Sugarplum Birthday

How often do you look at your card and wonder how you made it or question your original idea? It is common practice to try your stamp on a scrap of paper first, but I tend to just stamp. And then I stamp again and again. That is how I made these squares on this card front. I tried to correct my "mistake" too many times. Then I added some roses. Nope, I grabbed the Frost White Ink and applied it with a sponge dauber. What do you think? 

Stamps:

   Happy Birthday Gorgeous

   Bokeh Dots

Paper:

   Chocolate Chip A-2, Scraps

   Whisper White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:

   Sweet Sugarplum

   Mint Macaron

   Chocolate Chip

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Sponging

Accessories:

   Happy Birthday Thinlits Dies

   Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheet

   Frost White Ink

   Sponge Dauber

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the background using Bokeh Dots and Mint Macaron Ink. I stamped several times which created the squares.

I then stamped roses using Sweet Sugarplum ink. The rose is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set. 

I used a sponge dauber to spread some Frost White Ink across some of the roses to try and tone them down a bit.

I die cut the sentiment on Chocolate Chip and a multi-purpose adhesive sheet. I added this along with a star to the card front panel.

Lastly, I adhered the panel to the card front and added the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card.

 I like this starry bokeh background stamp. I only wish Stampin' Up! had made it larger. There is a technique so that you can create your own bokeh background, but I wanted the stars for a more galaxy effect. 

Stamps:

   Lovely You

   Bokeh Dots

Paper:

   Very Vanilla A-2

   Going Places DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Whisper White 3-1/4 x 4 

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Delightful Dijon

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Adhesive

I stamped the starry bokeh background on a 3-1/4 x 4 inch Whisper White panel, using Delightful Dijon. I then trimmed the piece down to 2-3/8 x 3-1/2.

I like the color variation between the Whisper White panel and the Very Vanilla card base. 

I stamped the sentiment using Archival Basic Black.

I then adhered the Just Because panel onto the center of the card base with the Going Places DSP on it.

Silver Thanks

It only takes a hint of silver glitter to turn a simple card into an elegant one. I first stamped the flower flourish along each side of my Whisper White panel. I then added my sentiment toward the top using Pretty Peacock ink. I then switched to my Bermuda Bay ink and randomly stamped the bokeh dots. Lastly, I added a 3/8" strip of silver glitter paper to the left, and few rhinestones and this card not only sparkled, it came alive. What do you think?

Stamps: Beauty Abounds

Paper: Pretty Peacock A-2, Whisper White 5 1/4 x 4 (2), Silver Glitter 3/8 x 5 1/4 

Ink: Pretty Peacock, Bermuda Bay

Once the front panel is stamped and embellished, add your favorite adhesive and glue it onto the card base.

Blowing Well Wishes

Three stamps plus three pieces of card stock and two inks equals one Blowing Well Wishes Card.

I stamped the background stamp in Coastal Cabana. I then added the dandelion and the sentiment using the Archival Basic Black. I then adhered the Whisper White onto the Basic Black and finally onto the Coastal Cabana card base.
