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.

SOURCES OF INSPIRATION

Hello! Thank you for popping by for today’s project.

I find inspiration for different projects from so many sources. Today’s decor piece was inspired by a local restaurant that I walked past recently. As I wandered past I knew that I had a stamp set that I could use to achieve the style of headwear used in the restaurant’s logo. The restaurant is called Frida Kahlo’s Summer House. The owner, from Mexico, has a relative who used to live around the corner from Frida Kahlo.

Using the restaurants logo I made a template for the shape of the hair and brow. I hand cut this in Basic Black. Then I used the Art Gallery Stamp Set to create the Basic Black and Cherry Cobbler flowers.

I cut three layers for the background and glued them together. The hair and brow were adhered to the Basic White layer before shaping the flowers and adding them using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I attached some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the cardstock before cutting out the letters for ‘Summer House’ and positioned them on a piece of Basic Black cardstock. Black Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to layer this up on the background. An additional flower was attached near the ‘S’ and a few Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added.

Finally, I placed it inside an Ikea shadow frame. I am very pleased with the way this decor project turned out. What do you think? I am looking forward to giving this to the owner for his restaurant.

Until next time, happy stamping.

TIC TAC TOE

Hello! Thank you for popping by to see my second colour challenge card.

Here are the colours, again.

May be an image of text that says '#104 COLOU Vnk IENGES COLO SPIRATION Basic White 第 Cherry Cobbler 城館 Basic Black'

It is fun to take part in each of the Colour INKsiration Challenges. Sometimes it’s really a challenge, and like this time, it’s great to have some favourite colours included.

For this card I decided to play a little tic tac toe (or noughts and crosses). I used the long rectangular die from the Suit & Tie Dies to cut the strips to make the black and white grid for the game. The Playful Alphabet Dies and Foam Adhesive Sheets made the perfect game pieces.

THe greeting is from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set. It was stamped in Cherry Cobbler and trimmed down into sepearate pieces. Then I attached larger pieces of Basic Black cardstock behind each word. The game grid and words were all attached to the card front using Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The July – December Mini Catalogue has some amazing new embellishments, including the ones I have used for this card – Matte Decorative Dots. The dots come in different shades of Bumblebee, Cherry Cobbler, Evening Evergreen and Old Olive. I also stamped one of the images from the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set on the card insert and enveope.

It is great to be able to use products from existing and upcoming catalogues together in a project. It just proves how versatile Stampin’ Up!® products are.

Now I’m off to make some more projects to share with you over the next week. Happy stamping.
