February Paper Pumpkin birthday card
You already know I love Paper Pumpkin! Iin addition to all the marvelous goodies in the boxes, there is always a photopolymer stamp set. Today I'm featuring this card both on my blog and on my Card Buffet Facebook page to show you another way to use the stamps in February's Hello Sunshine kit.
First I did a wash of Pool Party ink on watercolor paper and let it dry. Next I used my MISTI stamp positioner to stamp the "happy birthday" till it was even. If you've ever tried to stamp on watercolor paper, you know it can be bumpy and spotty. With the MISTI, I can keep stamping in precisely the same place until the words are legible! MISTI saves the day (again)!
Then I added the floral images to the whole card with Calypso Coral, Basic Gray, and Pool Party inks. I used a sequin from the February Paper Pumpkin kit and some tiny rhinestones to add a little bling.
There are still refills for this kit available, and it's a fabulous one! Make sure you sign up for Paper Pumpkin by March 10 to get the next kit delivered right to your door! Only $19.95 plus tax (shipping is included).

Sky Is the Limit Spinner
Spinner cards are an old favorite! Just look on youtube for about a thousand videos on how to do it. We used the Word Window Punch to make the track for the biplane to spin. You'll need dimensionals and 2 pennies to make it work. Doesn't that sound mysterious???
I like to pop up my layer on a double stack of dimensionals to really give the spinner room to do its thing. Hope you enjoy making this fun card that moves!

Birthday Circle Flip Card
At February Stamp Club, we made this cute "flip" birthday card with the Number of Years stamp set and dies. With the Large Numbers Thinlits, you can put any age you choose!
It seems that everyone loves a card with some movement to it, and this card is SUPER easy to make with the Circle Card Thinlits Dies. On a standard 8 1/2 by 5 1/2 piece of cardstock (don't score it!), set the Circle Card Die and run through your Big Shot. All the score lines and cut lines are already done for you!
If you want to add Designer Series Paper like we did in this sample, cut your DSP at 5 1/4 by 1 7/8. Adhere it ONLY along the top and bottom and the side that will be toward the outside edge of the card. When you use the card die, the circle part of your DSP will come out without leaving a mark.
I used the cute little Party Punch Pack balloon punch and some doodling (no stamps) to make these little balloon accents. I really love how they look on this card!

Perfectly Artistic Matchbook and a Thursday Tip
This darling matchbook gift card holder was one of the February Stamp Club project. The host requested birthday cards for kids, and so I thought a gift card holder would be perfect!
Here is a side view that shows the 3D effect of the scoring. I found a similar project from Mary Fish that I used as inspiration. I cut Thick Whisper White at 3 x 8 1/2, then scored at 3 3/8, 3 3/4, and 7 3/4.
Thursday Tip: No sense in "wasting" all that Silver Foil paper that sits behind the Perfectly Artistic DSP, right? I die cut a square or tag out of each Silver Foil mat, then we used one to punch the cute little birthday candles that help hold the flap down.
