April Stamp Class

If you look outside, spring is here!  With new blooms and Easter coming up very quickly, it's time to be stamping some soft spring colors along with bright birthday balloons, so here we go!

Instead of the typical bunnies and chickies this year, I decided to do a more subdued Easter card, and found a way to make a beautiful die-cut cross from one of the Thinlits sets.  You'll also have the option to make this as a sympathy card by changing the inside wording, which is so helpful to have on hand when the need arises.

The card below it also has the appealing muted colors with intricate flower and dragonfly die-cuts on a softly colored Sweet Sugarplum card. This modified gatefold would be so special as a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or other times when you'd like a more blended, serene card.

The card opposite this is, well, opposite in color and design too! Primary brights and colorful balloons, it shouts "Happy Birthday" for all to enjoy!  The card folds flat to fit into the standard envelope, but will "lift" up when opened for a dimensional "diorama" look.  Fun and easy to do, it makes great use of the new Balloon Adventures die and matching balloon punch.

Want a no-fuss way to send a piece of "birthday cake" through the mail?  Here is the easy way to do it: just flatten this "cake slice" and put into an envelope, to be opened and quickly assembled by the recipient. There is no mess, no special handling, and no calories -- it's literally a piece of cake (pun intended)!  Only your inside sentiment will actually be "sweet", and it's sure to be treasured when opened!  What a clever way to send smiles across the miles to those with birthdays who may be far from us.
