			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of my most treasured stamp sets has to be BOO. Not only do I adore the very Halloween specific images, but the solid dot is so much fun! I think I have used that more than any other stamp.</p>
<p>With this step by step I would like to show you how to use the solid stamp to create a very linear and quick greeting card.</p>
<p>Materials needed:</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3269" href="http://mystampbox.com/2010/03/i-am-dotty-for-dots/card-step-1/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3269" src="http://mystampbox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Card-step-1.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="427" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Stamp Sets used:</span><br />
<strong><a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=16&amp;products_id=119" target="_blank">BOO</a><br />
<a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=11&amp;products_id=56" target="_blank">FLOATING LEAVES</a><br />
<a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=21&amp;products_id=95" target="_blank">GELEGENTLICHES</a></strong></p>
<p>I have stamped the solid dot in two different ink colours onto white cardstock and punched them with a circle punch, still showing some white frame, as I prefer this look.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3270" href="http://mystampbox.com/2010/03/i-am-dotty-for-dots/card-setp-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3270" src="http://mystampbox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Card-setp-2.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="177" /></a></p>
<p>Punch slightly larger circles in a cardstock colour that matched your stamped image and layer</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3271" href="http://mystampbox.com/2010/03/i-am-dotty-for-dots/card-step-3/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3271" src="http://mystampbox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Card-step-3.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="214" /></a></p>
<p>Using a variety of cardstock scraps in colours matching my chosen colour scheme, I started layering the background for my card.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3272" href="http://mystampbox.com/2010/03/i-am-dotty-for-dots/card-step-4/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3272" src="http://mystampbox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Card-step-4.jpg" alt="" width="364" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Now adhere the stamped images to the background and add some sentiments and a little leaf image to complete your card.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-3273" href="http://mystampbox.com/2010/03/i-am-dotty-for-dots/geburtstag-card/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3273" src="http://mystampbox.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Geburtstag-Card.jpg" alt="" width="497" height="700" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For some reason, I have a lot of birthdays to celebrate in June so I decided to make a bunch of fun birthday cards to add to my card stash for all my family and friends this month.</p>
<p>So I chose a simple colour palette of blue, purple, green and white to create my birthday cards.</p>
<p><strong>Birthday Gifts</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g314/newmommy2scrap/gifts500.jpg" alt="" width="417" height="500" /></p>
<p>For my row of gifts, I create a reusable gift mask from the <a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2&amp;products_id=29"><strong>Happy Birthday</strong></a> stamp set and created a little line of wrapped gifts.  I coloured them with Copic markers and added some Stickles for a little touch of whimsy!</p>
<p><strong>Frosted Birthday Cake</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g314/newmommy2scrap/frostycake500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="383" /></p>
<p>I first created the piece of purple paper with the multiple rows of the &#8220;Happy Birthday to you&#8221; message from the <a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=7&amp;products_id=39"><strong>Lines in Life</strong></a> stamp set  in white embossing powder.  I then cut out the scalloped circle from the purple paper with my Spellbinder&#8217;s Nestability and stamped a little paper pieced cake from the <a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2&amp;products_id=29"><strong>Happy Birthday</strong></a> stamp set to add to the center.  The frosting on the cake is some Liquid Applique to create some additional dimension.</p>
<p><strong>Birthday Bouquet</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g314/newmommy2scrap/birthdaybouquet500.jpg" alt="" width="406" height="500" /></p>
<p>For this card, I stamped the flower from <a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2&amp;products_id=29"><strong>Happy Birthday</strong></a> stamp set multiple times all over the front of my white card.  I coloured in my flowers with my Copics and then put clear embossing powder and heat embossed them.  I then used my Copic air brush system and air brushed some soft purples and greens over the front and then spritzed on some Glimmer Mist for some fun speckles.</p>
<p><strong>Large Candles</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g314/newmommy2scrap/largecandles500.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="489" /></p>
<p>For this card I create a candle mask using the large candle from the <a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=2&amp;products_id=29"><strong>Happy Birthday</strong></a> stamp set and created a row of large candles.   I coloured them using my Copic markers and then added some Stickles to the melted wax part of the candle for some glittery fun.  Since the birthday greeting from the <a href="http://mystampbox.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=7&amp;products_id=39"><strong>Lines of Life</strong></a> stamp set is quite flexible, I bent it into a curved shape and stamped it above the candles.</p>
<p>I hope you enjoying peaking at my birthday card creations today.  I hope these cards inspire you to create some birthday cards of your own.</p>
<p>Happy celebrating!</p>

I love that the birthday set has &#8220;non birthday&#8221; images as well. The flower can be used for a variety of occasions making it so much more versatile.</p>

<p>I used the same two stamp sets to create this fun card, which could also be used as a party invitation! I added some dimensional adhesive to make it really &#8220;pop&#8221;.</p>
