Oopsie Daisy Birthday Bonanza

Between friends and family, I have just a few (ahem--make that ten!) birthday cards I need to send in the month of July. Needless to say, my stash of birthday cards is severely depleted. So yesterday I took some time to make some birthday cards using my Oopsie Daisy Greetings to Go. I have a lot more to go, but hey, it's a start.

I totally copied Tricia's idea from page 3 of the G2G instructions.

This sentiment makes me giggle.

This one, too!

I love that splatter stamp, and the caterpillar is SO cute!

The white pen is perfect for highlighting. Covers a multitude of sins.

I separated the "HAPPY" from "Anniversary" (Greeting UM) to stretch my creative options.

I can't wait to get back to the basement and make more birthday cards. Oh, and speaking of birthday cards, lookie what I got:

I host the monthly Birthday Card Club Swap, and since my birthday was July 6, I got to open over 20 cards from my creative CS friends. Score! If you'd like a birthday card haul similar to mine above, just join the swap each month. Then, when your birthday rolls around you could be basking in birthday hugs, too!

Creatively yours,
Karen

Roll Out The Candles Tutorial

Roll out the birthday candles with our Picnic Club Stamp print!

As seen on Pinterest, this fun candle birthday card was a snap to make using the Picnic Club Stamp Text Weight Print and string from the Embellishment Pack.

Follow these steps to make your candles.

1. Cut 2x3" rectangles from the text weight print. Trim as many rectangles as you would like. (I rolled seven candles.) Start rolling on the 2" edge.

2. Tighten the paper roll to birthday cake candle width.

3. Brush glue onto the edge of the paper roll and seal to make a cylinder.

4. Cut a 3/4" length of string. Dab glue into one end of the candle roll.

5. Insert the wick into the candle.

6. Stamp a sentiment onto the lower center of a card panel. Starting from the center and working outward, adhere the candles to the panel with Bookbinding Glue.

7. Matte onto card base, embellish, and enjoy giving this card to someone that appreciates fun birthdays!

Roll out the birthday candles for your next handmade card creation. No matches or calories involved!

At Home with Hearth & Home

Today a little birdie told me that a couple of Club Scrap's Hearth & Home items would now be available in GHM, and not only just available, but at a wonderful screamin' deal!! I couldn't keep it to myself...I had to make a project to post. It was like visiting an old friend. I still need to made some layouts with those cool mirrored 8.5x11 prints. But first, here is my Hearth & Home gift box.

I used the Grey Broom Print for the bottom, and the Cream Window Print for the lid of the box.

I use a couple of the Big & Tall Unmounted Rubber Stamps along with other Unmounted Font stamps for decorating the lid.

The Cream Window Print was also used for on the inside, presenting my bracelet gift. . .

. . . sliding it into the box bottom.

Then I used just a portion of the Hearth & Home Warm Birthday Wishes stamp to decorate the box lid and the birthday card I made for inside the box.

 The generously sized Hearth & Home Wood Mounted Stamp makes for a great card front, but of course there's no doubt that it's great for scrapbook pages!

I tucked the card on top of the bracelet, and now my warm birthday wish is all ready to go (hey, do you guys know Tricia's BDay is coming up next month? heheee).

Wishing you an "at home and comfy" feeling today, like the one I get when using Club Scrap's Hearth & Home collection!

Thanks for stopping by!
