Here’s a stamp which isn’t retiring – Stylized Birthday. It’s also a really handy – and economical – one. It comes only in a wood mount and is only $10. I haven’t had it long, but it’s extremely useful. I realised I’d been using it a lot on the inside of cards and decided that it deserved to be displayed on the outside. So here is it along with some retiring Party Animal DSP – still available this morning.

I first selected the piece of DSP, which is pacific point and whisper white and decided that it needed another color. The color scheme came about because I have rather a lot of ribbon in the retiring in color, mint macaron, so I added a strip of that around the DSP and then added a bow. The Stylized Birthday is stamped in mint macaron also on whisper white and carefully cut out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies – it JUST fits. I used dimensionals to pop this up so that there wasn’t a lump where the ribbon was. Easy card to create and it uses up DSP. A win win!
