Birthday Celebration

I like to keep all of my scraps and find a way to use them on another card. These triangles are left over from another card: Dandy Thank You. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Balloon Celebration

   TPC Studio Greetings

Paper:

   Petal Pink A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5 1/4 x 4 (2)

   Dandy Designs DSP Scraps (1-1/2 x 2-1/2 - cut diagonally & flip)

Ink:

   Calypso Coral

   Fresh Freesia

   Pretty in Pink

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   2-Step Stamping

   CAS

Accessories:

   Pastel Pearls

   Adhesive

The triangles were left-over from another card. I adhered them onto the top-left and bottom-right corner, flipping one of them, as shown above. They were adhered to a Basic White panel.

I then stamped a sentiment, using Tuxedo Black Memento on the top-right of the card.

Next, I stamped the three balloons, using Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia, and Calypso Coral ink. This is a 2-step stamp. So, I stamped the balloons, including the balloon outline and the bits of texture on the bottom of the balloon. I then stamped the string for each of them, as shown above.

I then adhered the panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Petal Pink card front.

Lastly, I added a few Pastel Pearls and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Birthday Shaker

Shaker cards can be just as fun for the creator as they are for the recipient. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Balloon Celebration

Paper:

   Soft Sky A-2

   Basic White 4 x 4-1/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Birthday Memories DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Window Sheet 3-1/4" Sq.

Ink:

   Real Red

Technique:

   Shaker Card

Accessories:

   Layering Circles Framelits

   Cute Star Adhesive-Backed Sequins

   Shaker Contents

   Glue Dots

   Foam Adhesive Strips

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

You can find an easy tutorial with written instructions, pictures, and a short video at SCS to make a Shaker Card. I did make a few changes to mine though.

I die cut a circle on a panel, instead of creating a frame. I did stamp my sentiment on the bottom of the panel first, and then die cut it. So, I added Foam Adhesive Strips around the die cut circle to keep the contents of the shaker card in place, but I used dimensionals along the rest of the panel to keep it from crushing down onto the card front.

My other change was that I adhered a DSP panel onto a Basic White panel to give it a bit more strength. I then adhered the window panel to the top part of it, and then adhered the panel to the Soft Sky card front. 

Lastly, I added a few Cute Star Adhesive-Backed  Sequins around the window and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Birthday Sweaters

I really like all of the texture on this card, especially with the dry embossing folder. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Balloon Celebration

   Birthday Banners

Paper:

   Dapper Denim A-2

   Marina Mist 5-1/4 x 4

   Basic White Scraps, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Cucumber Crush

   Marina Mist

   Real Red

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Punching

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Balloon Bouquet Punch

   Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies

   Cable Knit 3D Embossing Folder

   1/2" Black Scallop Dots Ribbon 4-1/4"

   Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I stamped and punched out the balloons, using Cucumber Crush ink, Real Red ink, and the Balloon Bouquet punch.

I then stamped, die cut, and sponged the sentiment. I used the sentiment from the Birthday Banners stamp set and the Archival Basic Black ink to stamp it. I then die cut it, using the Bunch of Banners Framelits dies, and then sponged it with a bit of Marina Mist ink.

Next, I dry embossed the Marina Mist panel with the Cable Knit 3D Embossing Folder. You may want to mist the panel before embossing to prevent any tearing.

I then adhered the Marina Mist panel onto the Dapper Denim card front.

Next, I added the ribbon across the lower front of the card, using glue dots.

I then added the sentiment with a few glue dots.

Next, I attached the balloons, using dimensionals.

I tied the twine into a bow and added it to the balloons with a glue dot.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Blushing Birthday Balloons with Pizzazz

Who doesn't like birthday balloons? You can pop them, sit on them, bounce them around, write on them, or set them free. Here is a balloon bouquet to celebrate a birthday at any age. Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Balloon Celebration

Paper:

   Blushing Bride A-2

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4

   DSP Coordinating Scraps

Ink:

   Blushing Bride

   Cherry Cobbler

   Archival Basic Black

Technique:

   Sponging

   Punching

Accessories:

   Balloon Bouquet Punch

   Sponge

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

I punched out balloons from 3 coordinating designer series paper sheets (DSP). Then I stamped the balloons individually. 

Next, I sponged the Whisper White panel and randomly stamped stars in the same ink.

I then stamped the balloon strings and arranged the balloons. When I was happy with the arrangement, I adhered them with dimensionals.

I stamped the ribbon bow using Cherry Cobbler.

Added the sentiment in Archival Basic Black. [This can be changed to suit your needs.]

Lastly, I adhered the Whisper White panel to the card base.

I made another card using Pear Pizzazz in place of Blushing Bride. This gave me a more masculine card. What do you think?

Everything is the same except you plug in Pear Pizzazz in place of Blushing Bride. With these three colors, the next choice is Rose Red.
