Isn't this a fun, happy card?!  This is just one of the great cards that we made at the last Stamp A Stack.  This chalkboard look is all the rage right now in the graphics world – so why not in a card too!  This is a simplified version of the chalkboard stamping technique (we used white craft ink instead of white embossing powder).  Another fun technique used on this card, which goes hand and hand with the chalkboard – collaging clear stamps on one block.  I used a great new set that just came out in January to celebrate Stampin' Up!'s 25th year anniversary.  It is called "Best of Birthdays" and features some of our most popular birthday images over the last 25 years. 

Item #132929

The set is just $14.95 for 6 stamps – I used 4 images on the outside and we used the other two images as the inside greeting depending on who the card was for.  Here is how I placed the stamps on the block:

You need one of our larger clear blocks for this technique.  I used block E, Item 118484.  I love our blocks – they are such high quality and the stamps adhere great!  Here is a list of the supplies and the dimensions to recreate this fun card:

Block C was used for the inside greeting stamp.  Happy stamping everyone!
