Birthdays – Stampin' With Candice

Quick and Easy Treat Holders

Can you believe the month is already over? That means tomorrow May 1st is the last day to order retiring products. This is my last post featuring retiring products. I’ve also received my pre-order items so I thought I would share a variety of quick and easy treat holders that feature retiring product, new product and online exclusives.

I created these cute gift holders around Valentine’s for my open house. I also wanted to create a project that I could send to people that weren’t able to attend in person. Since it’s hard to send them stamps I decided to go with a project that was made with dies and punches. You’ll notice that both are similar; however, the punched one I punched the images directly from the designer series paper.

Here’s a quick picture of the measurements so you can make your own treat holder.

First I need to give a quick shout out to Craft with Jayne as she shared the triangle treat holder and I just had to give it a try. These two projects feature the retiring country gingham DSP that I love along with the Flowers of Friendship stamp set and dies.

Here are the measurements to create these easy gift holders. Remember that you are scoring not cutting to make this project. The measurement listed here are for the smaller treat box. If you watch my video below you can see the difference is size between the larger Rhino box and smaller Monkey box.

Now for a little bit of fun. I wanted to make a quick video so I could show you how easy these are to make, but I wanted to make it using new product so I had a little bit of fun with my pre-order. I will admit I did use one retiring product on these projects and that is the DSP for the Rhino project since I thought it worked so well with image. The Rhino’s are part of the online exclusive Rhino Ready Stamp Set and the large leaves are as well. The rest you will find in the new catalog and will be available to purchase on May 2, 2023.

Check out my video to see how fast and easy these projects are to make.

Goodbye Designer Series Paper

We have so many great Designer Series Papers (DSP) and I wanted to feature a few projects using some of these papers that will be going away. While many of the stamp sets that I am featuring will be carrying over unfortunately the DSP will not be. Sometimes they carry over, but with a major color change like we are having we will be getting all new DSP.

I had a lot of fun with these cards. My husband and I actually met when I asked him for a ride on his motorcycle almost 30 years ago. His favorite colors are purple and green so when I finally had a chance to play with this set I had him help me with the coloring. You’ll notice that the motorcycles vary a bit from each other as I played with different combinations. I’m featuring the Ready to Ride DSP which is part of the Suite Collection along with the Silver Foil that has been embossed.

Here’s one more card using this suite. I will list the additional products used along with the colors. One of the things I love about his card is how well the large watercolor world stamp set works so well with the motorcycle.

160708 – Watercolor World Stamp Set (C) (M)
Colors – Pumpkin Pie (C), Basic Grey (C), Sahara Sand (R), Basic Black (C)

I am in love with this quick and easy layout. I’ve actually made multiple cards using this layout. I was going off a similar layout and cut the paper the wrong size however once I did I decided I liked this size even better. This card works perfect with our DSP. Simply cut your DSP into 4 x 8. You can get four cards out of one piece of DSP and still have a 4×4 square left for other projects. To finish you will score it at 2″ and 4″. Attached the 4×4 section to a 4 1/4″ by 4 1/4″ background and decorate how you want. The main image is designed to be centered and only attach to half the card when folded back like a Z-Fold card. This hides the image below which is in a similar shape.

Here’s another sample using the same design. This one features the darling Rhino Ready online exclusive stamp set. This time I used circles rather than squares and the hostess designer series paper.

Happy Birthday

Did you know that today is my birthday!

Yep it is and to celebrate I wanted to share with you three different birthday card sets featuring retiring stamp sets. This first set is my favorite; however, one of the things I like about all these cards is that the layouts are mostly interchangeable. I’ve used the current In Colors on all these cards. While these colors will be around for another year, many of the accessories are not so I recommend grabbing them soon before they are gone (if they aren’t already.) There are three cards for each stamp set as there are three main images in each set. Also, each set uses the same layout but each card is twisted to show the versatility of the layouts.

Party Puffins

This set features a pocket to hold a gift card or cash for a quick and easy gift. I love how easy it is to create this pocket. I actually saw a tutorial for it on Facebook. I will work to get a video done to show you how easy it is to create this pocket. One of my favorite parts of this set of cards is the background. Even though the colors are all different the background is created the same way. I actually used a VersaMark pad and clear embossing powder rather than stamping it with the ink. This is what gives it the shine that you see. I also added shine to the penguin birthday hats using the Wink of Stella Brush.

