Birthday Shaker Card with the Paper Smooches/Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Stamp Set

My neighbour's youngest turned one this weekend so I decided to ink up the Paper Smooches Stamptember Exclusive, only available at Simon Says Stamp. This set has the most adorable dog and turtle! I'm sure you've seen the turtle used a few times so I decided to feature the cute little dog on rubble, created with the festive dots.



All of the patterned paper is from Crate Paper's Notes & Things 6x6 paper pad. I stamped the dog four times on two different sheets and pieced him together.

The shaker balloon is from the Big Balloons dies and the small, striped one is from the original Balloons dies. The two sentiments featured in the Stamptember Exclusive were too big for my design so I used the 'celebrate' word from Hullabaloo.

I love that this stamp set could be used for so many celebratory occasions, including birthdays, anniversaries, New Year's and even a new pet.

Housewarming Gift Toppers with Just For You

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians!! :)

Kim shared this project on the Paper Smooches Blog last week. It features the Just For You stamp set as a shaker topper for a plate of homemade cookies I baked for friends of ours who moved in across the street.



I used the Ornaments and Pinked Circles dies to create the shaker for the two-part sentiment and scalloped border. For the other topper on this house-warming gift, I used the Bitty Bungalows stamp set and coordinating Bungalows dies.
