HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH CANDY CANES DIES

June 29, 2022

So sorry that I didn't get this posted yesterday. After my video I needed some me time, so I went swimming. It was a beautiful hot day to hop in the pool and just enjoy the cool water, so that is what I did. So today I am trying to catch up on all the things I promised.


This card started out to be something different. I knew that I wanted to use the Candy Cane Dies in a different way. I like the way they create a background. We have so many great dies this year that can be used in a background. I didn't want to do Christmas yet. There are so many great stamp sets in our Annual Catalog that was just released a couple of months ago that I feel like I haven't finished playing with yet.


For this one I used the Candy Cane Dies that will be released July 1 in the new July - December Mini Catalog. Then I used the Happy Birthday greeting from Cottage Rose, which I just love! The flowers came from the new Wonderful World Bundle (Stamp set & Designer Series Paper), I fussy cut around the flower in the paper. I also used the 2022-23 In Color Glimmer Paper. I just love the products and how they came together.

Measurements:

  • Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Starry Sky/ Sweet Sorbet, score at 4 1/4
  • Cut 5 1/4 x 4 Adhesive Sheet, adhere to Basic White below before die cutting
  • Cut (2)  5 1/4 x 4 Basic White, one for inside and one for use on the front, cut with the die from Candy Cane Dies, cut a strip of Masking Paper to use along the edges to keep from stamping the greeting on the frame area. Stamp the greeting with Starry Sky/Sweet Sorbet across the White strips that remained after die cutting. Keep the strips that cut out, stamp one of them with the greeting and trim the end
  • Cut the largest circle in Starry Sky/ Sweet Sorbet using the Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Cut the Basic White circle using the largest  Layering Circle dies
  • Fussy cut the flower from the Designer Series Paper, adhere to the Basic White Die
  • Attach the greeting using Dimensionals
  • Add the Double Bow tied with the In Color Ribbon
  • Add the bling of your choice

Kintsugi Inspirations

Today I wanted to show you how you can used this fun stamp & die set and not use the Designer Series Paper. I love the coordinating Designer Series Paper but I think there are about a million posts on the interned showing how to use the DSP so I wanted to reach outside the box and use something else. I selected the wood grain DSP from Beautiful Gallery and I love the way it came out. Be sure to download the free Project Sheet below

Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape

By Debbie Chronister • May 21, 2025
This sweet card uses the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape with the die to cut the flowers. I attached the tape to a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it using the coordinating die. This made for a bunch of beautiful flowers to attach to the front and inside of the card. The greeting is from Year of Flowers. I added the beautiful little Iridescent Pearls to the centers of the flowers . The background is embossed with Glass & Gardens Embossing Folder. You will find all these products listed below along with Free Project Sheet.

Impressions Abloom Pop Up

By Debbie Chronister • May 7, 2025
No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work. I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold
