NEW Blog Hop Header
The Happy Stampers are back with a new color challenge!  My card share today features the Sprinkles of Life stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I’m always in need of cute cards for all the birthday parties my son gets invited to, and this project fits the bill.  I love how the stamp set coordinates with the Tree Builder Punch too!

Can you believe one stamp set can be used to create clouds, trees, cupcakes, ice cream cones, or even a basket of flowers… that’s one versatile tool!

Card Recipe and Tips:

Card Base: Whisper White Thick Card Stock – 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4″

Layers: Mint Macaroon 4″ x 5-1/4″, It’s My Party DSP 2-3/4″ x 5-1/4″, Melon Mambo 3-1/4″ x 3-3/4″, Whisper White 3″ x 3-1/2″

Art Piece: Whisper White 2″ Circle Punch, Tree Builder Punch & Candles, Mint Macaroon 2-1/2″ Circle Punch

  • Stamp the images on Whisper White card stock in waterproof ink.  Choices are Archival or StazOn Black (I used Basic Gray Archival for a softer image).
  • I used the lids of my ink pads and my aqua painter to add the color to the cupcake and candles.
  • I used Stampin’ Write Markers to color the sentiment.  Don’t forget to “huff” on the stamp to remoisten the ink before stamping.  Press down firmly for a clean image and good ink coverage.
  • I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to give the cupcake a little extra dimension and interest.
  • I fussy cut the candles with scissors.

Happy Stampers Spring Blog Hop – Stampin’ Up!

The Happy Stampers are back today with a Blog Hop that is all about Spring!  I have created a project for you today. that features one of my favorite products, the Butterfly Basics stamp set and coordinating Butterfly Thinlits.

Papillon Potpourri Birthday (3 of 4)

This set is just so versatile!  I love how this one turned out with the Typeset DSP and the lace trim.  The black and vanilla color scheme is just so elegant.

Papillon Potpourri Birthday (4 of 4)

I finished off the inside of the card by stamping the fern image and the border stamp with Memento Black Ink.

Happy Stampers Birthday Card Blog Hop – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

33

The Happy Stampers are back today with a Blog Hop that is all about Birthdays!  I have created three projects for you today featuring the Celebrate Today stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and the Hello You Thinlits Dies.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (2 of 16)My projects today are made using the “Joy Fold” technique.  I have been having a great time with this fold lately.  It is a wonderful way to use your Designer Series Paper for a great impact with not too much effort.  The cards today feature the Birthday Bash Specialty DSP, which I am totally in love with!

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (8 of 16)

This picture shows you how the Joy Fold card opens up.  when it is closed, the card just looks like a series of layered panels, but when you open it up, you see that the fold is a bit special.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (16 of 16)

Another product that I love is the Hello You Thinlits Dies.  For my first card I wanted to pull in a little gold to match the gold balloons in the DSP.  I cut the “happy” die  from the Hello You Thinlits five times (4 Bermuda Bay & 1 Gold Foil) and layered them for a three dimensional element.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (10 of 16)

On the inside of the card, I created a little pocket for a gift card!  Isn’t that just too cute!  And, there’s still plenty of room for a little birthday message on the top flap of the card.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (1 of 16)

My next two projects are variations on the same theme.  I used the Celebrate Today stamp set and Balloon Framelits Dies to create the front of each card.  Two of the balloons are stamped directly on the card stock using the masking technique, and the third is die cut from the Birthday Bash Designer Washi Sheets.  I played around with variations of the Hello You Thinlits and the Crazy About You  stamp set for the sentiments on each card.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (4 of 16)

I used different variations of the Birthday Bash Specialty DSP for each card to give them slightly different looks.  For this card, I left the inside blank instead of including the gift card pocket.

Of course, a blog hop wouldn’t be complete without some blog candy!  One lucky reader who leaves me a comment will receive the Cute as a Button Simply Sent Kit. The kit comes with everything you need to make 8 cards!  The buttons and ribbon are just adorable.

