Birthday Card with Stamp of the Month

I have a cousin with an upcoming birthday (you can probably tell from the card it's November 14) and I just love how well the Typeset paper coordinates with the Stamp of the Month for November, Cherish the Day. The foundry pin clips and milepost shapes complemented the theme well.

 This is an inside view of the card; using the My Acrylix Card Chatter-Birthday stamp set.

Step-by-step Instructions:

1)     Fold the 5 1/2" x 8-1/2" neutral cardstock in half to form card base.

2)     Attach the B&T paper onto front of card.

3)     Stamp on the four 1-7/8" x 1-7/8" neutral cardstock squares.

5)     Score the 9" x 2" colored cardstock strip with scoring blade or bone folder and fold along scored lines.
Start at the end of the strip and score at 2", 2-3/4", 3-1/2", and 4-1/4".

6)     Position 3/4" x 4-1/4" colored cardstock strip to the front of the folded cardstock base one inch from the bottom. Glue down ends and fix in place with brads. This will be the horizontal strip.

August Stamp of the Month

I'm really having fun with this month's Stamp of the Month, "Wicked." When paired with the new Roxie paper, you can get away with doing more than just Halloween!

First gathering card!

My first gathering was in June and this is the cute card we made. It uses the Lucky Paper and the My Acrylix Enjoy Life stamp set. A wood button is used to embellish. The brown trim is actually a Kraft Color-Ready Border; an adhesive backed border that is precut. What a time saver! They come in a package of 50 assorted at a great price!

A Rosy Card

This card uses a stamped, adhesive backed, canvas button that can be purchased on my website: allieweston.myctmh.com. And the rose is from the My Acrylix Rosy Regards stamp set. The rose has been stamped twice and then cut to give some dimention to the flower. The second rose was cut smaller and applied directly on top of the first with foam tape.

Ryan's 4th Birthday Card

Wings Thank you Card

This card was designed with the CTMH Wings Level 2 Paper Packet and the butterfly is from the My Acrylix Fill in the Blank stamp set. This is a 5 x 7 size card.
