Continuing on with our Birthday Card Class Series, I decided to switch out the So Refreshing Stamp set and use the Construction zone set. The So Refreshing Stamp set and Dies are the featured Claas to Go for July (see Classes on this page:

If you would like this Card Class, place a $35 retail order in my Online store using host code P6UVSZZU (click on host code which has link to me online store.) This tells me you would like the class kit sent to you. Class kits include the precut, embossed, diecut and punched pieces along with envelopes for each of the 4 cards shown below. You will need your own Stamp Sets, Ink and Adhesive. This Class and Host Code is only good from July 6- July 14, 2023

Today’s Birthday cards are about using your Stamp Sets, Embossing Folders and Ink to create backgrounds. Below are each of the cards and the supplies used as well as a link to the YouTube replay. You can download the supply sheets (see link under the gallery)

Our first card features a new Stamp set Called Construction Zone. It is a gift card holder as well. This set was just to cute to pass up and since the July Class to Go features the So Refreshing Stamp set I thought I would change it up this week. My initial goal was to create a card that did not require any coloring, ah but I could not resist coloring the balloons and gift. I used my Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight Stampin Write Markers.

Our Next card features the Supremely Awesome stamp set, but instead of a Pizza we created a Birthday Cake, making this guy a Baker instead of a Pizza Chef.

Our third card features the Little Monkey Stamp Set and Monkey Builder, Cloud and Bough Punches. This is a great way to make a background using your inks and not having to worry if your designer paper is the right pattern. This is such and easy card to make and really does not require any special tools other than post it notes and a blending brush. I used the small blending brush ans Azure Afternoon to create my sky.

This last card was inspired by a pin I found on Pintrest from Angie Leach. I love creating my own designer series paper with my Stamps and Ink and this was the perfect card. Mixing old and new colors.
