Simple and Fun Birthday

 

There is a pair of birthday cards to share today, both the same except different base colors.  The cards are quite simple and quick to put together and have some fun elements to them.

 

I used the Big News stamp set and Sweet Taffy designer series paper and added some Cute Clips and buttons to dress them up just a little bit.

 

Supplies:

Big News

Sweet Taffy dsp

Melon Mambo ink

Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White and Melon Mambo card stock

Cute Clips

Designer series buttons

 

 

Wheely Sweet

 

The stamp set I am using today isn't a new one, but it is in the new catalog along with the embossing folder and designer series paper.

 

Cycle Celebration is a fun set that can be used for several different occasions, but for this card I chose friendship.

 

My accents are the items that are retiring (so get them quick before it is too late!!) - the hang up cute clip and stitched satin Summer Starfruit ribbon.

 

Supplies:

Cycle Celebration

Coastal Cabana, Smoky Slate ink

Bombs Away Birthday

I wanted to make some fun cards using the Bombs Away Birthday photopolymer stamp set and this is what I came up with...

 



 

I took some tags made from the Two Tags Die (retired) and used them a my focus.  The circles are 2 1/2" and 1 3/4" punched circles that have been embossed with the Honeycomb folder.

 

My background on the top ones is stamped with the Mosaic Madness stamp set, Smoky Slate ink on the same color card stock.

 

The background on this one is the bomb stamp, Bravo Burgundy ink on the same color card stock.

 

Supplies:

Bombs Away Birthday

Bravo Burgundy, Pool Party, Primrose Petals, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate card stock

Bravo Burgundy, Midnight Muse and Smoky Slate ink

Just a Little Chalk Talk

 

Sometimes as much as I love a stamp set, I have a hard time figuring out what to do with it on a card.  This stamp from Chalk Talk is one that has been a struggle so far.

 

 

On one card, I stamped it with Basic Black ink and the other with Pacific Point after I stamped off on my scrap paper to lighten it.

 

Each one has some Quatrefancy specialty paper, hung up cute clips and a button with baker's twine.  For the one above, I used a strip of Primrose Petals and added some Gingham Garden washi tape behind the sentiment.

 

On the last one, I had a strip of Basic Black that had been embossed with the Honeycomb folder and used that as my accent piece behind the sentiment.

 

I can't wait to see more samples with this one!

Bring Sunshine

 

I just love the sayings in the Feel Goods stamp set and I thought that the designer series paper Sunshine and Sprinkles would pair with this one nicely.

 

 

I added a Cute Clips - Hung up element and some Marina Mist scallop dots ribbon to each one.  These are very simple and quick to put together.

Overwhelm the World

Our Late Night Stampers challenge this week is to use blue as your main color on a project.  For this one, my "blue" is Midnight Muse and I added some Comfort Cafe designer series paper that had the same color for the images.

 

 

My little flower is from the Everything Eleanor stamp set and the sentiment came from Pursuit of Happiness.

 

The ribbon is part of the Artisan Embellishment kit and the little arrow clip is from the Hung Up Cute Clips collection.
