Happy Birthday to Gingersnap Creations

This past month, the creative team for

The Artistic Stamper

(of which I am a part)

have been playing along with the design team for

Gingersnap Creations.

 

I have really enjoyed playing along all month and plan

to continue doing so.  Their challenges are fun and

allow you to be 'all sorts of creative'.

The final challenge for February was in honor of

Gingersnap's upcoming 1st birthday.

to make any type of birthday card.

I actually had someone in mind when I made

this one, but I can't say who it is because I know he reads

my blog (no, not my Paul).

This is a really simple card with a few layers.

It features the brand spankin' new

'Lace background' stamp from

The Artistic Stamper.

It doesn't show up nearly as well in the photo, but

I wanted to keep these colors pretty muted.

Again, if you haven't seen the tutorial on how to make

this NO-sew ribbon border, you can catch the tutorial

over at the Gingersnap blog.

The little details include:

Martha Stewart Eyelet Stationary & Satin ribbon

Prima paper flowers

Stickles in my favorite...platinum

and assorted brads and pearls

Tomorrow night at midnight kicks off another brand new 

challenge over at the Play Date Cafe.

We are using a rather unique 'color combo', so you

will not want to miss it!
