Pennant Birthday

Another card inspired by the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue.  This one I found on page 69, then changed things up and came up with this happy sunny birthday card ....

I used the Petite Pennants Builder Punch and Pennant Parade stamp set to create this awesome card.  Then I was bored with the same old, same old for the sentiment and used my Decorative Label Punch to punch off the edges of the sentiment layers.
Stamps:  Pennant Parade, Happiest Birthday Wishes
Ink:  Poppy Parade, Marina Mist, Lucky Limeade
Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Marina Mist, Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake
Other:  Petite Pennants Builder Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits
I will try to get a tutorial together on how to use the Decorative Label Punch to create the sides of the sentiment layer.

Floral Fusion Birthday card

I was looking for inspiration and started browsing the Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue.  Must be called Idea Book for something, right?  Well, let me tell you, IT IS!  I came across a card on page 10 that used the same stamp set.  I liked the layout and the way they used the stamp so thought I would get inspiration from it and create my own card ....

 I pulled out my Floral Fusion die and created some Pool Party flowers and added an Itty Bitty Flower punch in Cajun Craze, then spritzed it with Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz. 

Stamps:  Happiest Birthday Wishes, Raining Flowers
Ink:  Cajun Craze, Wild Wasabi
Cardstock:  River Rock, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Pool Party
Other:  Floral Fusion die, Itty Bitty Bits Flower Punch, Champagne Mist Shimmer Spritz
Next time you are looking for inspiration, try the IBC "Idea Book and Catalogue".  I'll be back tomorrow with another inspired card for you.
