STAMPlorations Perfect Pairs: Party and Wishes

 Hello and welcome!

Have you seen the August release at STAMPlorations?

It's called Perfect Pairs. It's a combination of a sentiment

stamp and small background stamp. There's also 

coordinating ephemera cuts that go, well, perfectly with

the set, that you can also purchase!

I'm using the Party and Wishes set along with the Ephemera cuts.

For my first card, I stamped the background stamp in a zig zag

pattern using similar ink colors that matched that party hat.

(Because being me, I find CAS cards hard to make.

All that white space! But I tried! LOL!) I tore a strip of

white cardstock, stamped the sentiment at the bottom,

and adhered that and the party hat onto my card base.

So, this probably took about 10-12 minutes to make.

That's really good for me, as my cards usually take at

least 2-3 hours to make. 😁

For my second card, I masked off an area on my card base, and

stamped the background stamp on a diagonal then removed the

mask. I masked off part of the sentiment stamp and stamped

just the word Celebrate in the bottom right. I added gold Stickles

over all the sprinkles on the cupcake and once dry, adhered

with foam squares. Not including the drying time for the Stickles,

this came together in about 5-6 minutes. A record for me!! 

You can check out the Perfect Pairs line at the STAMPlorations store!
