Floral Birthday


This week I'm sharing  a floral birthday card and I just love these colors together, so soft and feminine.  It seems that no matter how many birthday cards I make I never have one when I need one.  A bunch of these cards could be made and just by changing the colors they will look completely different.  Here is how mine was made.
1.  Stamp Peony Spray on white paper with black ink, color with pencils and use a brush to apply blue chalk around the image. Set aside.
2.  Stamp Ornate Border on the right side of a pink card with VersaMark ink and emboss with white embossing powder.
3.  Stamp Ornate Border on a green panel with Shabby Shutters ink.
4.  Glue pieces to card as shown.
5.  Stamp sentiment from Bouquet for You Perfectly Clear™ Stamps Set with black on a white strip.  Cut the end, sponge with Shabby Shutters, add a Dot Sparkler and pop up on the card with a foam square.

Go Wild

This week the Stampendous Design Team is getting wild!!!  With animals that is.  Dust those brayers off, we're going to make our own background with this Penpattern Zebra!!  Here is how it is done.

 1.  To make the background, stamp PenPattern Zebra on a glossy white panel with VersaMark ink then brayer over it with Wild Honey ink. 
2. Then stamp PenPattern Zebra in the center with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
3.  Sprinkle with Spoonful of Rust and heat from underneath so it doesn't blow off.
4.  Add vine ribbon and brown ribbons by gluing with Zip Dry glue.  Layer onto a black panel then mount on a green card.
5.  Stamp white paper with a stamp from the Industrial set using Wild Honey ink then stamp sentiment from the Wild Sayings Perfectly Clear Set in black.  Sponge edges, layer onto green paper and mount to card.

2.  Stamp Screwloose Hug on white paper with black ink, color with pencils and layer onto orange and blue papers.
3.  Stamp gears from the same set onto silver glossy paper with black ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.  Cut out and glue blue paper.
4.  Stamp sentiment and thinking bubble on white paper with black ink, out line thinking bubble with yellow.

Owl Miss You


This Pop Up Forest Set is another great set from Stampendous that has matching dies available, it really saves a bunch of time not having to cut everything out free hand.  There are three different size dies for the leaves to help create full bushy trees.

Birthday Block Fun


Here is a quick post for today of a card I made for my niece's 12th birthday.  I used the Birthday Block stamp from Stampendous that I just LOVE!  It is so versatile, you can make it look different every time you use it. I used pink, lime and teal Chameleon pens to color all the the "12" I could find and then picked some to the other fun images to color.  It was then layered onto a lime green panel and mounted onto a pink card.  I didn't add any ribbon or 3D items since it was going in the mail.

For other variations you could stamp the image twice and cut out the balloons, cake, present and anything else you would like to color and pop up on the other stamped piece.
