Painted Glass birthday card with Share What You Love paper and doily from Stampin' Up!

A Painted Glass Birthday

Today I have a simple birthday card featuring the Painted Glass stamp set. I might add that it features the beautiful Love What You Do designer series paper, but only because this rose pattern is my favorite from this package.

Birthday card using Painted Glass stamp set by Paula Cannon for Vintage and Fresh.

I took my color cue from the designer series paper. The card base is Rich Razzleberry and the mat for the paper is Old Olive. To begin, I stamped the circle pattern from Painted Glass on a small piece of Whisper White card stock using Old Olive ink, then over-stamped the birthday greeting with  Memento Black ink. Next, I cut out the image with Layering Circles dies, and cut a small scallop border using Rich Razzleberry.

Embroidery hoop card with Needle & Thread stamp set, featuring Needlepoint Nook mini buttons.

Needlepoint Nook for an Embroidery Sampler

I love the Needlepoint Nook suite in the Occasions catalog! Probably because I used to do a lot of embroidery, but also because it has a slightly vintage and slightly fresh look. The Needle & Thread stamp set is also one of Stampin’ Up’s DistINKtive stamps. The images look like real, stitched, embroidery.

One idea I knew I wanted to try was to make a little embroidery hoop sampler. The easy part was using the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and the Layering Circle Framelits to make the hoop. Deciding on the images and pattern for the sampler took a few tries. That’s what scrap paper is for!
