Welcome to our All Star monthly blog hop for the Bright & Beautiful Suite! We are excited to share even MORE ideas than what we are offering in our exclusive Video Class Bundle.
I love challenging myself to create beyond intended images. And today I took the balloon tassel die-cut and turned it into a candle flame to make a unique birthday candle card.
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for how make this fun and unique birthday candle card. Then I shared how to make another version of this card using the Layering Leaves Stamp Set, a bit of Masterfully Made Designer Paper, the Painted Texture Embossing Folder, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® product. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.

Thirteen states and Puerto Rico are offering a sales tax holiday for school supplies during the months of July, August, or September. Products that are eligible according to the statute include “items normally used by students in a standard classroom for educational purposes.” To see the names of participating states, products exempted from tax, and sales tax holiday dates 2023 Tax Holiday spreadsheet here.
