Birthday Expressions

When we went across the state a couple weeks ago for a baseball tournament, I knew I would be in the hotel room with a lot of downtime and brought a bunch of card pieces to put together.  This is one of the cards I made multiples of using the Eclectic Expressions (SAB 2018) and Guy Greetings stamp sets and the Share What You Love specialty paper.

The label is from the Stitched Label framelits collection and the second pattern of designer series paper is punched out with the Starburst folder.  The cards were quick and easy to put together because I had already stamped, cut and punched everything.

Supplies:

Guy Greetings, Eclectic Expressions (SAB 2018)

Basic Black, Gray Granite, Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron ink

Sweet Thank Yous

These are some more of the thank you cards I made for our engaged niece.  I wanted to use the Sweet Soirée specialty paper in some way and chose to add a sentiment and images from the Eclectic Expressions (SAB 2018) stamp set.

As accents, I added a white doily, starburst punched Sweet Sugarplum card stock and some glitter enamel dots.

Foil Frenzy and Eclectic Expressions

As we near the end of Sale-a-bration, I will probably be showing you lots and lots of projects using those free items you still have time to earn.  On the card, I have used three of those items - one from each of the three releases.  

The sentiment comes from the Eclectic Expressions (SAB 2018) stamp set and I added some background stamps and the guitar image from the Epic Celebrations set (SAB 2018).  The Berry Burst card stock is embossed with the Scattered Sequins dynamic impressions folder (which is also a catalog item you can purchase).  For accents, I decided to stay with the sequins theme and use some Tutti Fruitti adhesive backed sequins because they are so easy to apply with the adhesive already on them!

Supplies:

Eclectic Expressions (SAB 2018), Epic Celebrations (SAB 2018)

Memento Black ink, Bermuda Bay ink

Whisper White, Berry Burst card stock

Scattered Sequins dynamic impressions folder

Tutti Fruitti adhesive backed sequins

Stampin' Blends

Foil Frenzy specialty designer series paper

Eclectic Birthday

I always really like using the large sentiment stamps and have made quick birthday card using the Happy Celebrations stamp set.  I used three different patterns of the Eclectic Expressions designer series paper set as well.

This would work well for a masculine birthday card with the colors I chose - Tranquil Tide and Lemon Lime Twist ink and Pool Party card stock.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist ink

Eclectic Birthday

The Eclectic Expressions stamp set (SAB 2018) is a fun one to play with if you like to create backgrounds with lots of color and splash.  For these cards, I chose a few of the different images and picked a different color for each one.

To break up the white I placed a small piece of Lemon Lime Twist card stock behind the sentiment alone with some Bermuda Bay chevron ribbon.  The adhesive backed sequins were added last to give the card a little bit of texture.

Supplies:

Eclectic Expressions (SAB 2018)

Lemon Lime Twist, Fresh Fig, Dapper Denim ink

Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist card stock

Bermuda Bay chevron ribbon

Eclectic Pieces

Today's card uses one of the 2nd release Sale-a-bration stamp sets that just came out a few days ago called Eclectic Expressions.  It is paired with the Pieces and Patterns stamp set and some Pick a Pattern designer series paper.

My ink colors coordinate with the designer series paper colors and I have popped up my sentiment layers to add a little dimension to the card.

Supplies:

Eclectic Expressions (SAB 2018), Pieces and Patterns

Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo, Crumb Cake ink

Whisper White, Crushed Curry card stock
