My Day 1 Birthday cards are using the Birthday Bundle #1.

Here is the link to Two more Card samples I created for the Pre-Order Sale on June 6 

using Birthday Bundle #1 .

I am Loving the new products and am sharing Two more cards for the Day 1, 8th Birthday Celebration.

****************

Birthday Bundle #1

 ARTplorations Design Blox #5 stencil.

STAMPlorations Dee's Blossom Sprays #4

STAMPlorations Radiate Happy

***********

Plus Shaker Blends flat sequins Color Confetti.

 Monika's Rectangle Flexi-Templates

This was the very 1st card I created using the Birthday Bundle #1...I was hooked!!!

I used the Rectangle Flexi-Templates over mixed media paper and secured with 3M masking tape.  That gave me the perfect white border.  Then secured the  ARTplorations Design Blox #5 Stencil using the tape.  Next I used i-Crafters i-Brushes to blend the Distress Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Ripe Persimmon, Festive Berries and Barn Door.  I removed the stencil and template and went..."Wow"!

Placed card front in MISTI and stamped Dee's Blossom Sprays #4 and STAMPlorations Radiate Happy sentiment using Archival Jet Black Ink.  Then removed card front from MISTI. 

Attached Shaker Blends flat sequins Color Confetti using Connect Glue.  Then attached card front to SU Basic White 100# card base and Done!  I LOVED the results.

My 2nd card for Day 1

Birthday Bundle #1

STAMPlorations Dee's Blossom Sprays #4

CUTplorations Art Border Die #1

***********

Plus Clear Stickers Shine Bright.

I kept my 2nd card more CAS.  I placed the Strathmore mixed media A2 card front in MISTI and stamped the STAMPlorations Dee's Blossom Sprays #4 with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with SU clear embossing powder.  

Removed card front and watercolored with Zigs using wet #4 paint brush to move the ink.  So relaxing and fun.  Such a beautiful bouquet.

Added Posca Acrylic black ink pen splatters and let dry.  Then added the Shine Bright Clear Sticker sentiment to mixed media paper and trimmed and attached to card front.

Next die cut  CUTplorations Art Border Die #1 using mixed media paper.  The die,  cuts beautifully even thru the heavier mixed media paper!  I used my Spellbinders Tool 'n One brush end to remove all the tiny pieces from the die...worked quick and easy!   Then used a toothpick to remove the few leftover pieces.  

 Next cut another piece of MM paper for under the die cut border to pop it up and also cover up the image stems.  I tried it with and without and liked it better without the stems showing.

Attached to SU 100# cardstock base and Done!

This was my 4th card using this Awesome Birthday Bundle #1!!!

I can now see Birthday Bundles #2 and Birthday Bundles #3 in my future💖

Be sure and join 1 or all of the 3 ways of fun to earn prizes.

Love and Hugs..

STAMPlorations Preview of 8th Birthday Bundle #1

Be sure and check out Shery's Preview Post on STAMPlorations using 8th Birthday Bundle #1.

Shery asked if any of the STAMPgirls could share projects using the new 8th Birthday Bundle #1.

I was happy to share  two cards that I made using 3 of the new Birthday Bundle #1 products on the 1st card and 2 new Bundle products on the 2nd card. 

Blossom Sprays #4  4x6 stamp

Radiate Happy 3x5 stamp set.

Design Blox Template #5 stencil

I masked the Design Blox Template #5 stencil over Mixed Media paper 

using 3M masking tape.

Then watercolored with Magicals powders,  which I reconstituted with a wet paint brush.

Added a bit of water with the brush to a stencil opening and then painted  with the wet brush dipped into the Magicals paint.  I did one opening at a time and made sure none of the colors were next to each other.  Removed the stencil carefully after letting the images dry. Loved the shine from the Magicals.

A few of the images paint seeped under the stencil so I just added a bit more paint to get cleaner lines.

Next time when watercoloring I will spray the back of the stencil with light tacky Pixie Spray.

Next placed background in MISTI and stamped the Blossom Sprays #4 and Radiate Happy

sentiment using Versafine Ink and Heat Embossed with Clear EB Powder.

Trimmed stenciled background and attached to A2 Basic Black Cardstock, which made the 

background Pop!

Attached to White 100# cardstock and Done!  Loved the results😊

******************

My 2nd card

Radiate Happy 3x5 stamp set

Art Border Die #1

I used a Brushos background from my stash for my die cut Art Border #1.

 

Then used CUTplorations Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies to cut the middle panel and the frame.

If you look closely you can see the beveled edges,  which is a nice finishing touch.

Stamped the sentiment from the Radiate Happy stamp set.

Then attached all the pieces using Connect Glue to the Basic White A2 100# card base and Done!

BTW,  the Art Border #1 is exactly 5 1/2" long.  Perfect for an A2,  5 1/2' x 4 1/4" card base.

Of course the Art Border can be easily trimmed too.

I will also be adding 2 more cards for our Day 1,  8th Birthday Celebration!

Really, really fun products for creating projects😃

Shery will soon be sharing more Previews of her new Birthday Bundles with more samples of

projects by a few of the STAMPgirls.  Stay Tuned!

Love and Hugs..
