File Folder Card, Hooray It's Your Day, www.LaurasStampPad.com

This is just one of the fabulous cards you can create from the Hooray It’s Your Day card kit from the Occasions Mini Catalog (which ends on June 2nd)! I had some much fun with this kit and I made a lot of modifications! Remember, you don’t have to follow the instructions on these kits! The kit comes with 5 each of 4 different designs for a total of 20 cards including envelopes. I think the envelopes are my favorite part – Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, and Daffodil Delight! LOVE THEM!!!!

Look at all these goodies!!! Of course the spritzer and mask templates can be used over and over again. Also, there is tons of Washi Tape on that roll and I didn’t come close to using it all. Love it! Okay so let’s get down to the fun stuff!!! I will be showing 2 cards today and the other 2 tomorrow! 🙂

Here is another photo of the File Folder Card! This is super cute and the file folder style is really popular right now. Still not sure if it is my thing but I’ll go with it! TIP: When sealing your Wild Wasabi pocket for the file card to go in, you need to stay really, really close to the edge. Even staying close, I had to cut down my file card. Another option would be to use your washi tape to seal the ends by wrapping it around the side. This would allow for plenty of room for your file card! Then you can decorate as you wish with the thought bubbles, washi tape, wooden stars, and star clip! I used the Crazy About You Stamp Set for this card. (I didn’t purchase the coordinating stamp set – Hooray It’s Your Day and just used a few of my favorite greeting sets!) Also, I didn’t add any color to this one…..I noticed that a few days later that mine didn’t look like the sample in the kit photo! 🙂

I love love love this one because it is an emboss resist card. The card comes already embossed on the front with that fish tail look.What do you call that pattern? Let me know in the comment below! I actually used my sponge daubers on this card rather than the spritzer. You know how much I love those things. Then for the tag, I stamped the greeting from Age Awareness and added a little Washi Tape and Silver Glimmer Paper (included in the kit). The other cool thing about this card is it comes with a gift card holder built in. All of the score lines are created and you just need to add a little adhesive (Fast Fuse works best) on the outer edge! Check this out! Perfect for a Graduation card!!!

Birthday Calendar For Every Year!!!

Posted on

The new year is approaching. Resolutions are being set! Is one of yours to keep in contact with more family and friends? What about remembering the birthday of those your love?? You may have heard this before but for those who haven’t, here you go! I have a huge family and my Grandmother always remembered everyone’s birthday. She would send cards to everyone with $5 in there. When she passed, I decided I would take that over for her (minus the $5). I have my handy dandy Birthday Calendar that Stampin’ Up came out with many years ago and that thing is a lifesaver! I send out about 5-15 cards each month. I love it! So now that Stampin’ Up has come out with another fabulous Birthday Calendar, I’m excited to share it with all of you!!!!

I love it!!! This is the Perpetual Birthday Calendar Project Kit from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I got the coordinating Perpetual Birthday Calendar Stamp Set to stamp the backgrounds and months! Everything else was included in the kit and there were lots of goodies left over as well! I love it! It also comes in a beautiful box so it is perfect for gift giving as well. Remember this calendar can be used every year because the dates aren’t calendar dates but instead just the numbers in each month! Love that!

I am planning a class with this amazing calendar coming soon! If you would like to gather your friends to make these, I would love to party with all of your friends and bring the supplies! Just let me know a date! 🙂 I’m so excited to start up my classes again! I miss my stampers!

Here is a Video showing off this fabulous calendar! Be sure to give it a thumbs up if you liked it!
