CUSTOM BIRTHDAY CARD

With two daughters, I often find myself being asked to make cards for their friends. This time it was one for Kat.

The design brief was simple – “just sparkly and florals”.

Thank goodness we have so many gorgeous floral designs across the different Designer Series Papers. For this card I used a design from the Harvest Meadow 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper bundle. I love the simplicity of the Misty Moonlight and Basic White design.

I took a length the white Faux Linen Ribbon, from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and gently teased out a couple of threads and gathered up the ribbon to create this ruched effect. The ribbon was stuck down using Mini Glue Dots and each end was secured, on the underside of the DSP, with Tear & Tape. Then the DSP was adhered to the Misty Moonlight cardbase.

I think my favourite greeting stamp set at the moment is the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. It’s great to mix and match the two different size fonts. The birthday greeting was stamped and then cut using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I attached some Foam Adhesive Sheet to the back of some cardstock and cut Kat’s name out using the Playful Alphabet Dies.

I cut a long thin strip of the DSP and added it to the card insert and envelope.

Florals – tick! Sparkly – I added lots of Artistry Blooms Sequins to the card front – tick!

The card has quite a basic layout but just by choosing gorgeous paper, adding ruched ribbon and embellishments it can be transformed into a lovely card.

Until next time, happy stamping.

A GOLFING INSPIRED BIRTHDAY

We are going to a 30th birthday party today and I wanted to make a card to suit the recipient. Last year I used the Whisky Business Stamp Set for his card. This year I decided to use some of the retired Country Club Designer Series Paper for this easel card.

After I finished making the Night of Navy easeal card base, I cut Garden Green card and some of the Designer Series Paper for the front panel.

Then I used the Playful Alphabet Dies, Foam Adhesive Sheets and Crushed Curry card stock to create the birthday message.

I added a strip of the same golf buggy DSP to the envelope.

To ensure the easel card would stand well, I cut a piece of Night of Navy card stock using one of the Seasonal Labels Dies. This ‘stopper’ also had some Foam Adhesive Sheet attached.

To coordinate with the golf balls and tees DSP I adhered one of husband’s tees on this area of the card.

I love the look of the used tee – it’s a bit like an old trophy.

When the card is opened out, there is a birthday greeting stamped using the Biggest Wish Stamp Set. I really love the way the two different fonts work together with these sentiments; and, they look amazing when stamped in two different colours.

Although this is a masculine birthday card, I couldn’t resist some bling. I used some of the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

As you can see, I forgot to add the Seasonal Labels Dies to the product image. Oops!

So, what do you think of James’ birthday card?

Until next time, happy stamping.

CUSTOM CARD

I posted this card last week but want to share it again for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop. The theme this week is Masculine Birthday and think this one is perfect. I hope you don’t mind seeing it again.

My daughter asked me to make a birthday card for one of her neighbours. When I asked her to tell me something about him, she said that he makes jam – especially rosella jam.

Rosellas - edibles for your garden | PLANTS WHITSUNDAY — The fruit from the rosella plant can be used to make jam.

With that information I decided to use the What’s Cooking and Measure of Love Stamp Sets. I laso used some of the retired Well Suited Designer Series Paper because it is perfect for masculine cards.

The fornt of the easel card has Night of Navy scales weighing some ‘rosellas’ and a knife and spoon for preparation. I stamped these on Gray Granite card using Smoky Slate ink.

I fussy cut the scales and cut the utensils using the Cookin’ Dies.

The birthday greeting, from the Biggest Wish Stamp Set, was trimmed and fussy cut. Then all of these elements were placed on the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The front is lifted up and tucked in under the saucepans to create the easel card.

I added some Foam Adhesive Sheets behind a piece of Night of Navy card and cut the letters using the Playful Alphabet Dies. I’m thinking of printing jammin’ on a piece of Basic White card, trimming that down and popping just ablove the word ‘in’. What do you thing?

The back of the card has a Basic White panel for writing a message. It also has the three chef’s hats image stamped. I added the same image to the envelope.

My daughter also said that Ken’s grandson often joins him for his jam making sessions. I hope Ken likes his custom made birthday card.

I didn’t add any embellishments to the card but did paint a little Clear Wink of Stella on the utensils.

I make lots of birthday cards but really enjoy making them for a particular person so that I can customise it – it’s more special when the card matches the person.

Now make sure that hop across to see what the rest of the team has created:

Until next time, happy stamping.