Colors – Sweet Sorbet (C), Parakeet Party (C), Tahitian Tide (C), Starry Sky (C), Orchid Oasis (C), Basic White (C), Basic Black (C)

This Birthday Piggy

I featured the In Color designer series paper for this set of cards and a design that uses a half cut front. The part that is cut off is actually scored and placed under the background paper to create the part that flips over the card you can see this in the open section. I made sure to include the greeting beneath the flipped section. I will admit that I used the dies that were available a while back to cut out the images rather than fussy cutting them. They were available on the clearance rack, but I’m not sure if they are still there.

(R) Retiring , (C) Carrying Over

Elephant Parade

I got this fun idea from one of my fellow demonstrator Michelle Pepper. Again I mixed up the layout to show the same concept different ways. This stamp set doesn’t have as many stamps that work for birthday sayings so I did bring in a different stamp set for one of the sayings, but it does have other saying that you can use to create a variety of cards. I used the Wink of Stella Brush again to add sparkle to the balloons and the background is created using the In Color Glimmer paper. Just a note be sure to stamp your creating before you emboss your background to make sure you get a clear stamped image.

Daisy Garden Stamp Set

Want a quick and easy card?

The Daisy Garden Stamp set is the perfect solution. You can use any combination of colors just simply stamp the background and add it to your card base. Throw in a little ribbon for texture and your choice of greeting and you have a quick and easy that can be made in minutes. Remember this set is retiring so get it before it’s gone.

155079 – Daisy Garden (R)
155052 – Biggest Wishes (C)
Colors – Left Card – Pale Papaya (R), Evening Evergreen (R), Basic White (C)
Colors – Right Card – So Saffron (R), Blackberry Bliss (C), Basic White (C)
155573- 3/8″ Open Wave Ribbon Evening Evergreen (R) – Left Card
159194 – Rose Gold & White 5/8″ Striped Ribbon (R) – Right Card

(R) Retiring, (C) Carrying over

Quick Tip – Instead of removing my background stamp from the case I ink it in the case then put my cardstock over the part of the image that I want to stamp. I then place the largest block over the cardstock and use it to apply even pressure when stamping the image.

Just a thought – This same technique could be used with the Butterfly Brilliance set that I showcased yesterday. I would love to see your samples of this technique using any background stamp. Please feel free to share them in the comments or on my Facebook page.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Butterfly Brilliance

After creating my video for my recent post on duel embossing techniques I wanted to try using the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set that I mentioned my friend Alisa Tilsner used. I wanted the colors to be brighter those so I decided on more of a rainbow look. The card on the right uses the same wet embossing technique I showed how to use in the video.

The card on the left however is slightly different as the set doesn’t have an embossing folder but instead has a matching set of dies. The set has a set of dies that will cut out all the stamped images and it also has lined butterflies. For this project I used the blending brushes the same way to create the background and then used both dies to cut out the butterflies and place them over the background. I will be honest I love how this turned out.

I created this before I found out about the retiring list, however once I found the set and dies were retiring I new I need to share it right away. I’ve included a list of the retiring items so you purchase them before it’s to late.

Birthday Cheer- Cupcakes

Card made using the Birthday Cheer Stamp set and matching dies featuring the Cupcakes.

Stamp of the Week set featured April 1st – April 6th- Birthday Cheer.

Today I’m featuring a quick card I made using the Birthday Cheer Stamp Set and matching dies.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Just a quick note I used the Cherry Cobbler & Pool Party blender pens to color in the cupcakes after I attached them to a piece of Whisper White Paper . I also used the Dot to Dot embossing folder that I think works so well with this stamp set.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Another card featuring the Birthday Cheer Cupcakes

Same card with a different color Combo using the Birthday Cheer Stamp set and matching dies.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

This card features the colors Flirty Flamingo and a mix of the light Bermuda Bay with the Dark Pool Party Blender Pens. I also used glossy white card-stock for the back instead of the normal white. I found that the blends actually don’t work as well on this paper as they do on the whisper white card-stock.

Remember that when you purchase the Birthday Cheer set as the stamp of the week for April 1 – 6th you can get a free card kit when you purchase before the 14th of April using the special hostess code RAFQT4TW . The stamp set is just $20 however I recommend getting the bundle for $45 so you can make cute cards like this one using the die.
