It's a Surprise Party!!!! It is Stamp TV's 1st birthday and we just wanted to throw a little party for Gina! Happy 1st Birthday Stamp TV!!!
To celebrate, a bunch of design team members and challenge hostesses decided to create birthday cards using a previous Stamp TV kit (or Gina K set). Leave a comment on every blog along the way because one lucky commenter will receive the all new Stamp TV kit that will be released next week!!!! (And....you're gonna LOVEEE it!) You will have until Sunday, March 14 at 8:00 p.m. central to post comments on all the blogs. The winner will be posted on Stamp TV on Monday!
I chose the previous StampTV kit "Organize It!" I wanted to do something a little different with the dashed semi circle, which is made for making tabs and dividers; I thought it would be really pretty and easy to create a simple scalloped border with it to dress up this stitched ribbon and single layer card! (This 5/8" ribbon is a sneak peek from the new kit, shhhh!) ;) I colored the butterfly with Copics, cut it out, and popped it up on two layers of pop dots for extra dimension. All the dashes add some whimsy to the butterfly image, simulating a flirty little flight path. :)

Melanie, you always take an element and use it in such a unique manner--you take it and turn its use on its ear, GREAT! It was because of seeing such amazing cards on SCS made with your set A Year of Flowers that introduced me to Gina K and Stamp TV. I'm in awe of your talent, and appreciate your generosity in the manner in which you share it with all of us.
Happy Birthday Stamp TV, I look forward to many years of tutorials that will keep on teaching me new techniques--thanks so much Gina and gang!
Beautiful! That butterfly just pops against the black & white.
I really adore the scallop border. You always do such a fine job of thinking outside of the box. Wahoooo Stampt TV!
