EARLY BIRTHDAY CARD

Hello and welcome to another project post. Thanks ever so much for popping by.

Today’s card is quite the achievement for me. So often I am late with my sister Karen’s birthday card. Well, it is August 5th and her birthday is September 24th. I am totally organised this year (I just need to remember to post it on time).

I decided to combine the Days to Remember and Party Puffins Stamp Sets. This card needs to be heaps of fun.

It also needs to be a ‘go big, go bold’ type of card. Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight seemed like perfect colours for Kas’s card.

I chose a Misty Moonlight based design from the Beauty of the Earth 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper to use as a background to the calendar and partying puffins. Before adhering the DSP layer to the card base, I wrapped and secured two lengths of Magenta Madness 2020 – 2022 In Colour Ribbon.

To stamp the calendar I used my Stamparatus to ensure great alignment. Can you guess the date of her birthday? I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker to colour the circles in the party hat.

The puffins, as you can see, are boldly pink! They were fussy cut and then ‘painted’ with CLear Wink of Stella. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the calendar and puffins onto the card front.

The birthday cake was stamped and coloured using coordinating Stampin’ Blends. After fussy cutting the cake I used dimensionals to raise it to the same height of the puffins and calendar.

I stamped some candles onto the front of the envelope and ‘happy birthday’ on the card insert. The final step was to add some 2020 – 2022 In Colour Square Gems.

So, what do you think? Do you think she’ll like her card this year?

Until my next post, happy stamping.

TIME FOR A SNEAK PEEK

Hello and welcome. Thanks for popping by for today’s blog hop.

It is Wednesday afternoon and that means it’s time for a Freshly Brewed Project Blog Hop.

This week’s theme is It’s a(nother) Sale-a-bration! So it’s time to share some of the fantastic FREEBIES from the Sale-a-bration Brochure. You only have August and September to place your qualifying orders – for each $90 you spend you can choose one of 9 different new products (or you can choose the one product that needs a $180 order).

I decided to use the Penguin Playmates 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper. It coordinates with the Penguin Place Bundle from the Annual Catalogue.

I used a Misty Moonlight card base and stamped the stars and spots image on areas of the card front. Then I cut three 1-1/2″ strips of the DSP. One side of the paper has different penguin, fox and polar bear designs and the other side has coordinating geometric designs. I used the Triple Banner Punch to cut a banner end on two of the strips. These were then positioned evenly on the card front.

Then I fussy cut some of the cute pengions from the DSP and popped them across the card front. And, they look like they’re having fun.

The greeting is from the Penguin Place Stamp Set and it was cut using the long, thin stitched rectangle die from the Suit & Tie Dies set. I stamped the balloon and streamer in Just Jade on the card insert and envelope. LAst, but not least, I added some of the 2020 – 2022 In Colour Square Gems.

I can’t believe that I forgot to place the Penguin Place Stamp Set in the photo of the products I used.

I can’t wait to see what the other Freshly Brewed Project team members share. Make sure that you swing by and see what Sale-a-bration products they have used and what they have made.

What do you think of these projects? Which Sale-a-bration product will be on your wishlist?

UNtil tomorrow, happy stamping.

FLOWER POWER

Hello everyone. Thanks for taking the time to pop by to check out today’s project.

Today I have a card for this week’s Global Design Project theme challenge – #303 is all about Flower Power.

For my card I decided to use the Sweet as a Peach Stamp Set.

I started by stamping the flowers. To do this, I used sponge daubers to apply the colours to each flower before stamping onto Shimmery White cardstock. The coordinating dies from the Peach Dies set were used to cut the flowers. I also stamped and die cut some of the leaves.

I used a Basic Black card base and adhered a panel of paper from the You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper pack.

The Paper Lattice piece was popped up onto another piece of Basic Black cardstock using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then the black panel also popped up with dimensionals.

Some of the flowers had some leaves attached to the back. Then I started attaching the flowers and had them cascade down the lattice.

The birthday greeting was stamped in Calypso Coral ink and was then cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies. Guess what? It has double dimensionals holding it up.

I added some Elegant Faceted Gems and a small bow of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon that was cut in half. The last thing I did was to paint some Clear Wink of Stella across all the flowers and leaves.

I really like the Paper Lattice pieces. They are going to be so much fun to create with.

What do you think? Have you used the Paper Lattice pieces yet?

Until tomorrow, happy stamping.
