Birthday – Stamp It Up with Jaimie

Stampin’ Up! All Squared Away Birthday Card

Published on July 12, 2021July 12, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie5 Comments

You know when you see a stamp or bundle in a catalog and don’t put it on your wish list.

And then you start seeing amazing cards using it over and over again and then suddenly you NEED it, yesterday!

Well, that’s how I came about getting the All Squared Away Bundle.

Stampin’ Up! All Squared Away Birthday Card

My card starts off with Calypso Coral cardstock, on which I adhered a pattern from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.

**This pack of paper is HUGE and 15% off right now!!!! Grab another pack of DSP while you’re at it, and I’ll send you my 9 Tips for Using Designer Series Paper! More details at the end of this post.

I then took a Soft Sea Foam pattern from the Subtles Designer Series Paper, matted it on Basic White cardstock, and adhered it to the card front.

I used the Floral Squares Dies to cut out three, well, floral squares and then cut three squares from Soft Sea Foam, Calypso Coral, and Balmy Blue cardstock and adhered them over each other. I adhered the Calypso Coral one down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the All Squared Away Stamp Set in Calypso Coral ink and added a couple of Artistry Blooms Sequins the squares.

Stampin’ Up! Biggest Wish Birthday Card

Published on June 28, 2021June 28, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie3 Comments

You can find inspiration anywhere for paper crafting.

One of my favorite places to turn to for inspiration is Pinterest. It’s jam packed with all things inspiration and not just cards.
You can find nature images and paintings and the such and you can also find a ton of color inspiration.

I’ve actually created a board just for color inspiration and that’s how today’s card came about. Check it ou t. You’ll even find the inspiration for today’s card that I pinned a couple of days ago!

My card starts off Gray Granite cardstock which I covered with a Gray Granite pattern from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper.

I next took a panel of Basic White cardstock and using the Stamparatus (which is key to getting the perfect alignment of stamped birthdays) I stamped the birthday from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set in So Saffron, Gray Granite, Pear Pizzazz, and Shaded Spruce ink.

I then matted this on a panel of Basic White and adhered it down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Next I stamped the “happy” in Shaded Spruce ink and fussy cut it out, adhering it down with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I next stamped the balloons from the Hippo Happiness Stamp Set in So Saffron, Pear Pizzazz, and Shaded Spruce ink and cut it out with the Hippo & Friends Dies. I stamped the strings in Gray Granite ink and fussy cut them out.

Thanks for checking out my card today.

Isn’t this a beautiful combination of colors. You probably think masculine card when you see it (as I’ve used it today). But I’ve created the same layout, same colors, just a pretty, girly card with flowers and bling.

I’m sharing it this week in my Tips & Updates email. If you don’t already receive it, you can head over here. You’ll get to see the feminine version of today’s card tomorrow!! Don’t miss out!

Stampin’ Up! Party Puffins Birthday Card

Published on June 14, 2021June 14, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie6 Comments

You know when you tell yourself you don’t NEED that stamp set…
and then you see everyone making the most adorable cards with it and suddenly you NEED it immediately?!

Am I the only one?
That’s what happened with the Party Puffins Stamp Set and I am so glad I got it!!

Stampin’ Up! Party Puffins Birthday Card

My card starts off with Bermuda Bay cardstock which I covered with a pattern from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper.

**The Snail Mail Designer Series Paper is retiring and only available right now while supplies last! So don’t wait!!

I then took a panel of Basic White cardstock and used the Stamparatus to stamp the puffin in Memento Black ink.

I used the Stamparatus because I wanted a really dark, crisp stamped image and would highly recommend using it if you’re stamping with the Party Puffins Stamp.

On a separate piece of Basic Black, I stamped three fish, the puffin with the party hat, and the sentiment. I colored everything in using the Bermuda Bay, Pumpkin Pie, and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers,

I fussy cut the fish out and the party hat off and adhered them down. I then added a few rhinestones around the fish.

Stampin’ Up! Sweet as a Peach Birthday Card

Published on June 8, 2021June 8, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie10 Comments

Birthday cards are probably the most sent cards. There are always plenty of birthdays coming up that need a card.

This month’s Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop theme is “birthday.” Have fun hopping through the blogs getting lots of inspiration!!

Stampin’ Up! Sweet as a Peach Birthday Card

My card starts off with Polished Pink cardstock which I cut 8-1/2 x 4-1/4 and scored at 4-1/4 for a square card. I embossed the front using the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder.

I then used the Hippo & Friends Dies and cut out a Basic White label. I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet as a Peach Stamp Set in Polished Pink ink.

I stamped the branch from the Sweet as a Peach Stamp Set in Evening Evergreen ink, the flowers in Polished Pink ink (including the little centers), and then cut it out with the Peach Dies. I adhered it down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I then tied a Polished Pink bow to go over the branch and added a few Jewels around.

Stampin’ Up! Artistically Inked Birthday Card

Published on June 7, 2021June 7, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie4 Comments

The Artistic Dies are GORGEOUS and really make a statement.

I love the floral image, as well as the big leaf image and think I’ll be coming back to play with these dies a lot.

Today I used the floral die for a simply designed card.

My card starts off with Thick Basic White cardstock.

