good morning and welcome back for day three of the papertrey ink november countdown to new stamps including invitation basics, my new birthday themed stamp set. yesterday's cakes have been transformed into today's gift boxes...
by swapping out the cake plate and candles for a bow on top, the two rectangles are now a sweet coordinated gift stack! first up, i used the individual dies to create the ensemble, layering them on extra die cuts for additional weight and durability.
next, by using the larger rectangle twice on end, i was able to create a different shaped present. i love to play around with color and pattern - black and white with brights are always fun. although not planned, i've dubbed this one the pineapple gift in my head! it kind of resembles one, doesn't it?
and last, i stamped a pink and green gift set on the one piece gift die cut (there's also a similar die for a cake with candles as well). with the surprise big basic die cut in white on avocado, this one ended up being somewhat retro cool. gotta love versatility! so that's it for today - another birthday icon and three more cards. rectangles for the win! i'll be back tomorrow for another day of birthday fun. meanwhile, head over to nichole's blog for links to more design team eye candy...
enjoy!
