Hello Birthday Girl

Confetti and Party Hats — I think that means there’s a birthday.
Today’s card is bright and cheerful and
definitely says HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Hello Birthday GirlThe card base is Pool Party with a layer of Whisper White.
Next is a layer of Pool Party that I embossed with
the new Confetti embossing folder.
I attached a piece of the It’s My Party designer paper to
the bottom of the embossed layer.
I added some of the new Pool Party 3/8″ Glitter Ribbon
across the top of the designer paper.
This ribbon is awesome — it has a nice glimmer
but is soft and pliable — great to tie bows with.
I used a new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called
Hello to stamp the words with Melon Mambo ink.
I stamped the party hat with Crushed Curry ink.
I also used Wink of Stella – Clear to add a bit
of sparkle to the party hat.  What birthday girl
doesn’t want a little sparkle.
I used the Deco Label Framelits to cut
the words out and attached to card
front with dimensionals.

Sky is the Limit

Masculine cards are always so difficult to design.
This new Sale-a-Bration stamp set makes it a breeze.
Grey Sky is LimitThe card base is Basic Grey with a layer of Smoky Slate.
Then a layer of Whisper White that I attached the
Sale-a-Bration Perfectly Artistic designer paper to the
bottom and a piece of Black 3/8″ Satin Ribbon across.
I stamped the vintage airplane from the
Sale-a-Bration stamp set — The Sky is the Limit
using Basic Grey ink.  I poked a hole in the center
of the propeller area and inserted a Mini Silver Brad.
I used Soft Sky ink to stamp clouds around the top of the
Whisper White cardstock.

I used the Triple Banner Punch on a piece of 2″ x 2 3/4″
Whisper White cardstock — stamp Happy Birthday with
Basic Grey ink and more clouds with Soft Sky.
I adhered it to a piece of Basic Grey cardstock and
hand cut the points of the banner.
Adhere to the card front just under the ribbon.

Even my husband liked this card — so ladies get stamping!!!

You Are Totally Awesome!!!

Grateful Bunch is another stamp set from the
Occasions Catalog that I have fallen in love with.
There are so many wonderful images to use.
I can’t wait to pay with it some more.
You are Awesome
The base of the card is Watermelon Wonder.
The next layer is the 12″ x 12″ Kraft cardstock.
Next a layer of Whisper White.
The two strips are another wonderful
new designer paper called Shine On.
It’s a specialty paper because it is extra thick
and the other side has a shine.
There are all different designs that shine,
so it is extra fun to use.

I punched a 2″ circle of Watermelon Wonder.
Stamp the words on Whisper White with
Watermelon Wonder ink and punch out
using the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch.

Then I took scrap cardstocks — Kraft, Watermelon Wonder & Whisper White.
Stamp the three flower image with Watermelon Wonder ink
on all three pieces and punch out with the coordinating
Blossom Bunch Punch.  Again, I love the coordinating
products — it makes our lives so much easier.

I stamped the inside with
“and I am totally grateful”.

I love the words in this stamp set too.
