Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I am sharing My “Mine” Birthday Card using several retired Stampin’ Up! sets including Bistro Burger Bundle, Friendly Seagulls, and Conversation Bubbles Bundle. I used these 3 retired Stampin’ Up! Stamps Sets and the current Waterside Retreat DSP to create a card for my brother’s birthday! Have to love it when an idea comes to fruition and it turns out just like you envisioned! Yay!
The Details of My “Mine” Birthday Card
For my card, I chose a double z-fold design featuring the Waterside Retreat DSP as the backdrop.
I stamped images on Willow White Card Stock and coloured them with my Blends. This was my first time using Willow White, and I loved it! It’s smooth and ideal for blending inks, so I’ll use it for my Blends colouring moving forward.
There was a lot of colouring involved. So, here is a list of the colours I used and for which items:
- Golden Glow: Bun and Fires
- Pecan Pie: Meat Patty
- Old Olive: Lettuce
- Granny Apple Green: Pickles
- Poppy Parade: Tomatoes
- Pumpkin Pie: Cheese, Seagulls Beaks and Feet
- Gray Granite: Seagulls
- Light Smoky Slate and Color Lifter: White on Birds
Once the colouring was done, it was time to die cut the images out. I fussy cut the seagulls out with my Paper Snips.
To create my card, I used the measurements below to score the card base and the “picnic table” for my accoutrements. I utilized the Country Woods DSP for the cutting board and knife handle. For the cutting board, I trimmed it with my Paper Snips on the left side to fit my card front.
I piled the burger and fries onto the cutting board with a container of ketchup made out of Vellum and Poppy Parade card stock. For the knife’s blade, I used a scrap of Galvanized Metallic Paper, but you could use Silver Foil Paper too.
I decided to use a toothpick for the flag in the burger to make it sturdy since it had no support.
I added the Seagulls with two of them having conversation bubbles. For the “MINE” I used the Stampin’ Journaling Pen and just wrote it in. This was my homage to “Finding Nemo” with all the seagulls shouting it. Makes me laugh just thinking about it!
As a finishing touch I added a final sentiment matted in Misty Moonlight to the front with a Poppy Parade pepper to add interest.
