Notecard Birthday

Today I have the ultimate in simple cards for you.  Something I have mentioned before are the packs of notecards in the Occasions Catalog.  They are easy to overlook but are on the bottom of page 26 with the Happiness Blooms Memories and More Card Pack.  They are the Happiness Blooms Memories and More Cards and Envelopes.  There are small note cards that measure 3 X 4 and large ones measuring 4 X 6.  You get 10 of each size plus 10 envelopes of each size!  That is a WOW for $8.50.

I took the small notecards and made a quick and easy birthday card.  All I needed was one stamp set and a punch.  Here you are!

 

Stampin' Up!, Happiness Blooms, Amazing Life, Jackie Beers

Happiness Blooms Notecards , 148806

 

The front of the notecard is Night of Navy with a white inside.  I coordinated the yellow layer to match the birthday candles and the Happy Birthday on the inside.  Here is the inside view:

 

It was very simple to punch the circle from the front.  I layed the stamp down to see which punch fit it and determined the 2″ Circle Punch was the perfect fit.  I then centered it on the front and punched.  I stamped through the hole to insure the perfect fit.  That is so easy to do with the photopolymer stamps!  I then stamped the sentiment on the inside with the Daffodil Delight but low enough to not be seen from the outside.

The front sentiment is from the Amazing Life stamp set as well as the cake and Happy Birthday.  So a two product card!  A Win/Win to me.  I hope you think so too.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I have all of the products at the bottom of the page.

Part of My Story

I hope you have looked at the new releases from Sale-A-Bration.  Plus, the Organdy Ribbon was restocked and is available, while supplies last!  But one of my favorite Sale-A-Bration sets is the Part of My Story stamp set.  I really love the sentiments.  For today’s card I have mixed some Annual Catalog products with that stamp set.

 

Stampin' Up!, Part of My Story, Love What You Do, Gingham, Story punch, Jackie Beers

Part of My Story, 149719

 

I LOVE this sentiment!  I feel this way about so many people and I believe it would make for an “anytime” type card.  Or as a pick me up type card.  Did you notice the new punch with the sentiment?  It is the new release companion products to SAB.  It is the Story Label Punch.  Another great Punch, YAY!!

The stamp set I used is the Love What You Do stamp set from the Annual Catalog.  It is a favorite just because of the simplicity.  And I don’t think you can go wrong with a flower over a soft background.  The splatter is a technique of flicking the tip of a Stampin’ Write Marker with the inside of it’s lid.  It takes just a bit of careful practice and you will love it.

For this card I paired Powder Pink and Poppy Parade.  I wasn’t sure at first but I am happy with the finished product.  I do love playing around with all of the Stampin’ Up! colors.  I am often surprised at what looks good together.  To add to the colors, the Ombre Ribbon is actually Calypso Coral!  Surprise 🙂

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you will come back tomorrow for a new project.

Piece of Cake

Have you heard that the Sale-A-Bration Organdy Ribbon Pack is back in stock?  It came back sooner than expected.  Woohoo!!!  It is FREE with a $50.00 order.  And as before, it is while supplies last.

Today’s card is just a cheery card with what has become one of my favorite colors.   Coastal Cabana is sort of a sleeper I believe.  I love it, but then go to using my usual colors.  I used it on one of my Club cards for last month and fell in love with it again.  Here is today’s card.

 

Piece of Cake, 148610

 

I have paired the Coastal Cabana with Melon Mambo and love the way they compliment each other.  The two pieces of Designer Series Paper are from the How Sweet It Is pack.  I love the bright and the more subtle mix of the colors.

Thank you for visiting today.  I hope you will return tomorrow for another new project.  The complete supply list is at the bottom of the page.  Remember that you have less than a month to take advantage of the current JOIN PROMOTION.  You can read all of the details below.

Happy Spring

As I am typing this post, It is pounding rain outside with some thunder in the background.  I know these last couple of months have been difficult for most people weather wise.  I just would like to have a week of no rain!  I think this weather is what inspired today’s card!  😕

 

Fable Friends, 148670

 

LOL!!  This is how I feel.  I was looking through my stamps for inspiration and when I saw this one I knew it was perfect for this post.  I may have gone a tad overboard with my rain drops, LOL!!!, but it is how I feel right now.

I do truly love this Fable Friends stamp set.  It reminds me of my childhood reading, but the figures are just so adorable.  And the “sunshine sentiment” is a wishful thinking sentiment!.

The Stampin’ Blends have really brought back my love of coloring.  I find myself reaching for them quite often.  I hope not too often for you folks!  They were perfect for coloring these cuties though.  The rain is from Touches of Texture.  I inked the stamp with Balmy Blue and stamped off before stamping on the whisper white card stock.  And the finishing touch was the “sun” sentiment with a couple of Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.

Thank you for checking out my rainy day card.  It is supposed to be cool but no rain for a couple of days now so I will try to refrain from weather related cards 🙂

Inspire

The Artfully Aware stamp set is a wonderful stamp set and has the flexibility to show Support and Love for a number of reasons / causes.  I have used it a couple of times but have never posted one of the cards.  When I looked at it yesterday, I just thought how Inspiring people going through difficult situations can be to others.  I know I admire them for their courage and determination.  I also know that I have absolutely nothing to complain about!  Sorry for the narrative, but this is where I got the inspiration for this card.

 

Artfully Aware, 149447

 

This sentiment is from the stamp set Part of My Story.  I LOVE it!!  That is an awesome set with several perfect sentiments.  I saw this one as perfectly matching the Artfully Aware set.

Thank you so much for visiting today!  I hope you have an awesome weekend and will return next week for new projects.

Birthday Note for GDP178

When I saw Brian King’s card for the GDP178 Sketch Challenge yesterday I fell in love with the layout.  So I decided to give it a try as well.  I went with a mixture of Annual Catalog, Occasions Catalog, and Sale-A-Bration products.  It really shows the flexibility and coordination of Stampin’ Up! products I believe.

 

Stampin' Up!, PS you're the best, Crackle Paint, Itty Bitty Birthday, Jackie Beers

P.S. You’re The Best, 146516

 

Here is the sketch for the GDP challenge.

 

I really don’t know why, but I have loved this typewriter since it first debuted.  I think because it stands alone very easily and has the flexibility of adding a small sentiment on the piece of paper.  It makes for quick and clean style cards. Regardless I immediately thought of it for my focal point.

The side sentiment is half of an Itty Bitty Birthday sentiment.  I omitted the second line that says “you are just older”.  I put that on the inside of the card along with Happy Birthday.  I used the Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to color only the half of the sentiment I wanted to use.  The Basic Black marker is the only one you can buy individually.  I believe it is a must have.  And especially for these type occasions.

Thank you so much for visiting today.  I greatly appreciate it and hope you will return tomorrow.  The complete list of products I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
