Birthday stamp, I immediately thought of America's birthday and knew I had to make this for someone I know who has a birthday on July 4th.  But this idea would also be great as an invite to any July 4th party or picnic and can also be changed up for anyone's birthday by using birthday-themed paper.  

• I made my card base using blue cardstock, 5.75" x 11.5", scored at 5.75" on the long side, to make my 5.75" square card base.  
• I cut a piece of white cardstock, 5" x 5", stamped Star and Flourish Birthday in the center and adhered it to my card front. 
• I cut my card front - a piece of July 4th paper - and die-cut the center using a rectangle die.  
• I adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the July 4th paper and then I added foam tape around the 4 sides and around the 4 sides of the inside rectangle.
• I placed my shaker elements - gold stars and red and blue micro beads - on top of the Star and Flourish Birthday image and then adhered my card front over them.
• I used the next size rectangle die to die-cut a frame, which I adhered around the sentiment along with some red, white, and blue enamel dots.
• To finish the card off, I cut a piece of white cardstock, 5.5" square, stamped Kisses and Wishes in black, and adhered to the inside of the card.  The two images work perfectly together with the stars in each image. 
  
  
  

So, what do you guys think of this idea?  If you make it, let me know...I'd love to see it.  Until next time...

Hugs from Brasil.

Just Add Salt

 The new A Margarita stamp is a definite LOL!  I used the illustration from an earlier release, Magician's Hat, masking the original sentiment to pair with this new musing.  I stamped the background with Painted Background in two shades of green, flipping the cardstock in between.  Die cut a slice of lime to finish it off.  Get all the new February release stamps as well as earlier gems at TechniqueJunkies.com.  Use my code TJ10FAITH for 10% off your order!

Happy Birthday!

Pam here on this Wednesday!!! Today I am showcasing the Star and Flourish Birthday sentiment as well as the Giraffe Border on the first creation! Great new versatile stamps…so quick and easy to create with!

The giraffes were stamped repeatedly on a piece of watercolor paper which I then did ink, spray & smash on. Dried it with heat tool and then sprayed water on and let air dry. The same was done with the sentiment.

My second card was quick to put together with some fun designer paper I had laying around. Added some ribbon and a die cut star and we will call it complete.
