Birthday Party-Block Party


Here is the second of the three cards that I made for Andi’s I Haven’t Used It swap on SCS.  We were to ink up some stamps that have never seen ink or it has been a long time since they have been used.  This is another set that I do not remember when I last used this retired set, if it has ever seen ink by me.  I too think I got this from my demo after it retired when we get to chose one stamp set for every $50 ordered at her retirement party—I guess I placed some significant orders during Nancy's retirement parties J

I stamped the image twice—once in Not Quite Navy and a second time in Crumb Cake.  I then cut out the Happy Birthday section from the Crumb Cake image and placed it over the same words on the Navy sentiment.

  2. I have this same set and they've never seen ink either. But you've just provided the little nudge I think I needed. Great idea & layout for this one. I like the color combo too. Cute buttons also!

  5. It's amazing what great stuff you can come up with when forced to use it. I have seen that stamp before and never been inspired by it, but your card looks great!!

  6. Oh, I love that stamp (and that's one I don't have). I like how you have the crumb cake and not quite navy colors both on the image. Great idea to cut out the crumb cake color- it's much easier than trying to ink up the stamp using markers.
