There are some wonderfully whimsical stamp sets in the Annual Catalog. And today’s card is using one of those sets. I paired it with some fun and whimsical DSP as well.
Stamp and Die Bundle
This fun and whimsical, or even retro, stamp bundle is the Tune In Bundle. The television and sentiments are fun but the added details are what really makes it different. The Daffodil Delight stars are what actually makes this a fun card in my opinion. Although I did try to use all the colors and images to make a retro 60’s – 70’s scene.
The stamps used are all from the stamp set. And the dies are all from the matching Dies. I envision using the stars in other projects already. To give the illusion of a TV screen for the front sentiment I used the Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend and scribbled to cover the screen. I was very uneven because I did not want it to be totally solid. And I love that the tv screen is separate from the tv itself.
Papers and Colors
To continue with the whimsy and fun, I went with the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper. This paper is also included in the current Sale with 15% off thru the end of the month. Hint, Hint !! The TV is from one of the pieces from the pack that is a variegated pink. Also the two pieces of DSP in the background are both from the pack. They definitely bring in the fun patterns. To bring out more blue from the upper background paper, I stamped the background images with Azure Afternoon. That is not a color I use very often. The knobs and speaker on the tv are all Berry Burst to give some additional brightness.
To the inside of the card I added a fun statement to go along with the Happy Birthday. You’re A Classic goes right along with the look of the front of the card. And adding the old fashioned energy signal just is the topping on the cake. Hopefully some of you are old enough to remember those from the black and white movies.
Finishes
There is so much going on with this card that it really did not need much in the way of extras or bling. But the stars needed a touch of something. I chose some sequins to further go along with the 60-70s look. They are on one of the stars and then a couple more scattered around.
