Welcome to another month of our Stampin’ Friends blog hop! We have fourteen awesome women hopping this weekend! I was excited to tackle our theme of “Birthday Bash” since everyone needs birthday cards and the spring Stampin’ Up! Catalog has so much cute birthday stuff!
First up is my 3D project! I knew I wanted to learn how to make these square bottom, rounded top bags... so I tore apart one I had and ta-da! (I recently found out that Billie Moan has retired as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator so I had to make a "Billie bow" for the bag on the left!)

You take a 6x6 inch piece of paper and then score 1 3/8 inch from the bottom. Then score and cut the four bottom flaps at 1 3/8 inch intervals-- they will form a square base. The two full-side scores are at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2 inches. Cut the bottom flaps and angle in the right-side small flap.
What really inspired me to make these little bags is a set of chocolate truffles that I found on Boxed for a great deal! The colors of the wrappers were a terrific match to our Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper (DSP). Two chocolates fit in each little bag!
You can get $15 off your first order at Boxed here! The truffles are called Monty's truffles and I tasted tested a few yesterday, just to be sure they were good... They are awesome!

Now on to my card... When I saw the spring catalog I knew I needed the Birthday Wit stamp set and when I saw this card that my upline Candy cased from Connie Stewart, I knew I would be casing to too! Except... I had to use Birthday Wit.
This past fall I committed to teaching a fancy fold card at every class and I did it! This one will be perfect for my class the week after next...
I find this stamp set hysterical and it brings up a funny scene from the movie Bad Moms. If you haven't seen it... you should! But this stamp is the perfect stamp for using our Stampin Write Markers to color each line with a different color, then breathe on it, and stamp-- perfection!
So, that's the birthday bash over here at Sea to Sea Stampin! Now go ahead and comment below, pin our projects, and hop along to #7- Sandra from Australia! I love all of our new artists who joined this past month!!! Don't you?
Happy crafting,
