Let's celebrate!

Hello friends

1st June already!  I can hardly believe it!  The year is flying by so quickly!

There is good news every 1st of the month though - it is time to show you the gorgeous new release goodies from wonderful

Whimsy Stamps

Today's new release goodie is so clever it makes two cards for you!

To make this card I die cut a rectangle of kraft card with the 

Hand Stitched Nested Rectangles 

Next I blended Distress Oxides in Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet over a piece of kraft card and die cut it with the 

Checker Background Die 

- I saved all the squares as they are needed for the second card!

I flicked water and Perfect Pearls over the coloured kraft card and dried it with a heat tool.  I then fixed the die cut to the rectangle base set aside earlier.

I used the 

Celebrate Word and Shadow Die Set 

to create the sentiment from kraft card and a leftover piece of inky card. 

Finally I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the 

You're My Jolly Clear Stamps 

onto kraft card and die cut it with the 

Quick Strips Die Set

I fixed both sentiments to the card design as shown

To make this card I die cut a rectangle of kraft card with the 

Hand Stitched Nested Rectangles 

Then with the 

Checker Background Die 

I die cut another piece of Kraft card and fixed it to the first rectangle.

I then placed all the little squares left over from the first card I made into the gaps left by the 

Checker Background Die

I used the 

Celebrate Word and Shadow Die Set 

to create the sentiment from kraft card and a leftover piece of inky card. 

Finally I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the 

You're My Jolly Clear Stamps 

onto kraft card and die cut it with the 

Quick Strips Die Set

I fixed both sentiments to the card design as shown.

So there you have it - two really straightforward cards to make with very little waste!
