Stampfest at Lynette's May 4, 2022

Lynette and I had a great time stamping and visiting on Wednesday, May 4, 2022. 

Our inspiration for this card was Ceal Pritchett's card made with Gina K's Cake Toppers stamp set. Click here to see Ceal's card on her Simply Beautiful Creations blog.

We used a top folding card, cutting our cardstock in half lengthwise at the 4-1/4 inch mark. We then created the "table" using another piece of cardstock and a stencil from Lynette's stash. We used a blending brush and Gina K's sea glass ink to add color. Then cut it with Gina K's scalloped rectangle from Master Layouts 4. We placed that on our white card base on an angle, like Ceal's card.

Lynette stamped the cake layers with distress antique linen, stacking them like Ceal did. Then she fussy cut the cakes. Lynette used gold embossing powder on the cake plate and fussy cut that too. 

The flowers are from Gina K's Stippled flowers set. I colored them with colored pencils and fussy cut. The Mr & Mrs and Congratulations are from the Cake Toppers set and were both stamped in Versafine onyx black and fussy cut. 

Our birthday and anniversary cards were inspired by Debbie Cole Gustafson's card shared on the Gina K Designs & StampTV Friends Facebook Group on April 23, 2022. I am so grateful to her for sharing because I was never sure where to add the flowers! Thanks so much Debbie!  I love your arrangement and I hope you don't mind that we CASED your wonderful card!

Lynette stamped the happy birthday sentiment from Gina K's Sketched Flowers stamp set.

I stamped the happy anniversary sentiment from Gina K's Stippled Flowers stamp set.

 Using a stamping platform, we arranged the Wild Blossoms leaves stamp and used Gina K jelly bean green ink. We place the flowers stamps on a small acrylic block and stamped with Gina K turquoise sea for the larger flower and Gina K blue lagoon for the smaller flower buds. Again, we used the same placement that Debbie Cole Gustafson used on her card. 

Lynette, Don and I had a very nice walk to a local restaurant for lunch. On the way home we walked through a park and enjoyed the tulips and other spring flowers and tree blossoms! Thanks, Lynette for a wonderful day!
