One of my favorite stamp sets in this year’s Sale-A-Bration line up is the Designer Tee. When I saw the name I thought it would be something to do with t-shirts, not my thing. However, I was surprised and very pleased that I got this stamp set! It does coordinate with our new Custom Tee stamp set in the Occasions catalog, but this one is words for all occasions.
But before I share my cards with you I want to say “Happy 90th Birthday!!” to my dad. I made and shared his card ages ago (see it here), but today is his actual birthday! And it’s also my brother-in-law’s birthday today, so Happy Birthday to him.
Now, onto my Designer Tee cards! I decided to try to make a different card with each of the saying in this stamp set, so I pulled out my note cards with matching envelopes and got to work. It was so much fun using another of the Sale-A-Bration products, the Carried Away DSP (#143608) to create these cards.
This is the closed card:
This is with the card open. I cut half the front off lengthwise to make this “hanging front” card panel.
This is the front of the next card:
And this is the inside. I use our new Candle Border punch to create the fun bottom.
Here’s the next one to use when a friend needs cheering up.
And this one is to encourage someone to keep dreaming about all the possibilities that are out there.
This card was so cute with the train and the old nursery book, “I think I can, I think I can…”
and then on the inside I used the Congratulations! I knew you could stamp.
This one I sponged the balloons so they didn’t contrast so much with the background.
Here’s all 6 of the cards together that I’ve made so far. There are two stamps that I didn’t use yet, but I’m still cogitating on what those cards will look like. I’ll post them when I finish.
Here’s what I used to make these cards (of course, you’ll have lots of leftovers for more cards later!).
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you see the wisdom in adding this Designer Tee stamp set to your stamp collection. It’s extremely versatile that you will use all year long!
Cute, cute, cute! I love the balloons and the train!
Happy milestone birthday to your dear dad!! I love the little sentiments in the Designer Tee set – you really showcased them well. I got that that set also, although I haven’t played with it yet. You’ve given me some great ideas 🙂
