Here’s a simple fact about me… I love cake. Actually, I love dessert, and really try not to indulge too often. However, a good cake will disappear in this house in record time. Which is why I completely identify with the Amazing Life sentiment on today’s card: Life’s too short to say no to cake.
Here are a couple of close-ups of the card. The open image of the sentiment was coloured with my dark Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blend, which I chose because it matched the 1/2″ Lovely Lipstick ribbon (available in the All My Love Ribbon Combo Pack).
Don’t you love this embossing? The Dot to Dot Textured Impressions Embossing folder gives you a deep impression that is perfect for fun cards.
The Amazing Life stamp set has a few different sentiments, so you’re not limited to birthday cards. I always appreciate versatility in stamp sets, because this can be an expensive hobby, and I want everyone to get the biggest bang for their buck. Check out all of the stamps in the set:
The swirls and extra details are lovely. I haven’t used them on a project, but they’ll be great for scrapbooking as well as card making. The cake image was stamped repeatedly on a separate piece of cardstock to create the background, and the large sentiment was stamped and then die cut with… wait for it… stitched rectangles!!! The Rectangle Stitched Framelits were the one thing that I HAD to have out of this catalogue.
There are 13 different Framelits in this set, and the largest is 5-1/4″ x 3-7/8″. Perfect for a large background layer.
*Tip* These Framelits have stitching on both sides of the cut line, so you can frame an image with stitching OR die cut a piece with stitching just inside the edge.
