Check out this fun set of cards I made featuring the Two-Toned Flora stamp set from the Spring mini catalog for the March 2023 Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! I paired it with the Go-To Greetings stamp set to make this clean and simple (CAS) card set.
This month on the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop we are featuring birthday cards as our theme. I decided to try out a new technique that has caught my eye recently on Pinterest called the Plus Sign One-Sheet Wonder. Have you seen this technique? So fun! This Christmas card set by Nancy Thompson is fantastic!
This is how I stamped my sheet that was cut to 10" x 7-1/2" (which I then cut into 4 pieces that are 5" x 3-3/4"). I used so many colors of ink: Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Melon Mambo, Polished Pink, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. Once the pieces were cut, I mixed and matched them with Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape, Orchid Oasis and Polished Pink card stock for the card bases, mat and scalloped oval punch behind the sentiment strip. The Happy Birthday sentiments were all inked with Starry Sky ink.
The products I used can be seen above. To find out more about these items or to place an online order, please click on any image to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code NK4X4VC3* with your online order at checkout through March 30th).
Here is a close-up of the two cards that are landscape in orientation.
And here are the two portrait orientation cards. Didn't they turn out great? I hope you give this technique a try! For more birthday inspiration, be sure to follow along on the blog hop using the links below.
