Build a Birthday

I think this is one of my new favorite stamp sets.
It's in the new Annual Catalog and it's called Build a Birthday.
There are so many fun images in this set.
Build a BirthdayThe base of the card is Watermelon Wonder (a new In Color).
Next is a layer of Bermuda Bay, then Whisper White.
On the Whisper White layer I added strips of the new
Cherry on Top Washi Tape (love this stuff).
I stamped the cake base using Tip Top Taupe (new In Color),
the bottom of the cake is Bermuda Bay (I love how this image
coordinates with the Washi Tape).
The diagonal stripe layer is Watermelon Wonder.
The top layer of the cake is Crushed Curry.
The banner on top is stamped with Tip Top Taupe.
I added Rhinestones to the banner to "dress" it up a little.
I adhered the stamped layer to Bermuda Bay and
adhered to the card front using dimensionals.

I love this color combinations and the Cherry on the Top Washi Tape and DSP
is awesome — I know I need to order more right away.

You’ve Got This and Mint Macraron

Five new In Colors to play with.
It's time to say hello to this year's In Colors — Delightful Dijon, Watermelon Wonder,
Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush and Mint Macraron.
At my Relay for Life Sneak Peek Thursday night I introduced the new
colors to everyone.
This is the one of the cards they made — it uses the Mint Macraron.
You've Got ThisThe stamp set is You've Got This.
The card base is Mint Macraron with a layer of Smoky Slate.
First I stamped the flower image on a large Sticky Note and cut out.
Then I stamped the image on the Whisper White cardstock.
I place the Sticky Note flower only the flower on the cardstock (masking it).
Next I stamped the hash background using Smoky Slate ink.
Last I stamped the words in the lower right corner.
Don't forget to color the stem using the Mint Macraron Marker and
the center of the flower I used So Saffron.

Relay for Life Sneak Peek

Every year I hold a stamping event to help raise funds for
The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life through Jeannie's Angels.
My friend Donna's mother passed away from lung cancer in 2007.
Donna started the Jeannie's Angels group to raise funds for
the Relay for Life.  I joined Donna's efforts 4 or 5 years ago and
have hosted different types of stamping events to help her raise funds.
Last night was my fundraiser — 22 ladies joined for a fun evening of stamping
Relay Group Shot
This year's event was a NEW CATALOG SNEAK PEEK.
Everyone received a new catalog for attending.
All funds received were donated to The American Cancer Society.

Cyndi was the Grand Prize Winner
Cyndi's the Winner
She won a fabulous Stampin' Up! bag that was filled with fun
stamping goodies.  Nancy was trying to get out of the picture — haha.

Everyone made four cards using lots of new stamp sets, inks, punches, etc.
Sprinkles of Life
This was one of the cards the ladies made.
This card features the Sprinkle of Life stamp set and the
coordinating Tree Builder Punch.  It also used some of the new
Neutrals Designer Paper — this year it has some silver and gold.
Very cool paper — I like the patterns.

Come back tomorrow to see more of the fun cards we made.
