All Squared Away Bundle Cards for Monday Montage 203

Have you stamped and created with the All Squared Away Bundle?  It's a terrific pairing of stamps and dies that have such sweet style and panache.  I thought I would share these cards which were featured in my November Technique Time! Stamp Class.

This Misty Moonlight friendship card was inspired by the incredible Melody Hyde aka Hammond and Penny.  She shared a painting on stamps technique that had to try; that's what I've done here to backdrop my greeting and watercolored florals.  Start by partially inking up one of the square background stamps from the set and then use a wide Waterpainter to pull the ink further across the image.  Stamp and enjoy.  I found this technique works best on Shimmery White Cardstock.

Here's the inside of the friendship card.

For this All Squared Away card I wanted to sample the Cork Paper.  This paper is so buttery and textural.  It's lovely to create with and adds such a unique look to your projects.

I thought I would make a birthday cake for the focal of this petite slimline card.  

For the candle flames I snipped apart a Symmetrical Stems Leaf punch out.  Cute?  Yah ;0)
