Happy Birthday - Wee Memories #62

Hi again! Happy Tuesday. I couldn't wait to get home yesterday to try out my new stamps that arrived this weekend {woo hoo}. I've been admiring all of the pretty projects I've seen using Paper Smooches Stamps, and finally took the plunge and ordered myself the Sentiment Sampler and Boob Tubes. I love the fun fonts & cute/fun images & they were a blast to play with!

I had it in my mind that I was going home to make a card for the Wee Memories #62 Challenge:


and so, that's what I did ;). Here is a look at my card:


I started with a Neenah Kraft card base - which is my fave for cards. {The patterned paper is all from October Afternoon's Sea Side Collection - which I LOVE - it is a perfect set for masculine cards too!!!}. I stamped one of the Boob Tubes onto 3 different patterned papers & then paper pieced them, then also stamped them onto the {Neenah} Kraft Cardstock. Next I cut out the TV screnes & stamped them with the sentiments "Happy Birthday Dad" - the Happy Birthday was from the Sentiment Sampler set & "dad" came with the Boob Tubes set - but they were the exact same font which ROCKED!!! Next I inked up the edges of the tv screne pieces with Weathered Wood Distress Ink (mainly because I cut them out all wonky & needed some type of remedy - but also because I thought it's look really cool!!). I really like how that looks, gives it a little something extra ;).

So, I had a lot of fun with this one. Clean & Simple seems like it should be so easy, but I found it to be kind of a challenge - but I have to admit, it was a seriously fun one!

I'm loving the Paper Smooches Stamps too - amazing quality and such fun designs! I will absolutely be ordering more stamps from them! The sets I have my eyes on in the immediate future are: Sugar Rush, Surf and Turf, Swanky Snowdudes! Guess I better start saving my pennys ;). Anyway, thanks for peeking at my card, I hope you have an awesome day!!
