Girly Birthday Wishes

Hello friends!  Today I'm sharing a girly birthday card made with the new Girl Power Stamp Set released by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps this month.  What a fun set...it's like playing with paper dolls...the way we used to...ages ago!

Creative Nugget:  Dare 2B Artzy papers were attached and stitched to the card front panels.  The top layer was embossed with a burlap texture plate.  The wavy-haired girl from the Girl Power set was copic colored and dressed up with a paper pieced top and gold embossed sunglasses.  A sentiment from Scripty Thoughts, the May Stamp of the Month, was split and part was white embossed on a banner die cut.  The panels were tied together with a die cut heart and sequins added to finish the card.

The design for this card is from Freshly Made Sketches.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Itty Bitty Blossoms

Hello Sweet Friends...happy Saturday!  Today I'm sharing over at the SNSS Blog using some of the awesome new stamp sets from the May Release!  Both cards feature the Itty Bitty Blossoms stamp set which is soooo much fun.

Creative Nugget:  The small elements in the Itty Bitty Blossoms set are perfect for creating wreaths which is what was done here. There was just enough space in the middle of the wreath to stamp one of the girls from the fun new Girl Power stamp set. The girl was cut with a stitched circle die so the wreath frame could be popped up.  SNSS Alphabet sets can be used to add just the right sentiment...the Rebecca Script Alpha was used on this card.

Love the new Itty Bitty Blossoms paired with Whimsy Bouquet for creating backgrounds!

Creative Nugget:  Flowers from both sets were white embossed...then Katherine Pooler inks were sponged over the embossing to create a vibrant rainbow.  A SNSS retired birthday word die was cut from the panel and then cut five more times to be stacked and popped back into the card.  (You could use any word die you have for this.)  The "Happy" from the Companion Words stamp set was stamped in rainbow colors along the left side.  "To You" is from the new Scripty Thoughts stamp set which is the Stamp of the Month for May and is FREE with a $75 purchase!  (Hint: This will be easy to do since you will want this whole release...it's amazing!)
