I often feel like I have to use my own LMMS projects for promotional uses so I never have enough birthday cards on hand to use. I think I’ve found my solution for that! I’ve used the Birthday Memories designer series papers from Stampin’ Up! to create this project and followed the lovely card idea from Patsy Waggoner. I also used some Make it Crafty chipboard embellishments for the sentiment and a couple star gems for sparkle. She has some other cute cards on her website too.

Stuck on You Cactus
You hoo! It’s Day 4 of the February Release at Whimsy Stamps. For my project I’ve used Stuck on You Cactus and created a Valentine shaker card. You’ll find this and other great cards for this release on the Whimsy blog.
Jr. Hatter Twinkle
It’s Thursday at Little Miss Muffet Stamps and there is still time to add a project to the Anything Goes Challenge. For my project I’ve used Jr. Hatter Twinkle rubber stamp. I created different layers on the card and behind the image layer, I used a Make it Crafty chipboard embellishment frame.
This is the same image I used when I did the silhouette challenge last week. As I was coloring it black, I immediately stamped it again so I could color her with colors too. Since Valentine paper is on my desk, that is where I got the inspiration from.
Maynard
I have some great news to share today. First, I’ve joined the Whimsy Design Team and am excited to get around to using many of the stamps in my stash. Second, DoveArt Studio stamps are now being manufactured by Whimsy Stamps instead of CC Designs.
Last but not least, today is Day 1 of the February release at Whimsy Stamps! For my project I’ve used Maynard by DoveArt Studios. I thought this guy would be perfect for a black and white valentine card… but I couldn’t resit adding some red in there too so I colored the Hello sentiment.
You’ll spot this guy, plus other DoveArt Studio stamps released in the Whimsy shop. All February products are available now but over the next few days there will be spotlights and inspiration.
Spring Short Stack
Here’s a quick card that I made using the animal segments from Spring Short Stack by Stampendous. I figure since it’s the Year of the Dog that I need to color more dog stamps for good luck. This card was inspired by the Splitcoast Stampers technique “Pop Out Card” by Kelly Jean.
Birthday Memories – Poodles
I’ve used the Birthday Memories designer series papers from Stampin’ Up! to create this project and followed the lovely card layout and idea from the talented Hofkissed. I also used some Make it Crafty chipboard embellishments for the sentiment and some gems for sparkle. I loved how the spots coordinated with the dog theme and she made a very festive birthday card that I wanted to capture.
