Days to Remember – mmm…Stampin' Time

My youngest daughter asked me to make a card for her partner. He will be celebrating his 30th birthday on October 30. The celebration will be an Oktoberfest costume themed event.

For this request I knew that I wanted to make a lederhosen inspired card. The Suit & Ties Dies would be perfect.

Althought the Well Suited Designer Series Paper is retired, I chose one design to use for the ‘shirt’.

The ‘shirt’ was so easy to create. I cut a piece of the DSP and trimmed away a triangle at the centre top to accommodate the collar.The collar had Stampin’ Dimensionals placed on the underside so that it would sit up from the ‘shirt front’. I also popped a small piece of Basic White card behind the triangle.

I small strip of the same DSP was cut using one of the Suit & Ties Dies and glued down the centre to appear to be the placket for buttonholes and buttons. The buttons were die cut from Basic Black card that has Adhesive Sheet attached.

For the lederhosen suspenders and front panel, I thought Cinnamon Cider card would be the perfect colour. The suspenders were cut using the same die I used for the placket.

The suspender buckles were also cut using the Suit & Ties Dies.

I created the centre panel of the lederhosen suspenders using the Seasonal Layers Dies. This piece was then recut to make the shape smaller and more authentic looking.

An image from the Batik Boutique Stamp Set was used to add the floral flourish to the centre panel. It was stamped in Tuxedo BLack Memento ink.

Inside the card, I stamped a birthday greeting on the insert and also created a calendar panel to mark the date of his birthday – turning 30 on the 30th.

I sent photos of the card to my daughter and she is very happy with what I have made for her. And I am very pleased with the end result.

Although, I must confess, I’m reallt sure that I want to go in costume.

Until next time, happy stamping.

Hello and welcome to another project post. Thanks ever so much for popping by.

Today’s card is quite the achievement for me. So often I am late with my sister Karen’s birthday card. Well, it is August 5th and her birthday is September 24th. I am totally organised this year (I just need to remember to post it on time).

I decided to combine the Days to Remember and Party Puffins Stamp Sets. This card needs to be heaps of fun.

It also needs to be a ‘go big, go bold’ type of card. Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight seemed like perfect colours for Kas’s card.

I chose a Misty Moonlight based design from the Beauty of the Earth 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper to use as a background to the calendar and partying puffins. Before adhering the DSP layer to the card base, I wrapped and secured two lengths of Magenta Madness 2020 – 2022 In Colour Ribbon.

To stamp the calendar I used my Stamparatus to ensure great alignment. Can you guess the date of her birthday? I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker ™ to colour the circles in the party hat.

The puffins, as you can see, are boldly pink! They were fussy cut and then ‘painted’ with CLear Wink of Stella. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the calendar and puffins onto the card front.

The birthday cake was stamped and coloured using coordinating Stampin’ Blends. After fussy cutting the cake I used dimensionals to raise it to the same height of the puffins and calendar.

I stamped some candles onto the front of the envelope and ‘happy birthday’ on the card insert. The final step was to add some 2020 – 2022 In Colour Square Gems.

So, what do you think? Do you think she’ll like her card this year?

Until my next post, happy stamping.
