Hello, friends and happy Sunday!! I hope your weekend is going well!!

It’s release day for the Picket Fence Studios January Release!! There’s a fun and inspiring hop happening over on IG…I’ll pop a link to my account at the bottom of this post so you can join in the fun and possibly win one of several GCs to the Picket Fence Studios Shop!!

My card features the Sugar and Calorie Free Cake Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies, Hooray Word Die and Birthday Confetti Background Stamp…

I started by stamping the cake from the Sugar and Calorie Free Cake Stamp Set onto white cardstock with PFS Black Hybrid Ink and colored it with Copic markers. The sentiment was white heat embossed onto black cardstock. I used the Coordinating Dies to cut the cake and the sentiment out.

For the background, I stamped the Birthday Dance Confetti Background Stamp onto white cardstock with Picked Raspberry, Carved Pumpkin and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Inks. I trimmed the top and bottom of the panel and adhered it to an A2 panel of black cardstock.

The Hooray Word Die was cut once from white cardstock and once from black cardstock. I used the same Distress Oxide Inks that I used on the background with Pint-Sized Paper Pouncers to add color to the white die-cut, then layered them together, slighlty offset, and added them to the background. The cake and sub-sentiment were popped up with foam tape. I used a combination of Spring Has Sprung, All About the Yellows and Beach Vibes sequins to match my color scheme.

That’ll do it for me today!! Hop on over and join in the festivities on Instagram @mypapercutcreations. Be sure to check out the entire fabulous new release over in the Picket Fence Shop!!

Have a great Sunday!!
