Party Hearty Stamps by Stampin Up!

One of the best parts about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is that I get to play with all the goodies. And I get to create for a living!  The most recent stamp sets that I have gotten is the Party Hearty Stamp set. To order this set visit my website.

Isn't it cute??? There are so many things you can do with these stamps. One of my favorite ideas that was shared with me by my friend Karen at Paper Creations by Karen, was only ink the hat itself not the little tops. Turn them upside down and make them into pennants! Add some bling by using glitter on the words or the flame on the candle

My parents best friend and I share the same birthday and we celebrate our birthdays together. So I wanted to make him a birthday card that was masculine but not overly manly.  I used Stamps from the party hearty collection from Stampin Up! and designer buttons.  The design came from Janet Munster of Inspired by Stampin. Hers is pink and purple but i needed to make it a little more manly. So I used paper from Die Cuts with a View and Cardstock from Stampin Up.

 I think it turned out cute!
