Custom Birthday Calendar Cards

Hi there! This month I have the honor of joining The Greetery again to showcase some amazing new products from their These Are The Days release available tomorrow, July 30th.

The Greetery-Calendar Basics, Birth Month Blooms

I’m sharing a few custom birthday calendar cards using the new Calendar Basics Stamp Set along with the Birth Month Blooms Stamp Sets. There are four different Birth Month Blooms Stamp Sets, one for each quarter. These are beautiful floral layering stamp sets. Above I stamped the rose and below I used the Hawthorn, which is technically the month of May bloom, but here I used it for an August birthday.

I used the Calendar Basics Stamp Set on each card to make a little calendar and added hearts or dates to the recipients birthdate. For the cards above and below I also used the Calendar Grid Stencil to add color to the grid. I also flicked some distress inks above in Antique Linen and below in Peacock Feathers.

My last card also uses the Spiral Bound dies to add the trim at the top of the panel. I stamped several blooms for this card and embossed the sentiment from One Fine Day in gold onto white. I added a linear calendar to the card on the upper left side of the cream cardbase. It’s hard to see clearly in the photo, but the video shows it in a bit more detail.

Just a Note

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using several dies from the Sunny Vibes Release with Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Exquisite Hummingbird, Iceland PoppiesNested Domed Arches Frames, Beautiful Blooms

First I die cut one of the Nested Domed Arches Frames into Buttercream Cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from Beautiful Blooms in black ink onto a white cardbase. I added the Iceland Poppies & Exquisite Hummingbird, which I die cut out of solid colored cardstock and added a bit of blending for some detail. For the hummingbird I used Sea Glass Cardstock and blended it with Limelicious, Marine & Lilac ink. For the poppies. I die cut one of Guava cardstock and blended with Blush ink. For the other I used Ballet cardstock and blended with Carnation ink.

Sunny Vibes

Hi there! Have you seen the fun, new Sunny Vibes release with Simon Says Stamp? I’m sharing a couple of projects using some of these happy, new products.

My first card features the Repeating Rainbow die. I mean….can you even handle it? I paired it with the CZ Good Vibes die which I die cut out of vellum and holographic cardstock.

SSS-Repeating Rainbow, CZ Good Vibes

You could get so many fun looks by changing up the cardstock colors with this Repeating Rainbow die. I also added a few Mermaid Tail embellishments for some bling.

My next card features the Mini Fab Floral Plate. I adhered strips of solid colored cardstock behind for color and added a matte gold and vellum sentiment using the new You Brighten My Day die.

You Brighten My Day

There are so many different looks you could get with this die, too. I’m thinking back it with acetate and make it a shaker or inlay rainbow petals into each opening. That would take forever, but it would look so cool!
