As I mentioned yesterday, this week I want to focus on stand-alone stamp sets from the upcoming January – April 2025 Mini Catalogue.
The stamp set I am using today is ONE MORE YEAR. It is a set that focuses on birthdays and is loads of fun.
The simple technique I am featuring today is how to use a small image to create a background layer for a card front.
The stamp set I have chosen has a small image of five starbursts – a bit like fireworks. I used it to stamp a Basic White panel using Petunia Pop ink.
For the rest of the card front, I stamped the birthday cake and coloured it using Stampin’ Blends Pens in Petunia Pop and Ivory. I also used my Crushed Curry Stampin’ Write Marker to colour the candle flames.
I cut the cake and a Petunia Pop background layer using two of the dies from the Nested Essentials Dies.
These were then adhered together and added to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting was stamped in Petunia Pop and die cut using the same set.
I stamped the little fireworks on the card insert and the back of the envelope.
Finally, I added some 2024-2026 In Colour Shimmer Gems for that little bit of bling.
Tomorrow I have a birthday card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from January 7th.
