This month we are breaking away from featuring only Sale-A-Bration products and branching out to include products from all the catalogs with an emphasis on "Happy Birthday." For my card, I am using the Piece of Cake Stamp Set and Cake Builder Punch (Annual Catalog), paired with the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper ("DSP," Mini Catalog). And I was having so much fun, I made two cards. Check them out.
The card base is an A2 side fold (cut 5.5 x 8.5, scored at 4.25). The first layer is Basic Black Cardstock (cut 5.25 x 4) and the second layer is Smoky Slate Cardstock (cut 5 x 3.75). The DSP, which comes in a 6x6 pack, is strategically cut (2 x 6, then cut down to 2 x 5, creating three 2 x 1 pieces) in order to create the pieces for my second card. To make my "cake" so tall, I stamped the image twice and, after punching out the image, I cut them apart to create this "wildly" tall birthday greeting.
I borrowed the word "Wild" from Animal Outing and "Have A" from the February Paper Pumpkin kit, Lovely Day. The color schemes coordinate with those listed on the DSP: Smoky Slate, Bermuda Bay, Terracotta Tile, and Grapefruit Grove.
Both of these birthday cards are really quick and easy and would have qualified for this month's Simple Stamping challenge as they could be made without the punch or the die cut. Please come back next Wednesday to check out my Simple Stamping project. You can also search #simplestamping to see literally hundreds of examples of quick and easy cards by Stampin' Up! demonstrators across the globe.

NEW MINI CATALOG
(January 3 - June 2, 2020)
If you placed an order from me over the past year, you likely have already received a copy of the 2020 Mini Catalog (formerly known as the Spring Occasions Catalog) in the mail. If you did not receive one, please contact me immediately and let's fix that. If you do not already have a demonstrator, it would be my pleasure to be your enabler (er, I mean demonstrator) and send you a copy of your very own. Chock full of inspiration and ideas.
As always, if you have any questions, or need assistance, contact me in your favorite method of communication. :)