On another panel of Basic White, using a Blending Brush, I added a little Poppy Parade to the corner. I then adhered this down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I then used the Poppy Parade pattern from the Ombre Specialty Paper and cut out a floral image using the Artistic Dies. I adhered this down using liquid glue only on the center.

The Artistically Inked Stamp Set has a great birthday sentiment, but I wanted one more scripty, so I stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set in Memento Black ink, fussy cut it out, and adhered it down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Lastly, I added some rhinestones around and a silver bow.

Thanks for checking out my project today!!! I hope you feel inspired to create beautiful, simple cards!!!

Today’s card was inspired by this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge.

Stampin’ Up! Masculine Biggest Wish Birthday Card

Published on June 3, 2021June 2, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie7 Comments

For this week’s color challenge, I’m using the Biggest Wish Stamp Set to make a birthday card!

This stamp set has quickly become a favorite because of its big, chunky words that can really fill a card with lots of color!

This card will actually be my son’s birthday card. His birthday is Sunday and I always enjoy designing a card specifically for each of my kids.

My card starts off with Basic Gray cardstock which I covered with a pattern from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper.

I then took a panel of Basic White cardstock and stamped the birthday from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set in Real Red, Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight, and Bermuda Bay ink. I used the Stamparatus to stamp so that I got a perfect, even line of words.

I then stamped the happy over in Memento Black ink.

I matted this on Real Red cardstock and then adhered it to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin’ Up! Oh Snap Birthday Card

Published on April 22, 2021April 21, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie8 Comments

All this week I’ve been sharing cards using the 2021-2023 In Colors. Today, I’m sharing a card that uses Pale Papaya.

This week’s Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop is a theme challenge, “Things with Wings.” I decided to use a not to obvious option – the Oh Snap Stamp Set. Have fun hopping through the blogs!

My card starts off with Thick Basic White cardstock.

I then adhered a pattern from the True Love Designer Series Paper to the left of the card.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly, I cut out a panel from Pale Papaya cardstock and another panel from the NEW Ombre Specialty Paper. It’s actually not that long, but I snipped it in half and adhered it so it looks like it’s a long panel.

I then stamped the crocodile, bird, and fish in Memento Black ink. I colored them in using Granny Apple Green (croc), a tad of Daffodil Delight (bird), and Pale Papaya (fish) Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut them out and adhered them down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Lastly, I stamped part of a sentiment from the Oh Snap Stamp Set in Memento Black ink and snipped the end in a banner.

Stampin’ Up! A Cut Above Birthday Card & Video

Published on March 23, 2021March 23, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie5 Comments

My grandfather…he was a very special man, and if anyone ever asked where his house was, you’d just say on Sand Creek Road, the one with the immaculate lawn.

When I say immaculate, I mean it – he never mowed in the same direction twice in a row, the lines were perfect – it was ALL about the lines – and he hand dug up (the few and far between) dandelions.

It was greener than green, felt like a carpet, and he took great pride in it.

Ironically enough, my Dad is now the same way – the man lives for his lawn! Today’s card is dedicated to the two lawn-loving men in my life!

Stampin Up A Cut Above Father's Day Masculine Birthday Card

My card starts off with Crumb Cake cardstock, which I covered with a Crumb Cake pattern from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper. I took a small piece of Denim Ribbon and stapled it into the corner before adhering it down.

I then took a panel of Basic White cardstock and cut it using the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I stamped the images from the A Cut Above Stamp Set on it in Memento Black ink.

I colored it in using Night of Navy (pants), Balmy Blue (shirt, clouds), Crumb Cake (hat, shoes), Poppy Parade (mower), Smoky Slate (mower), Granny Apple Green (grass), Ivory (skin), Bronze (hair), and Daffodil Delight (sun) Stampin’ Blends Markers. I then matted it on a panel of Night of Navy cardstock and offset a panel of Poppy Parade cardstock underneath.

Next I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink and cut it out using another Stitched Rectangles Dies., adhering it down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Thanks for checking out my card today. I’ll be back today at 1:00 EST over on YouTube. Today, I’ll be making an Easter card in…sort of…a unique way ::wink, wink:: Head over and subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don’t miss anything!

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Birthday Card

Published on March 19, 2021March 18, 2021 by stampitupwithjaimie3 Comments

I have been having so much fun playing with the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle – it’s brilliant…see what I did there 😉

I had the opportunity share how to make today’s card at our (bigger) team meeting on Sunday.

My card starts off with Terracotta Tile cardstock. I then took a pattern from the True Love Designer Series Paper and matted it on Basic White cardstock to adhere to the card front.

Next, I took a pattern from the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper and cut out a butterfly from it using the largest detailed butterfly die from the Brilliant Wings Dies. I then matted this on Basic White cardstock.

**Please note that the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper was available for a limited time only and sold out just this week. You could supplement it with a pattern from the Ice Cream Corner DSP, a Terracotta Tile pattern from the 2019-2021 DSP, or use a panel of So Saffron cardstock.

Using the same die, I cut out a detailed butterfly from Basic Black cardstock and adhered just the body down in the negative space.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays in Versamark ink on Basic Black cardstock, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder, and heat set it. I cut it out using the Tasteful Labels Dies, adhering it down using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Birthday Card

For the inside, I stamped the butterfly in So Saffron ink.
