Last week I showed you card I made with a new set called For the Books. See it here.
Today is my husband's birthday, and I originally bought this bundle (stamps and dies) because of him. Jim is an avid reader (always has been), and he loves volunteering at our local library. So when I needed to make his birthday card, I reached for this set:
I thought it would be fun to make a card that looks like a room in the house. I stamped the piles of books, colored them with Stampin' Blends, and fussy-cut them, stacking them on a little shelf.
This large book is cut from a die in the bundle. It cuts and embossed the details all at the same time. And the "pages" (the white at the bottom of the book) is another die - so clever! I added a candle (from the die set, Sent Silhouettes) because it's a birthday card. And check out that fun tassel - created from one of the dies.
I had to fudge a little on the greeting - the stamp says "this one's for the books", but I masked out some of the words, substituting "another year" from a Paper Pumpkin stamp.
Happy Birthday, Jim!
And watch for For the Books, coming January 7th, with the release of the January - April 2025 Mini Catalog!
