Celebrating Birthdays

Celebrate Today 01

We stamped a lot of birthday cards yesterday!  This one was inspired by one done by MandyPandy on Splitcoast.  I loved the angle on her card – and though I changed quite a bit about it – I kept the general layout.  And for yesterday we changed the Candy Dots to Salebration buttons!  Hugs, Fran

Balloon Bash

 

Balloon Bash 01

We all need birthday cards! This is one of the cards we will be making tomorrow at my Birthday Stamp a Stack.  The stamp set is Balloon Bash and the Designer series paper is Birthday Bash – both from the Occasions Mini. I really like the “HB” image!  It’s stamped twice – once on the card and then once fussy cut and popped up.  Hugs, Fran

 

Bombs Away Birthday

Bombs Away Birthday 01

Happy New Year everyone!  Today’s card uses the Photopolymer stamp Bombs Away Birthday This set can only be found under the Photopolymer link on the web site – but it’s worth the search!  It’s hard to tell in the photo but the fringe on the side is cut from Silver foil paper and really shines!

The base is Whisper White with Silver dot Vellum over the top.  Then I added some In Color sequins.  The ribbon was the White Satin ribbon – colored with the lightest Coastal Cabana Blendabilities marker.  To make the record, I punched a 2 1/2″ circle and then traced several Circle Framelits to make the “grooves.”

Can you see them?  This card completes a Creative Crew challenge on Splitcoast to use the fringe scissors 🙂  You can play along too by adding the keyword CCREW0115CF, CreativeCrew, SUO.  Hugs, Fran

Supplies

Blue Birthday

Garden Bench 01

Karen Burniston’s Challenge – number 3!  Blue!  I found a lovely poem about snow and growing old and printed it on to Whisper White card stock then die cut it with a die from Karen’s Katie Label Pivot die.  The Designer Series paper is All is Calm from Stampin Up’s Holiday mini.

Garden Bench 01 open

Inside is the Garden Bench, Tree for All Season and Happy Birthday Pop It Ups!  To make the Happy Birthday curve across the snow, I simply ran it through my Xyron and the addition of adhesive made it easy to bend.

Can you see all the sparkly Dazzling Details snow?  I used acrylic paint to paint some of the branches and added “snow” to the bench and tree (and me, of course!)  Hugs, Fran

Snapshot

Snapshot 01

Snapshot (133812) is a single stamp on page 167 of the catalog.  I paired it up with the On Film framelit and some of the Essential Wooden Elements.  I used Stazon to stamp on the word bubble.  Hint – use a tiny bit of adhesive to stick the wooden element to your grid paper.  Then you can use your Stamp a Ma Jig to place the words on it without it moving.

I stamped the camera twice and fussy cut the center piece to pop it up.
