It’s a fact: I send most of the birthday cards I make to women. And yet, there are guys I know who deserve a birthday card, too! (I’m on the verge of needing a whole slew of them.) It’s just sometimes a challenge to make a guy card that will do. I always run it by my guy to make sure he would sign it. This one passed.
Circle Sayings is a stamp set loaded with possibilities. It is part of a bundle — one of a few bundles that has as its “other half” a punch, instead of a set of dies. The 2⅜” Circle Punch is certainly useful, but I have to tell you that if you have the now-retired Layering Circles dies, there is one in that set the same size as this punch.
I must point out that the cupcake was fussy cut only because it was much easier to get it straight and centered, I think. We stamped the Celebrate circle and punched it out, then colored and flat adhered the cupcake to the circle.
For this May camp card, I chose two colors that are new in the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Or, more correctly, are new again. You know, returning from a period of time in the Retired Zone. I don’t remember loving Lost Lagoon when it was an In Color several years ago, but this time I can barely put it away. Stampers, you’ll see it again at camp this month!
In addition to Lost Lagoon’s best friend, Pretty Peacock, the other non-neutral color here is Pumpkin Pie. The complementary color of blue is orange, so this is an easy color combo to use.
