Razzleberry Birthday for FMS204

I've been in a bit of a stamping slump. So many things going on that my brain hasn't been focused on creating, and when I've sat down to try, I've come up blank! Sketches are usually the way I overcome this kind of block, and finally over the weekend, I sat down with the FMS204 sketch and made this card!

Love this design from the Into the Woods Designer Series Paper pack! And this greeting from the host set Happy Birthday Everyone seemed a natural fit.

Here's the sketch, designed by my friend Jen Timko:

Polka Dots for Everyone!

I shared this card yesterday on my business Facebook page, Amy's Card Buffet. I hope you'll follow me there--it's the best way to hear about specials, updates, and events!

This is a "catalog CASE," meaning I found a card in the new 2015 catalog that I loved, and made a card somewhat like it. Stampin Up catalogs are *great* sources of inspiration! If you look on page 17, you'll see that I used the same colors and the Happy Patterns Masks as in the sample, but I used a different greeting and did kind of my own thing with it.

You may have skimmed right over the Happy Patterns Masks when you went through the catalog. Here is a picture:

You get 4 different masks for $6. Each one is 6x6, so it easily covers a card or medium-sized mixed media project. You can spritz, sponge, color, or whatever you like! They wash off easily and don't take much room to store.
