Good Day Crafty Friends
Welcome to the One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop for March - BRING ON THE BIRTHDAYS. You are currently visiting Jackie Aitken in Perth, Western Australia. This month the Design Team are sharing inspirational and creative projects with a Birthday Theme. Be sure to follow the hop all the way through as 22 amazingly talented Demonstrators from all over the world share inspiring idea's and birthday themed creations.
I have a few projects to share with you today, all created using the Sweetest Thing Bundle (item 150568) which can be found in the Occasions Catalogue on Pages 14 & 15. I have taken my inspiration from The How Sweet It Is DSP (item 148568) for this collection of cards. I totally love the bright, bold colour palette and the fun patterns....those gummy bears and gumball machines are seriously too dang cute!
The first card features fussy cut DSP cupcakes with the greeting "treats" stamped in Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Grapefruit Grove inks. The coordinating framelits were used to die cut the greetings, which were then adhered to the card front with dimensionals.
For the next card, I've used more DSP images, this time replacing the cupcakes with Candy Jars. AND no fussy cutting required!!! The Jar of Sweets Framelits not only die cut the stamped images but also images on some sheets of the DSP.
The third card also features those super cute Candy Jar images, they are just too cute not to use and hey, someone has done all the work for me, all I had to do was put my arm to work on the Big Shot lol. I have omitted the Heat Embossed sentiment for this card, opting to stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Amazing Life Stamp Set (item 148750) onto a panel of whisper white card stock in Smoky Slate ink.
To create the two little Jar shaped cards I have taken a small note card and used one of the Jar of Sweets Framelits to partial die cut on the fold. Then, a fussy cut image from the DSP has been added to the front of the shaped card base then finished off with a heat embossed sentiment.
Two little note cards with sewn banners are the final two projects I have to share today. I totally love these sized note cards, which were inspired by fellow Artisan Design Team member, Lauren Alarid. Lauren frequently makes the most adorable note cards, which are little miniature works of art and places them in her daughters lunchbox. They are also the perfect size to attach to a bouquet of flowers, box of chocolates or bottle of wine. You can find Lauren's creations on her blog - Crafty Little Peach.
That is all from me today crafty friends. Thanks so much for stopping by and blog hopping with the One Stamp At A Time Team. Up next in the Hop is Pam Staples with her gorgeous creations - Enjoy!
Until next time, stay awesome & stay crafty xx
