Tag: handmade birthday card

My card today was inspired by challenges at Freshly Made Sketches, TGIF Challenges! (loosely, as this isn’t necessarily a masculine card, but a gender-neutral card),  and Color Throwdown this week.

My card starts off with Night of Navy cardstock which I dry embossed using the new Polka Dot Basics embossing folder.  I then cut out a scalloped circle using the Layering Circles Framelits from the Naturally Eclectic DSP and adhered it to the card.

I created the lemons using the Lemon Zest Bundle.  I stamped the whole lemon and piece of lemon in Lemon Lime Twist ink and cut them out using the coordinating punch and Layering Circles Framelits, cutting the piece of lemon in half.  I stamped the lemon leaves in Crumb Cake ink and used the punch to cut them out.

I added some Pool Party solid baker’s twine over the leaves for a little detail.  (Hard to see from the picture, but) I stamped on Pool Party cardstock the cut lemon image in Versamark ink and then stamped the sentiment over that in Night of Navy ink.

Enjoy!

My card today was inspired by the Stamp, Ink, Paper challenge this week.

My card today starts off with Pacific Point cardstock as its base.  I then took the cake image from the Birthday Delivery stamp set and stamped it all over the front of the card in Pacific Point ink.

I cut out the wolf image from the Birthday Memories DSP using the coordinating Birthday Friend framelits.

Pause:  Did you know the Birthday Delivery Bundle comes not only with the Birthday Delivery Stamp Set and Birthday Friends Framelits but also with the Birthday Memories DSP.  So fun!

I then cut out the banner using the framelits and I stamped the sentiment in Pacific Point ink over the banner.  I adhered the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I then rubbed the Embossing Buddy over the left upper corner of the card (to prep for heat embossing).  I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and then sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder.  I then heated it up with the Heat Tool.

Enjoy!

My card today was inspired by the challenge over at Freshly Make Sketches this week.

My card is a clean and simple birthday card using the NEW and beautiful Celebration Time Bundle.

I love this bundle because it has really nice sentiments (and fonts) and the framelits are really fun!

My card starts off with Thick Very Vanilla cardstock.  I then took a pattern from the Bundle of Love NEW Designer Series Paper and matted it on some Gold foil sheet.

I then stamped the sentiment from the Celebration Time stamp set in Versamark ink, sprinkled it with Gold Embossing Powder, and heat embossed it.  I cut it out using the coordinating Celebration Thinlits from the bundle.

I cut out a circle using the Layering Circle Framelits to adhere behind the sentiment/cake and adhered it to the card.

Enjoy!

My card today was inspired by the challenge over at Fusion Card Challenge.

It uses the NEW Bike Ride Bundle.

This Bundle caught my eye right away in the new catalog.  I was a little intimidated by it.  Multiple stamping with almost each image, lots of images, and putting a bike together using different pieces.

It’s not half as bad as I thought.  Take your time.  Go one piece at a time.  And it’s well worth using.  The outcome is super cute!!

My card today starts off with Smoky Slate cardstock.  I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock and using a brayer and some Pool Party ink I colored the top of it a bit.  I didn’t want too much color, so I didn’t roll over it too many times.

To build my bike, I used the Bike Ride Bundle (stamp & matching framelits) and Pool Party, Smoky Slate, and Peekaboo Peach ink.  The basket is  stamped using Soft Suede ink (full strength for the outline and stamped off for the fill).

I took a pattern from the Coffee Break DSP to put at the bottom of the card and then stamped the sentiment in Smoky Slate ink using the Special Celebrations stamp set.

The Special Celebrations stamp set I think is going to be one I use a lot.  It has a saying for almost every occasion, as well as a coordinating message for the inside of the card.  I love the font of this sentiment in particular.

Enjoy!