To enter to win, leave me a comment telling me about your favorite Stampin’ Up! item for creating birthday cards.  I will announce the winner in my Tuesday Updates post on March 3rd!  Good luck, I can’t wait to hear your comments.

I hope you have enjoyed my projects today and that you will pin them to Pinterest.  You will find a “pin it” button at the bottom of this post below the supply list.  Also, please subscribe to my blog via email by clicking on the “follow” button if you are a fan of my work, and don’t forget to leave me a comment for your chance to win that great blog candy!

A Real Birthday Bash… Stampin’ Up! Style!

Posted on by

1

Now that Valentine’s Day is behind us, it is time to celebrate some birthdays!  I am totally in love with the Birthday Bash DSP from Stampin’ Up!  So much so, that I had to find a way to use every last scrap of it!

Birthday Bash DSP (1 of 8)

Isn’t that festive!  The Happy Stampers group has a “Birthday Bomb” club, where we “bomb” people with birthday cards on their special day.  It is so much fun to receive the cards in the mail when it is your turn.  Well, there are LOTS of birthdays in this club during February and March, so I need to get busy!

Birthday Bash DSP (3 of 8)

I love how the different patterns of this DSP came together.  That is one of the great things about Stampin’ Up!  All the colors coordinate, and it is so easy to create designs that work.

Birthday Bash DSP (5 of 8)

Here’s another variation on the same card idea.  This time I decided to use the brand new Bow Punch!  Isn’t it just adorable?  And, did I mention that the bows are really easy to make and come together quickly… but you should be prepared to use a bunch of glue dots. LOL!

Birthday Bash DSP (4 of 8) Birthday Bash DSP (7 of 8)

For the inside of the cards, I simply added strip of the DSP to the bottom.  It is amazing how something so simple can really make a difference!

Birthday Bash DSP (6 of 8)Well, I succeeded in not wasting any of my Birthday Bash DSP, and I got a jump on some of those birthday cards I’ll need in the coming weeks.  If you are a fan of this project, I hope you will pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of this post following the supply list.

I hope you will consider selecting me as your demonstrator for your stamping needs.  If you need any supplies you can shop now in my online store!  Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or if you would like a catalog.  I’m here to help!

Celebrate your Big Day with Cake! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

2

As soon as I saw the 2015 Spring Occasions Catalog from Stampin’ Up! I just knew I had to get my hands on the new chalkboard paper and Color Box Chalk Ink Pads!  The Big Day stamp set from Sale-A-Bration seemed like just the perfect accompaniment too!

Big Day Chalkboard (2 of 4)

I just love Sale-A-Bration!  It is so fun to get FREE product with every $50 purchase!  I love how the Best Year Ever DSP compliments the colors of this card, and the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack had the perfect ribbon for my bow too!  So, basically, about 90% of this card was created with products that I got for FREE!

Big Day Chalkboard (3 of 4)

I am a big fan of the effect that was achieved with the chalkboard paper and chalk inks too!  In order to get the white on black chalk effect, I used white craft ink (which requires a little extra drying time, so you have to be a little careful when assembling your card.)

Big Day Chalkboard (4 of 4)

I finished off the inside of my card with two of the sentiments & the cake image from the Big Day stamp set.  I just love the cute images and the sayings in this set.  Such a cute card, and with very little effort!

Big Day Chalkboard (1 of 4)

I really like how this card turned out.  It makes me think of a chalkboard menu in a quaint little bakery.  Of course, as always, if you are a fan of this project, I hope you will pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of this post following the supply list.  And remember, you can earn several of the products used in this card for FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration (ends March 31, 2015)!

Celebrate Today Birthday Gift Wrap – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

4

My cousin’s daughter recently celebrated her 4th birthday, and I just couldn’t resist making her gift something truly amazing with the Celebrate Today stamp set and matching Balloon Framelits Dies from Stampin’ Up! (Available as a bundle for a 15% discount.)

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (1 of 9)

Isn’t that just about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?  You’d better believe it stood out on the gift table at the birthday party!  In fact, Naomi’s mom saved it and said she is going to put it in a shadow box with some pictures of her at age 4!

