An Age Awareness Paper Pumpkin Birthday

The last couple of days I haven't been able to play in my stamp room.  I've wanted to, but there was just too much household things to be working on.  My husband and I are working on getting a room in our basement finished by the end of this month so that our son will have a room when he moves back home for awhile.  So, I've been painting and helping out with other jobs as needed.

However, I did make it in my stamp room long enough to play today!  I've been wanting to do something with the remnants of the star sheet that came with the July Paper Pumpkin kit.  I'm pretty pleased with the results.

I used the new Photopolymer stamp set Age Awareness and the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack, a bit of Blackberry Bliss 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and some Basic Jewels Rhinestones to finish the look.  The only trouble with this card is that it's sorta blinding!  That silver paper is SHINY.  

Thanks again for stopping by!

Happy stamping.

Paper Pumpkin Birthday

When I first opened up my July Paper Pumpkin kit and saw the stars that came with it, I knew that I wanted to find a way to use the inside of the stars.  Here is what I came up with (so far that is!).

I ran the card front through the Big Shot using the Large Polka Dot TIEF and then glued on stars in the center of a row of the polka dots.  The stamp set that came with the July kit is SO versatile!  I placed the happy image in front of the birthday image and stamped them in Island Indigo ink onto a strip of Whisper White card stock.  A strip of Tangelo Twist and Island Indigo card stock as well as the striped Smoky Slate sticker that came with the kit finishes off the look.

Quick and easy, and I think worthy of a masculine card!
