Happy Birthday to Me! Card
Happy Birthday to Me! Card

Today is my birthday! So I thought I would share my Happy Birthday to Me Card celebrating me and my friend, Sheina, who’s birthday is today as well! Happy Birthday Sheina!

I recently attended a Virtual Stampin’ Up! Christmas Party that was put on by our team leader. The party was delayed until January since Covid was affecting delivery schedules. For this party, we were we given a package of products including a Pool Party card base, Basic Black Card Stock, Basic White Card Stock, a piece of True Love Designer Series Paper, a Square Vellum Doily and Pool Party Sheer Ribbon to create a mystery card. We could use these supplies anyway we liked to create something to share with the group. We could also add any additional supplies to the card that we wished.

My Additional Supplies

So, I added the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder, Pool Party Ink, VersaMark Ink, White Embossing Powder, Basic Black Card Stock and Rhinestone Basic Jewels to create my final card.

I love the very elegant black/white True Love DSP with the floral motif on one side and geometrics on the other. There are so many ways to add colour to it. You could colour it with the Stampin’ Blends, the Stampin’ Write Markers, sponges or daubers. I chose to add Pool Party Ink using the new Blending Brushes.

I then trimmed it into 3 equal pieces and added it to the Basic Black mat. Once the sentiment was heat set on the Basic Black card stock, I added a trimmed down edge of the Square Doily so that it peeks out. I tied the pretty Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon around my focal point and popped it up with dimensionals. I added a scattering of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to add some shimmer.

Supplies:

Stamps/Bundles/Dies: Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set (151331

Inks: VersaMark Ink (102283), Pool Party Classic Stampin’ Pad (147107)

Paper: Pool Party (122924), Basic White (159276), Basic Black (121045), True Love Designer Series Paper (154281)

Accessories: Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder (152702), Blending Brushes (153611), Pool Party 3/8” Sheer Ribbon(152462), White Stampin’ Emboss Powder (109132), Heat Tool (129053), Square Vellum Doilies (152484), Rhinestone Basic Jewels (144220), Bone Folder (102300), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Glue Dots (103683)

A Grand Adventure Card

My Life is a Grand Adventure Design Team Card
My Design Team Card

It’s Laurie here with A Grand Adventure Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her cute Elephant Adventure Digital Stamp. This little girl looks like she is in for the ride of her life and making great memories as she does! One day, I hope to visit Africa and go on Safari with cameras. It’s on my Bucket List!

For my card, it may be hard to see, but the paper has elephants on it along with some other animals like giraffes, birds, hyaenas and more. So I knew I wanted to use that as my base for the card design. Even the Great Memories tag with the elephant came from that paper pack! The iconic Acacia Tree that is behind the tag came from the Safari Collection Dies and was perfect for my African theme!

My Sweet Wishes Birthday Card

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here sharing my Sweet Wishes Birthday Card for the Design Team of Paper Nest Dolls. This cute digital stamp is called Baker Ellie Digital Stamp. I coloured her with my Copic Markers to look like me since this card was for a friend who is an amazing baker. I figured this was as close to me baking her a cake as was possible! Lol!

Mary, my friend, makes the best cakes and cake pops! They are just to die for! So, I knew that I wanted a Designer Series Paper that had lots of cakes on it. And of course, you need all the accoutrements for baking like a whisk, a rolling pin and an icing bag! Don’t you just love the little muffin pan charm with the paper flowers surrounding it!

My Floral Happy Birthday Card

Wouldn’t you love to receive this pretty Floral Happy Birthday Card in the mail! By changing the sentiment, it would even be a perfect Mother’s Day card! I love the subtle colours of Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz and Rococo Rose that I picked. The Layered with Kindness Stamp Set is s a Distinktive stamp set; it has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. And the matching punches of Label Me Fancy and Label Me Lovely allow you to layer the sentiment! The Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder continues the floral theme to create a whole bouquet! Let’s get started!
