Technique Tuesday: Seals Challenge

No, not the "ark ark" kind. But the stamping kind. As you probably know by now, Technique Tuesday debuted a new line of stamps called Signed, Sealed, and Delivered. Today, the Stamping Techs are whipping up some new projects using those seals.

I've already made a Mother's Day card and layout, and a Father's Day card using some of the seals. So for today, I created a quick and easy birthday card using the Happy Birthday seal.

stamps: Technique Tuesday Happy Birthday Seal / patterned papers: October Afternoon 9 to 5 / ribbon: Technique Tuesday Narrow White Twill / Inks: Hero Arts Mid-Tone Shadow Ink in Butter Bar, Clearsnap Colorbox Classic Pigment Cat's Eye / punches: McGill

I stamped the seal in two colors, punched out the blue one with a 2" scalloped punch, and the candles with a 3/4" circle punch. Popped them up with pop up dots. Then I stamped a piece of Technique Tuesday Narrow White Twill with the little star that comes in the seal set. Wrapped the twill around the stripe-y paper, and then adhered that to the woodgrain paper. Yes, I have a thing for woodgrain paper. I'm blaming it on Martha Stewart. And this October Afternoon paper is pretty dang awesome.

This is such a super simple card that can be adapted to just about any occasion. Which makes those seals such great stamps to have around. Plus, they are really affordable!
