Because It’s Your Birthday

 

Because it's Your BirthdayChalkboard Art — it is so popular right now.  Stampin' Up! now has Chalkboard Cardstock — it is so cool to play with.  It is heavier than our regular cardstocks — one side looks and feels like regular cardstock but the other side has a coating and it feels like a chalkboard.  We have three special Chalk Inks — Aquamarine, Rose Coral and Yellow Citrus — and you can also use the White Craft Ink.  The inks take a little longer to dry so you have to be careful so you don't smear it.

The stamp set I used on this card is called Birthday Bash.  There is coordinating designer paper also called Birthday Bash — it is a specialty paper because two of the papers have gold flecks in the designs that are pretty awesome.  The side panels on this card are adhered down leaving the center to open for the birthday greeting.

From the Herd Birthday

This set is ADORABLE!!!  From the Herd stamp set is in the Occasions Catalog.  It makes me smile everytime I look at the stamp set.
From the HerdThe base of the card is Crisp Cantaloupe with a layer of Black Cardstock.  I added a strip of the Stacked with Love DSP.  I stamped the image with Stazon and colored small areas with markers — Crisp Cantaloup and Basic Black.

I Like Your Face

The Mini Treat Bag is one of my new favorites from the Occasions Catalog — it is so much fun and easy to "whip up" a couple little gift bags.  This little cute was a gift for a hostess at last night's party.  I put a package of the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers inside.
TreatI started with a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock — I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit Die to cut out the bag pieces — I adhered them with Fast Fuse Adhesive (you want to be sure your bag stays closed).  I cut two strips of Best Year Ever DSP (FREE Sale-a-Bration item) and punched the tops using the Angled Tag Topper Punch.  Then I stamped the adorable bear from Cheerful Critters stamp set using Memento ink.  I colored the bear using Coastal Cabana and Crumb Cake Blendabilities.  I punch this piece using the Angled Tag Topper Punch and layered all three tags and adhered to the front of the bag using dimensionals.  I added a bow from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack ribbon and adhered with Glue Dots.  My hostess was very pleased with the treat bag but she was especially happy with the Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers.
