Cut, Stick, Stamp :: Scrapbooking with a Birthday Cake Stamp
It is only in the last month that I’ve realised just how few specifically birthday themed crafting products I’ve collected over the years. In fact, I’m pretty sure I have about six times as many products about ice skating – something we do roughly once every three years – than I do about birthdays, which everyone I know does every single year. I may need to do some work on my impulse shopping, it would seem.
With a flurry of first birthday cards to make, not only did I need birthday things, I needed cute birthday things that would work for tiny toddlers! I knew there was a reason I’d been holding on to this lovely Lawn Fawn stamp set with smiling cakes!
I have some cards with this stamp set to share with you as well, but for now, a scrapbook page with a video and some very, very loose colouring of the stamped images!
You can find this Lawn Fawn stamp set at scrapbook.com. Other supplies for this scrapbook page include papers from the Pink Paislee Solstice collection and some older Jillibean Soup papers, plus October Afternoon Tin Pins flair badges and Fiskars punches.
So yes, cards and such to share tomorrow and another scrapbooking video here this Thursday! I might be edging closer to getting my act together or something. Wait. I just looked at my to-do list. I am nowhere near ‘act together’ status at all. But I’m going to continue to move in that general direction – that’s the plan!

I love those stamped image circles! They’re something I’ll use over and over. Great page!

Thanks so much for this idea! I get these small stamp sets in kit clubs and have no idea how to use them b/c I am not a card maker. I never know how to use them on a 12×12

If Wonder Boy is being cared for and nobody has starved this week you have your act as together as is required! Motherhood is tough, I for one am thrilled to get to watch you scrap some of it. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Thanks for sharing this great page with us. I’m also an edge inker. I think it really helps to define and present your layers and embelishments.

I love this series that you are doing. I started buying stamps more often, purely to make my own embellishments. So I love seeing what you are doing with them.

Happy 1st Birthday Wonder Boy! That year went by so quickly! Your l/o is so colorful; I admire your pp stacks behind the photo. You caught the colors of the blanket so well and still highlighted the photo. Thanks for taking time to show us another video. Maria
