Birthday Smiles & Fishtail Banners Birthday Scrapbook Layout

I'm super excited to officially share a scrapbook layout using the Birthday Smiles stamp set along with the new Fishtail Banners dies!

I still had a few photos to scrapbook from an ice cream party my daughter had a number of years ago so when it came time to play with these stamps, I immediately knew the project I wanted to use them on!  I love how they look stamped out in matching inks with Doodlebug's Petite Prints Collection.

Here's an close-up view of how I used the fishtail banners on this layout.  I love how they look layered with one another and cut from different widths of patterned paper!  

To add a fun detail to the ice cream cones and cupcake, I dressed them up with Doodlebug Sprinkles.

Here's another look at the dies.  The little cutout tick marks make it easy to line up your paper strips no matter what the width.  They can create pennants and banners up to 4-1/4 inches wide from any basic strip of paper.  For those that missed it, I shared a video last week on how these dies work on our YouTube channel HERE.  :)
 

I hope I've inspired you to try stamping on your scrapbook layouts.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  :)

Furever Friends: Birthday Kitty Card Using a Grid Design

Hi there!  Today I have one last Furever Friends card I'm excited to share.

For this card I chose to go with a gird design and created my own tone-on-tone prints with the tuna can and paw print images in the stamp set using Peacock Feathers and Barn Door distress inks.  I just love how these colors look together when paired with the kraft cardstock!

I colored my little kitty to have a little bit of a Siamese flair which just happened to tie in my kraft background.  I realized after taking my photos that I had failed to draw in the missing whiskers which I had trimmed off the cat and mouse.  They are there now, but unfortunately you'll have to use your imagination with these photos.  ;)

Starting tomorrow I have some Harvest Happiness cards to share and then on Friday I will be announcing my new design team.  I can't wait for you guys to meet these talented ladies (if you don't know them already).  ;)
