Stampin’Up!: Papillon Potpourri Birthday Card

Stampin'Up! Papillon Potpourri and Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set

As I type this, I can hear Jackson crying in the background. Nothing serious, just wanting to be fed again! There’s nothing like having a baby in the house for lifting spirits. Thank you for all your well wishes…

Today. I want to share with you a birthday card back in November. I used the Stampin’Up! Papillon Potpourri and Serene Silhouettes Stamp Sets, which go well together.

Stampin'Up! Papillon and Serene Sihouette

I used Wisteria Wonder Card Stock and Ink. I stamped the wildflowers in Gumball Green and inked up the flowers in Wisteria Wonder. On a separate sheet of Whisper White Card Stock, I stamped an extra flower, cut it out and over-layed it with a Dimensional. I stamped one of the butterflies from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set in Pumpkin Pie, cut it out, adhered it and for the butterfly body I placed some Basic Rhinestones. You gotta love those! I tied a pretty Gumball Green bow with Stampin’Up!’s Stitched Ribbon. In the lower right hand corner I tucked the birthday message from the Petite Pairs Stamp Set.

Happy New Year and Stampin’ Hugs,

Hello Blossoms: Birthday Card For Laura

By Diane on March 8, 2012 in BIRTHDAY

Stampin' Up! hand made female birthday card

Today is my niece Laura’s birthday. Laura is my cousin Lisa’s daughter and in my heart Lisa is like a sister to me and Laura like a niece. I wanted to share the birthday card I made for her.

Stampin' Up! Hello Blossoms Birthday Card

This birthday card is pretty straight forward. I used the Stampin’ Up! retired stamp set Hello Blossoms. This is a take on an older card I made. I used Peach Parfait, Blushing Bride and Pear Pizzazz Ink and card stock. Green brads and a Bow made from Baker’s Twine finishes this birthday card off. Laura LOVES frogs hence the Lucky Limeade.

Directions to make this card:

Pear Pizzazz Card Stock 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ and score it at 4-1/4″

Whisper White Card Stock 5″ x 3-3/4″ and 4-1/4″ x 3″

Blushing Bride Card Stock 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″

I took my Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride and Wild Wasabi Markers and inked up the Hello Blossoms Stamp and stamped it on the smaller Whisper White piece of Card Stock. I didn’t quite center it. I stamped it a bit to the right, so I had some balance in the design when I put the bow on. I also didn’t want a solid inked image, so I went light with the markers.

I then inked up the Happy Birthday from the Bring on the Cake Stamp in Pear Pizzazz and stamped it under the Hello Blossoms. I lined it up to the left to have room for the one blossom I wanted to stamp at the end of the happy birthday.

I added some Green Galore Brads (retired) to each flower center.

Happy Birthday Laura!

Check back tomorrow for another button project. Oh, joy!

Today is Freddie’s Birthday…

By Diane on December 17, 2010 in BIRTHDAY

I have been a very busy card-maker. In fact as busy as a bee…

There sure seems to be a lot of December birthdays! Yikes… This card I made for my closest friend Freddie. I just had to use Betsy the bee-keeper because I adore her. This one’s for you Freddie!

For this card I used Daffodil Delight and Basic Black Card Stock. On the smaller piece of Daffodil Delight I stamped the flower from Stampin’ Up!’s Just Buzzin’ By Stamp Set in More Mustard Ink then I used my White Gel Pen and colored in the petals of the flowers. I stamped Betsy in Basic Black Ink on a piece of Whisper White Card Stock and water-colored her in with my Aqua Painter, Markers and Pencils. The happy birthday greeting is from the Happy Moments Stamp Set. Once stamped I used two oval punches, one scalloped, as shown. A piece of Daffodil Delight Taffeta Ribbon and Basic Pearls finishes the card off.

Take a closer look at Betsy:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FREDDIE!

As I mentioned in an earlier post I’m internally doing major construction to my blog. I would love for you have your very own gallery page, but, in order to do that I need some photos of your work. Here’s the deal, you send me, attached in an email, any card, scrap-book page or project you have done using all of Stampin’ Up! products. I’ll feature it on a gallery page I’m designing just for your works of art! Include your name and a title for the featured project. So, get on the band wagon, as they use to say!

Make it a great day!

Stampin’ Hugs,

Today is Janet’s Birthday…

By Diane on December 15, 2010 in BIRTHDAY

Today is my life long friend & cousin Janet’s birthday.

This is the birthday card I designed for her, I love using my Big Shot. Most of all I love using my Big Shot with Embossig Folders. The embossing is easy to achieve and really can’t be beat for detail. For Janet’s card I used the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder on Very Vanilla and Pear Pizzazz Card Stock. I stamped the images from the Stamp Set Punch Potpourri in Soft Suede Ink. I used the matching punches to punch out all the images. Each image has a matching punch. How nice is that?. For the embellishments I added lots of Pearls!

Take a look and click on any picture for an enlargement:

Here are detail views of the card:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JANET!
