GOOD MORNING my sweet creative friends & welcome to another:
Being that my design team is super busy working on sneak peeks for our upcoming new release happening next week, I will be hosting this challenge! I thought it would be would be fun for ALL of us to create a "SQUARE" card! It can be ANY size you want, just as long as it is a "SQUARE"! Since my AWESOME Hubby's birthday is this weekend, I made this card for him! Yes, I KNOW it's not screaming a "MANLY" card, but I tried coloring it using "masculine" colors! ;) Basically I just stamped my AMAZING new "Cartoon Cloud background" stamp (which will be available for pre-order next Wed, July 10th), then I paper pieced all of the images! I stamped all the images onto white cardstock, colored them all in & cut them all out by hand! This adorable stamp set is called "Birthday Buddies"! The sentiment is from one of my faves "Many Greetings"! OH, I also added glossy accents on his eyes & the balloons!
Here is the inside! I know I wanted to write him a message on the inside, so I just stamped the cute little sentiment that is included in "Birthday Buddies" in the lower right hand corner!
Supplies used:
~ Birthday Buddies
~ Many Greetings
~ Cartoon Cloud Background stamp (will be available for purchase on Wed, July 10th)
Here is my video for you today!

Since I have been getting SEVERAL emails asking about when my new release will be! So I thought it would be fun to let you PRE-ORDER the release starting on Wed, July 10th! BUT, here is the BONUS part, you will be able to see the ENTIRE release that day! Isn't that EXCITING??? We will still proceed w/the sneaks as usual so you can see how each new product can be used & get TONS of inspiration for when your stamps/dies arrive to you!
All pre-orders will start shipping out on Monday, July 15th! So, by the time the sneaks are over, your stamps & dies will be waiting for you in your mailbox so you can start creating!***
Have a FABULOUS weekend & I can't wait to see ALL of YOUR "Square" cards for this challenge! Thank you all for stopping by & I will see you back here soon! xoxo

Super cute card!! Great challenge!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card! Just wondering how much of your product we need to use in the card/s? I only have a couple of your stamp sets, and all just sentiments, and there's only so many sentiments I can use on one card! ;)
ReplyDeleteYou don't have to use every item of mine, just one sentiment would be PERFECT my friend! Hope that helps!
DeleteHUGS! :)