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (8 of 9)

I love all the details that the Celebrate Today stamp set has.  The stars and polka dots are just so cute.  Combine those with the matching die set, and this set is very versatile for a wide variety of celebrations.

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (4 of 9)

In order to personalize the gift, I stamped the number 4 and Naomi’s name on some of the balloons using  the Larger than Life Alphabet & Numbers stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (6 of 9)

I have to say, I am very impressed with myself on this one. LOL.  This gift is just so stinkin’ cute!  Although it did take some time to put together, I had a ball doing it… and really, it didn’t take as long as it looks like it did. 🙂  If you are a fan of this project, I hope you will pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of this post following the supply list.

Amazing Birthday & Flashback DSP Gift Card Envelope – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

And the Winner is…

I did it again!  I forgot to do the blog candy drawing with my Tuesday post.  Luckily, I remembered on my own this time, without needing a reminder from my loyal readers!  So, without further ado, the random number generator picked comment #18, which is Suzanne!  Congratulations, you are the lucky recipient of the Banner Blast stamp set and Banner Punch!  Please send me your mailing address, and I will get that to you in the mail!

Banner Blog Candy (1 of 1)

Now, onto today’s project!  Have I mentioned recently how much I LOVE the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies! Last week I had a birthday party to go to and I was able to whip up this super cute gift card envelope using the Flashback DSP and the Amazing Birthday stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Amazing Birthday Gift Card Envelope (2 of 5)

 I just love how the washi tape adds a great design element to this gift card envelope!  As an added benefit, it also provides reinforcement for the folds so they will hold up better as the envelope is opened and closed!

Amazing Birthday Gift Card Envelope (4 of 5)

I made a little enclosure card to match the envelope to give the gift a finishing touch!

Amazing Birthday Gift Card Envelope (3 of 5)

This gift card holder is so cute and it was very quick to make! I’m sure that you can see the possibilities are endless for creating wonderful gifts with the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies.  If you are a fan of this project, please pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the bottom of this post below the supply list.

Giggle Greetings… Age Only Counts if You’re a Cheese! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

3

Today’s project is a silly birthday card featuring the Giggle Greetings stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  I just love the goofy sentiments in this set.  They are perfect for putting a smile on anyone’s face.

Giggle Greetings - Cheese (5 of 4)

I decided to use my Labels Collection Framelits Dies to create a window in the front of my card.  I like how this technique allows the stamped image to be the focal point of the front of the card as well as the inside.

Giggle Greetings - Cheese (6 of 4)

Giggle Greetings - Cheese (3 of 4)

I colored this image using my Stampin’ Blendabilities markers.  The coloring only took a couple of minutes, but it really makes the card pop!

Sweet Stripes from Paper Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up!

Last week, while I was home caring for my sick little guy, a surprise arrived in the mail… My Paper Pumpkin!  It is always fun to see what’s in the box.  And, it was nice to have a simple project that I could work on while he was napping!

August 2014 Paper Pumpkin (3 of 5)

I have to say I love this month’s kit.  It came with enough supplies to create four large cards and four small cards plus some super cute envelopes to match.  There were also extra die cut sheets and banners that I can use for another project (also nice in case you make a mistake).

The kit includes everything you need… card bases, banners, stamps, ink, adhesive, envelopes, embellishments.  The only thing I had to provide was a pair of scissors. Another nice thing about this kit is that it covered many different occasions: friendship, congratulations, birthday, and thank you!  🙂

The kit includes a cute little circle stamp perfect for making the small polka dots on the white die cut panel.  However, after stamping small polka dots on three of the cards, I decided to pull out my Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and play with it instead.  I love the effect, and I have to admit it went much faster than the individual polka-dots.

Check out the cute envelopes that came with this month’s Paper Pumpkin kit.  The large cards came with pink and yellow solid envelopes, but the smaller cards had cute polka-dots and stars on them!  The small cards are just the perfect size to put on top of a gift too!  For the smaller cards, I used the And Many More stamp set to change up the greetings.
