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

Whisper White, Pool Party card stock

Glittered Happy

I was playing around with some extra tag pieces from the November 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit and put together a few cards like this one.  

The stamp set I chose is called happy celebrations and I used Basic Gray, Smoky Slate and Sweet Sugarplum inks and card stocks while adding a strip of glitter washi tape as an accent.  I think next time I would stamp off the Sweet Sugarplum image that is under my "Birthday to You" so it stands out a little better.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Sweet Sugarplum ink

Basic Gray, Whisper White, Sweet Sugarplum card stock

I was randomly going through some scraps when I put this card together, thinking it would be a good masculine birthday card - and I need a lot of those...

It started with two patterns of the Eastern Palace specialty paper and a die cut circle that was cut using the Stitched Shapes framelits.  Then I added the sentiment from Happy Celebrations and put it all together.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Dapper Denim, Tranquil Tide ink

This is a card I made for one of my nieces a little while ago using the Happy Celebrations stamp set.  I chose Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo for the card stock colors and added Smoky Slate and Basic Gray to the ink colors.

There is a strip of Gold Foil that is embossed with the Perfect Polka Dots folder and the numbers are die cut using the Large Numbers framelits dies.

Recently, I have put together a few different occasions cards using the Happy Celebrations stamp set.  Today's card pairs the Eastern Palace specialty paper with it and uses the coordinating colors of the paper - Dapper Denim, Fresh Fig and Lemon Lime Twist.

I also added one of the fun little mini tassels and attached it by adding a little piece of vanilla ribbon around it and added a glue dot.

For this card, I chose the ink colors (with the exception of the Pacific Point used for Your Day) by the design on the designer series paper pattern.  The pattern comes from the Delightful Daisy collection and I chose Tranquil Tide and Mint Macaron (retired) to pair with it.

The card is really a simple one, but I think it turned out pretty fun with the dot images in the background. It will be a Stamp A Stack option in the upcoming months.

Bright Birthday

I made a few Happy Birthday cards with the Happy Celebrations stamp set a few days ago using shades of yellow and some Watermelon Wonder for my sentiments.

I chose Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight and So Saffron for the circle images and stamped several times before reinking to get different shades.  The "Happy" was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White and I cut it out with my scissors before adding it with Stampin' dimensionals.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Watermelon Wonder, Crushed Curry, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight ink

This is a card I used for a card swap last weekend at a retreat.  I cut down some of the candle cards from the February 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit and used them as one of my layers. 

 

 

The stamping was all done using the Happy Celebrations stamp set and the "Happy" was embossed with the Celebrations Duo folders.  I also added a few enamel stars leftover from another Paper Pumpkin kit.

 

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Calypso Coral, Night of Navy, Crushed Curry, Pool Party ink

Whisper White card stock

Plum and Slate

I don't know if I have used the colors on this card in combination before, but I really like how they work together.  Smoky Slate and Perfect Plum were the colors I added to the Whisper White card base. 

Then I stamped the Happy on another piece of Whisper White and colored in the space around the words with a Smoky Slate marker and popped it up on the card base.

Finally, I added part of a paper doily and some Pompom trim for a little texture.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Smoky Slate, Perfect Plum, Basic Black ink

Whisper White card stock

Pompom trim

lace doilies

Stars and Dots

There is a set of two impressions folders in the Occasions catalog that create a debossed design on your card stock - one says celebrate and the other says happy.  They coordinate with the Happy Celebrations stamp set and I have used them together on the card I created for you today. 

I stamped the card base with one of the images from the Happy Celebrations set and then added a Smoky Slate layer that had been embossed with the Large Polka Dots folder. 

Then I debossed the "celebrate" and stamped over it to make it pop out using the same stamp I previously used on the background.  To finish the card, I added a few Urban Underground embellishments.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Emerald Envy ink

Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Night of Navy card stock

Large Polka Dots folder

Celebrations duo folders

All Star Birthday

I realized that I have very few birthday cards for kids in my inventory and thought the Custom Tee stamp set would be a great one to use for a few.

To add some splash to the backgrounds, I used the Happy Celebrations stamp set on two different layers of card stock behind the die cut shirt.

Supplies:

Custom Tee, Happy Celebrations

Real Red, Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango ink

Pacific Point, Real Red, Very Vanilla card stock

To You!

Today's card is created using another stamp set in the Occasions catalog called Happy Celebrations.  What I love about it is the large words and the layering options. 

I chose to add some Falling in Love designer series paper behind the sentiment layers and added some Very Vanilla 1/4" satin ribbon around it. 

The Happy is double stamped with two of the "happy" layering stamps, one if Crumb Cake and the other in Soft Suede.  The swoosh and "birthday to you" are also from the same set.  To complete it, I added some basic pearls.

Supplies:

Happy Celebrations

Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Soft Suede ink
