Birthday

It’s the Last Day of Sale-A-Bration

Last chance! Sale-A-Bration is ending TONIGHT!

Can you believe how fast these past weeks have flown by? If you’re like me, you’ve been soaking up every last bit of creativity and freebies during Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration. And today, I’m showcasing another of my favorite Sale-A-Bration sets the Day to Celebrate stamp set!

Birthdays are meant to be BIG, BOLD, and full of JOY just like this card! I created this festive birthday card with bright colors, fun confetti details which makes it perfect for celebrating someone’s special day!

My card base is from the Basic White Memories & More Assorted Cards and Envelopes pack, and measures 4″ x 6″. I cut a few strips of Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper to 1/2″ x 5-7/8″, I added them to a piece of Basic White card stock cut to 3-7/8″ x 5-7/8″. I staggered the DSP strips as I added them so the colors would be slightly off center. I love the effect it creates.

To create the sentiment I die cut a circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I decided to use the hat image like a cone and stamped it in Azure Afternoon onto the circle. To add the confetti, I stamped the confetti first in Lemon Lime Twist, then stamped it again in Azure Afternoon. Using Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the circle to over the DSP strips. I stamped and fussy cut both the “hooray” and “all day your way” and added them with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The finishing touch is a few Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots.

Inside the card I added another strip of Bright & Beautiful DSP and stamped the sentiment in Azure Afternoon.

    Coloring with Wink of Stella and Adorning Hearts

    / , / Leave a Comment

    My card today was inspired by a color challenge that I participated in a number of weeks ago. Here are the inspiring colors I used…

    I love how these colors look together, I think that I will be using them more often in the future. I hope you find inspiration from them as well. For the card base I stamped the floral image on Petunia Pop Cardstock with Petunia Pop ink.

    The heart was created with the Adoring Hearts photopolymer stamp set. I stamped it in Memento ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then using Wink of Stella I dipped the brush tip in Misty Moonlight to color the leaves, and did the same with Bubble Bath and Petunia Pop, then fussy cut it. Using Wink of Stella gives the prettiest shimmer to the heart.

    I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love in Misty Moonlight on Basic White cardstock. Then I brushed Bubble Bath ink above the sentiment and added the heart with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped Just For You in Misty Moonlight and die cut the banner to add to the heart. I added this to a Misty Moonlight and Bubble Bath layers then added them to the card base.

    Snow Day Crafting

    / , , / Leave a Comment

    I love a snow day! Instead of going out and running errands as we had planned, we stayed in and had a relaxing day while we watched the snow fall. I took advantage of the day to make some cards.

    I used one of my favorite things from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog ~ Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards Pack. I’m loving the pretty spring color pallet and the pink foil accents of the stickers.

    I paired the Cards Pack with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards and Envelopes. The coordination of the card pack and cards & envelopes make card making quick and easy.

    To create this card, I cut a Basic White CS layer and punched a corner with the Very Best Trio punch. I added a small 3″ x 4″ Sweet Thoughts Memory & More card to the Basic White layer, also punching one of the corners with the Very Best Trio punch. I die cut a stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies. With the inside of one of the envelopes from the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards & envelopes I punch a 2-1/4″ Circle, then layered it on the stitched circle. To finish the card I added the Happy Birthday stickers, a few flower stickers and some Brushed Brass Butterflies.

    My second card also includes a layer of what looks like Designer Series paper but its actually the inside of the envelope I used on the first card, I love all the pretty colors and It added the perfect touch to the cards, don’t you think? The sentiment is stamped with the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set and punched with the Hexagon punch. More Brushed Brass Butterflies complete this pretty card.

    My favorite element on this third card is the butterfly. I fussy cut it from one the 4″ x 6″ Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card. I think it looks so pretty with the 3″ x 4″ card. I used my favorite Scalloped Contours Dies to add a few layers in Basic White and Pretty Peacock cardstock.

    This last card was created with a layer of Pebbled Path cardstock with a layer of the Sale-A-Bration Softly Stippled Designer Series paper. On the Calypso Coral cardstock layer I stamped some flowers from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set in Calypso Coral ink. The final layer is another 3″ x 4″ Memories and More card with a few of the stickers with foil accents.

    Have you created cards with the Sweet Thoughts Memories & More Cards yet? I hope you’ll give them a try.
