BIRTHDAY BONANZA TRIO

The BIRTHDAY BONANZA SUITE is such a bright, colourful and fun collection of products to make any birthday celebration an event!

These three cards were made for a Stampin’ Up! ® demonstrator challenge. The theme this month is BIRTHDAY and the supplies we can use are limited to stamps, ink and paper (specifically, Designer Series Paper).

The benefit of photopolymer stamps is that you can see exactly where you are stamping, so you can achieve even spacing.

All three strips of DSP are from the same paper bundle and they coordinate with six Stampin’ Up! colours. I only stamped with five of the colours for two of the cards. For the candle card, I used one colour and used the stamping off technique to achieve two shades.

#simplestamping is not my usual stamping style but it’s refreshing to use the basics.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

Here are the products I used for these cards.

BOTANICAL GIFT BOX

I love being inspired by Sam Hammond Donald’s amazing Pootles’ creations.

This week, she shared on Facebook Live, an upcoming project and an insight into her design process … absolutely in awe!

I have focused on the BOTANICAL PRINTS PRODUCT MEDLEY this week and I hope that I have done justice to her 4″ x 2″ gift box.

It is great that we can use our Stampin’ Blends to colour ribbons and embellishments. This allows us to have even more coordination opportunities.

Terracotta Tile and Pretty Peacock are two of my favourite colours – I hope they will be part of a colour revamp in the future.

Now I need to find something to pop into the box to make this a gift for someone special.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.

BEAUTIFUL BOTANICAL PRINTS

Stampin’ Up! ® has three different types of card making kits to suit different crafting needs. There is great information in the catalogues that show and explain each type – ALL-INCLUSIVE, PROJECT and PRODUCT MEDLEY KITS.

For the card I am sharing today, I chose the BOTANICAL PRINTS PRODUCT MEDLEY:

Open-uri20200111-38773-km9puu

There is so much in this kit and I can’t wait to keep creating with it all.

I was especially drawn to the use of black and white on the 6″ x 6″ DSP and wanted to focus on that, along with one colour choice, Terracotta Tile.

Here is what I made:

The six black triangular die cuts worked so well in framing the DSP and die cut, coloured floral elements.

mmm … I am really happy with this design.

Thanks for popping by … happy stamping.
