Paint Chip Happy Birthday
One of my all-time favorite stamping techniques is to use paint chip samples found in the paint department at our local home improvement store.
The paint chips do most of the heavy lifting for easy 5 minute card creations!

Here are a few sampler chips in my stash that I have accumulated over the years.
Aren’t they pretty?
As you can tell from the sampler chips, they all have the Behr brand symbol, plus the names of the paint colors.
To get around this, I simply trimmed the top of the chip to just enough to remove the symbol and then trimmed the bottom to match.
Originally, the tops and bottoms of the chips are curved. By trimming them slightly, they are now square.
To cover up the name of the paint color in the center, I simply created a banner for my greeting (retired Celebrating You) that is 3/4″ wide.
Then, attach the paint chip to coordinating mat colors (Petal Pink and Blackberry Bliss), and then to a card base (Basic White). I added some adhesive-backed sequins to complete.
