Fresh Squeezed Stamps' Birthday Bash


HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY, FRESH SQUEEZED STAMPS!

There's a party happening all this week at Fresh Squeezed Stamps
 with lots of inspiration from guest designers and a daily giveaway of an exclusive stamp set,
  PAPER, SCISSORS, INK.  Leave a comment there on Rafflecopter for your chance to win one!

I'm thrilled to be a part of Fresh Squeezed Stamps' week long Birthday Bash.
I'll be sharing two cards today, and....I have my own giveaway!

My first card uses SUBWAY SERIES: OCCASIONS.


I ink distressed the birthday greeting with three distress inks and attached it
to a kraft card that was splattered with white paint and sprinkled
with sequins for a festive touch.
  
For my second card, I knew that I wanted to use EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS,
one of my favorite stamp sets from FSS because of the awesome mixed font sentiments.
I cascaded the flowers and leaves and added the sentiment,
then finished it off with assorted colors of sequins.


As part of the celebration, I'd like to give away an EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS stamp set.
Just leave me a comment on this post by Saturday, October 5th.
I'll choose a winner and announce it some time next week.

Thank you, Ryann and Shannon, for the kind invitation to be a part
of your FIRST BIRTHDAY celebration.
Here's to many more years of Fresh Squeezed fun!
