Days to Remember, Perennial Lavender, Birthday Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a super quick and easy card to share with you. Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card  stock. I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather for the layer.

Next I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Perennial Lavender" 12" x 12" package that measured 3-3/4" x 5" and I taped that to the Highland Heather piece and then I taped that to the card base.

The words are from the "Days to Remember" set and were stamped using black Memento ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I punched it out using the "Double Oval" punch. Using this same punch I punched out a scalloped Highland Heather oval. I taped the ovals together and set the piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. And the card was done.

I think it's great that you can put a card together so quickly that doesn't look like it. This is a great way to use up a whole sheet of DSP. You can get 6 cards from one sheet.  Such a deal!

Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop in and see today's birthday card,

Beautiful Friendship, Perennial Essence DSP, Birthday Card

Since all the "stuff" was still sitting out, I thought I would make another daisy card.  Like I put stuff away right away!  Maybe in 2020!!!  Maybe!  LOL I don't often put things away until my worktable is so full that I'm forced to.  I just keep creating until I have no room or lose too many things.  Such a nasty habit to get into.  I need to break myself of it but we are looking at an "Old dog, new tricks" thing here! LOL

So, onto my fun card.  The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock.  This card was cut on the 8-1/2" side. It's scored at the 5-1/2" mark and folded.  This card opens at the bottom.  On top of the card base I taped  a 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "Perennial Essence" 12" x 12" package.  

I taped a piece of Night of Navy seam binding around the front to cover where the DSP and card stock meet. The ends of the ribbon are under the flower.  I taped the ends there.

I stamped the words from the "Beautiful Friendship" set using Night of Navy ink.

I punched out two leaf sets from Mossy Meadow card stock using the "Leaf" punch.

I punched out two daisies using the "Daisy" punch. I taped them together in the center.  I added a "Faceted Gem" to the center.  

I set the flower in place with some glue.  I added some glue to the ends of the leaf stems and slipped them under the flower.

As quick and simple as that.  I think this is a bright and cheery birthday card.  This would also make an excellent get well card too!

Thank you SO much for stopping by today,

Epic Celebrations, Party Panda's Teen Birthday Card, 2018 Sale-a-Brations

What a fun teen birthday card.  To me it looks like a masculine teen card.  Something that I rarely see in handmade cards.  

I found this card on Pinterest.  I believe the original card was done in German but you can use whatever wording  you want.  I was mostly attracted to the colors used.  You can see that original card here.  I tried to go directly to the source but I wasn't able to.

I made this card by using a folded half-sheet of Pacific Point card stock.  On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White.  I had stamped the shoes and colored them using Pear Pizzazz ink and Pacific Point using a blender pen.  I added a little bit of Smoky Slate to the right side and between the shoes to give it some depth.  Another way to give it some depth is to fussy cut the shoes out.  Doesn't sound fun to me!!! LOL  After I stamped the shoes I punched them out using the new "Starburst" punch.  Remember when we use to use a different punch (many years ago) and we'd turn the punched piece and punch it again to get a starburst look?  Now we can achieve it with just one punch!  I punched a 2-1/2" circle using Pacific Point card stock.  I taped the two pieces together and set them aside.  

On the Whisper White piece, I stamped the dots that came with the "Epic Celebrations" set. I stamped the Pear Pizzazz dots first and then the Pacific Point ones. But I did stamp off using the Pacific Point ink.  Once those were stamped I set the circles on top of the card to see where to stamp the words.  The words are from the "Party Panda" set. I used black Memento ink to stamp them.  Then I set the circle layers in place using Dimensionals and the card was done.  I think the longest part of this card was the coloring and that really didn't take that long.
