Guitar Birthday

I went back to the Epic Celebrations stamp set from this year's Sale-a-bration for these birthday cards.  The backgrounds and sentiments are a little different on each one but I thought the cards would be good for either males or teenagers.

Each has the Sheet Music background stamp image behind the guitars and some Gallery Grunge images as well.  The guitars were stamped on Wood Textures designer series paper and then cut out with the paper snips.  The card on the left uses some Springtime foils specialty paper in the background and the one of the right uses some Tropical Escapes designer series paper.

Supplies:

Sheet Music, Gallery Grunge, Epic Celebrations

Early Espresso, Granny Apple Green, Pacific Point, Merry Merlot ink

Merry Merlot, Pacific Point, Whisper White card stock

Never Too Old

Last month's Paper Pumpkin kit coordinated with the Broadway Birthday Bundle (see below) and I put together a few cards using a the bundle and some leftover pieces from a different Paper Pumpkin kit.  

The pieces from a Past Paper Pumpkin kit include the Crumb Cake colored patterned papers and some self adhesive colored pearls.  I also used a couple pieces of Springtime Foils specialty paper (SAB 2018) for a couple of them. 

The colors I chose coordinate with the Tropical Escape designer series paper pack which you can see pieces of behind the "wish" sentiments on all the cards.

Springtime Phrases

I guess I am carrying over the wedding theme from yesterday with the cards I am showing you today.  These are made with some of the Springtime Florals specialty paper from Sale-a-bration that I colored with Stampin' Blends.  

For my sentiments I chose the Floral Phrases stamp set and I have highlighted the specialty paper with a layer of Gold Foil Paper beneath it.

I enjoyed playing around with different colors of Stampin' Blends for the flower images in this paper, I think the Cherry Cobbler and Pool Party/Bermuda Bay flowers are my favorite.

First Communion

My niece recently had her first communion and I wanted to use the Cross of hope framelits and Inspired events stamp set on her card.  I made another version of the card to give to the boys who also received their first communion and will share that another day.  

First, I colored the background with Stampin' Blends and then added my layers over the top.  The Crumb Cake colored cross was die cut from the middle of the large Crumb Cake circle behind it.  Before I did the die cutting, I embossed the circle with the Basket Weave folder (SAB 2018).  

Supplies:

Inspired Events

Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake ink

Stampin' Blends

Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Wild Wasabi card stock

Springtime Wedding

As much as I don't enjoy coloring, I have done a lot of it on the Springtime foils specialty paper (SAB 2018) using the Stampin' Blends markers.  I will share more samples with you again at another time, but for today I have some wedding cards that I created this way.  

I also added some die cuts in gold foil using the Celebrate you thinlits (SAB 2018) and my sentiment of "forever" is from the stamp set called Always and Forever.  

I played around with a few different color combinations but I really like the vibrant red flowers that come from using Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends.

March Stamp Club Projects

These are the projects my monthly Stamp Club put together this month.  We used several Sale-a-bration items and the Petal Palette, Rose Wonder and Playful Backgrounds stamp sets.

For the layout, I chose to add a couple different designs from the Springtime Foils specialty designer series paper collection (SAB 2018) and the images are from the Playful Backgrounds stamp set.

Our sympathy card uses Petal Palette and Rose Wonder for the stamp sets along with some Petal Passion designer series paper and ribbon from the Shimmer ribbon pack (SAB 2018).

The final card showcases the Basket weave impressions folder (SAB 2018) and Layering Squares framelits.  We added a strip of burlap ribbon and colored the flower images with Sweet Sugarplum and Pear Pizzazz markers.
