Big DayThe base of this card is Coastal Cabana (one of my favorite colors) with a layer of Early Espresso.  The used the Tiny Triangles embossing folder on the second Coastal Cabana layer.  To this layer I added a piece of Best Year Ever DSP (also a FREE choice with a $50 order) and a piece of Early Espresso 1/4" ribbon.  I cut out a starburst framelit from Early Espresso cardstock.  Next I stamped the birthday cake and candles on a 2 1/2" Whisper White circle using Memento ink.  I colored the cake using Blendabilities — Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana.  I stamped Happy Birthday with Early Espresso ink on Whisper White cardstock and used the Honeycomb Punch to make the banner ends.  This card was pretty quick to make and gives a real WOW factor to the recipient.

Celebrating You

Have you checked out the Crazy About You stamp set in the Occasions Catalog?  What a great stamp set and well worth the investment.
Celebrating YouThe base of this card is Calypso Coral with a layer of Coastal Cabana and then a layer of Whisper.  Next I used a piece of the Irresistibly Yours DSP (you can choose as a FREE Sale-a-Bration item when you place a $50 order).  I sponged Coastal Cabana ink on the DSP to color the areas not embossed — this piece has little polka dots all over it.  I trimmed the bottom of the DSP to make a banner.  I used the Flower from Crazy About You and stamped it on Whisper White cardstock with Calypso Coral ink and punched out with the 1 3/4" Scallop Punch.  I added a pompom from the Calypso Coral Pompom trim.  I stamped the Celebrating from Crazy About You also with Calypso Coral ink.  The used Calypso Coral cardstock and the Hello You thinlit to cut out YOU and adhered to the front of the card using the 2-way glue pen.

The Hello You Thinlit and Crazy About You stamp set are available in a bundle that will save you 15% when you purchase both items — what a great deal.

Moon Lake Happy Birthday

 

Masculine cards are tough to design.  Making cards with flowers and feminine designs is so much easier.  The Moon Lake stamp set from the Occasions Catalog makes designing cards for the men in your life a breeze.
Moon Lake BoatThe base of the card is Whisper White with a layer of Basic Black.  I stamped the boat and tree image from Moon Lake using Memento Ink.  The Happy Birthday is from Crazy About You — the words are separate so I mounted them onto the same block (that is one of the things I love about the photopolymer stamps) and stamped with Memento ink.  The Memento stamp pad is what you should use for black ink with the photopolymer stamps — stazon can have a reaction with the materials used in the photopolymers.  Last I layered the stamped image on the Black layer.  Wow, not one dimensional used on this card — can you believe it.
