Birthday Balloons

It's time again for my Sunday, I Brake for Stamps post and today I have a birthday card for you. It has a little shine, a little sparkle and a little dimension.

Here is how my card was made;

1.  Party Balloons were stamped on watercolor paper with Onyx Black VersaFine ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.
2.  The balloons were colored with Zig Clean Color pens, Glossy Accents was used on top of the balloons and set aside to dry.
3.  Once dry Distress Inks in Pistachio, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans were sponged over the panel.  Use a paper towel to rub the ink off the balloons and embossed area. Glue to a black card.
4.  Stamp Dot Letter Happy Birthday on white paper with Onyx Black ink, emboss with clear.  Cut the words apart and layer onto black paper.  Add a few dots of Caribbean Ocean Nuvo and let dry.
5.  Pop up Happy at the top of the card and glue Birthday to the bottom.
6.  Add black Dot Sparklers and some sequins.

Baby's Birthday

This baby card has several fun techniques that add a little extra zing for that special occasion.  The balloons are embossed and the background is made using a stencil and glitters.  Be sure to stop by the Stampendous website to take a look at the project section for some inspriation.

Here is how my card was made;

1.  Stamp Balloon Bunny on white paper oval with black ink and color with pencils.  Using a VersaMark Pen, go over one of the colored balloons and emboss it with the embossing powder from the Shimmer Shine Embossing Kit that matches the balloon.  Continue to do this one balloon at a time. Chalk around the image with blue chalk using a flat brush.
2.  Make the background with the Mosaic Swirls stencils using the double glitter technique with Crystal and Iced Blue Micro Glitter.  Layer onto a green panel.
3.  Stamp Baby from the Animal Mobile Perfectly Clear Stamp Set in black on white paper die cut with Fitted Frames, layered onto a yellow panel diecut with a larger Fitted Frame.  Color with pencils.
4.  Glue background and oval onto card as shown and pop up Baby.

Love and Fruit

Hi, today I'm sharing a card made with fruit and words from the I Brake For Stamps, Fruits and Flowers Sheet stamps.  

To make this card the grapes were randomly stamped on a white panel with purple ink and Love was stamped with green ink. A strip of glitter paper was glued to the left side and triangles in the left corners. This was then glued to a black panel and set aside. 

Glossy paper was used for the tag and Love, from the set, was repeatedly stamped with VersaMark ink. The tag was then sponged with green ink. The bottom was torn, layered onto black paper and Love was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  A charm was glued on with 3 in 1 Glue. The tag was tied with purple ribbon and glued to the card.

A white card was randomly stamped with Love in green ink, the edges were sponged and the stamped panel was glued onto the card.

Fall Note Card Set

These Fall note cards were made using the new Build A Wreath Die Set from Stampendous and wow is it versatile!

It could be used for a Christmas wreath, Fall wreath, Spring wreath or like I did, not a wreath at all.

To make my cards the pine cones and leaves were die cut from colored paper and sponged with inks darker than the papers.  Ink splatters were added to white panels and yellow zigzag tape was placed at the bottom.  Circles were die cut on the edge of the white panels and layered onto goldenrod paper, then mounted to a rust card.
The sentiment was stamped with black ink inside the diecut circle and a scalloped circle border was die cut from green paper and glued to the circle of the white panel.
