Patterned Birthday Party

I created a really fun and happy card today using the new set "Patterned Party".  What youngster, or youngster at heart, would not love to receive this happy card .....

I used a lot of Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz on this one again.  Here is a picture of the bow treatment where you can see the bling in the background...

I used the "quilting" technique for this card.  First I stamped all the images on the Whisper White cardstock, then I ran it through my Big Shot with the Square Lattiace Embossing Folder. Then I spritzed on the Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz.  Then I cut out more balloons and added them on the card with dimensionals.  The bow is Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon tied into a bow and then an In Colour (Poppy Parade) Glimmer Brad in the middle.  Love that bling!!!

Angel Bear Punch Art

I don't know who the originator of this cute Angel Bear is, so if it is you, please email me so I can give you proper credit.  Here's the card I made with the Angel Bear punch art ....

I made a Tent Topper card for this one.  HERE is the link to the tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers.  Here is a picture of it from the side so you can see it open a bit ....

I also used the quilting technique on this card.  First I stamped the sentiment from Bring On The Cake in Basic Black, then I coloured it with the markers.  Then I ran it through my Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Too cute!
Stamps:  Bring On The Cake
Ink:  Basic Black
Markers:  Baja Breeze, Riding Hood Red, So Saffron
Paper:  River Rock Patterns DSP (retired)
Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Soft Suede
Other:  Angel Bear punchie image, Scallop Circles #2 die, 3" Circle die, Square Lattice Embossing Folder
Now the cards are done for my June Punchie Class.  If you would like to join us, please email me and I will get you on the list.  HERE is the Squatting Ladybug post which is the second card we will be making.

Swirly Birthday- The Negatives

Yesterday I posted THIS card using the swirls from the Swirly Die.  Today I have a card for you that uses the negative pieces that are leftover when you remove the swirly pieces from the cardstock.  I think it is quite effective .....

I just adhered the negative pieces (which were originally 2" x 7") to a piece of whisper white cardstock (5 1/2 x 4) making sure where the swirls were removed was left open so the white from underneath shows through.  Then in the middle where the 2 pieces meet, I added some Baja Breeze Seam Binding and a double bow. The sentiment is stamped in Baja Breeze on whisper white cardstock and punched out with the scallop oval punch.  Very simple but, oh  my, so effective.  Don't you think so??  I did the Quilting Technique again on this card.
Stamps:  Sincere Salutations
Ink:  Baja Breeze
Cardstock:  Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Other:  Square Lattice Embossing Folder, Swirly Die (negatives used), Scallop Oval punch
There you go, a card made out of pieces that are usually thrown away, or saved in a scrap bin for later!
Now go out and create a card of your own!

A chance today to make another card or two.  This time I looked up the current Unscripted Sketch #106 challenge and found an awesome sketch.  Here is the card I came up with for the sketch ....

Floral Birthday - CASEd Card Share

I went from Clean and Simple yesterday, to Fussy and Fun today.  This card was CASEd from Chat Wszelaki.  Chat used the tree image from Stampin' Up!'s Contempo Christmas and a small oval punch to create this fun card.  Another card showing how to use a seasonal stamp in a non-seasonal way. 

I used different Designer Series paper - mine is Greenhouse Gals, so I used Pear Pizzazz along with Whisper White and Real Red.  I also used the Ovals die to make the red piece behind the sentiment, it layers perfectly with the Wide Oval Punch.  My ribbon is Real Red Satin.
Another great card CASEd from a very talented lady.  Thanks Chat!
I have one more cased card for you tomorrow, then I actually have a "Glenda Mollet Original" for you!
