So Much Happy Birthday Cards

3 birthday card ideas using the So Much Happy stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!
Last night was the December Card Class & Game Night. On the last Tuesday of each month, I offer a virtual card class in the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook Group. (If you'd like to join us for the January class, register here.) I choose a different stamp set or two each month and for December, I chose the So Much Happy stamp set and dies. This is a fabulous all-around stamp set for making birthday cards as well as other celebratory cards. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
Fun birthday card idea using the So Much Happy stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up! This card has a cut out greeting on the front to reveal a layer of patterned paper below.

Birthday Balloons Card

This festive birthday card uses the coordinating dies. I cut the happy from two different colors. Once, from the card base which is Coastal Cabana and also from a separate piece of Bermuda Bay. I layered the Bermuda Bay piece under the card front and offset it slightly so that it appears as a shadow. The 6" x 6" Brights patterned paper is layered on the inside of the card base so that it shows through to the front. I also cut balloons and a string of pennants from this fun patterned paper. 

Floating Away Celebration Card

I love the simplicity of this card. I cut a balloon shape from a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the greetings on the cloud and adhered it to a Whisper White card base using Stampin' Dimensionals. I stamped three balloons on the right side of the card base and added strings using a Gray Granite Stampin' Write Marker.

Birthday Stars Card

For my last card, I stamped the happy multiple times in Melon Mambo on a Melon Mambo card base. I stamped each happy twice so that the colors are faded on some of them. I added banner of 6" x 6" Gorgeous Grape patterned paper. I cut the end of this piece using the cloud die to give it a rounded edge. The greeting is stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Melon Mambo and Gorgeous Grape. I adhered it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals and added stars cut from Daffodil Delight patterned paper.

Ok, let's see my sample card ideas using the Well Suited suite. On y go! Let's get stamping.
​
Birthday card idea for a guy with a shirt front, suspenders, and a snappy bowtie. This masculine card idea uses the NEW Well Suited suite from Stampin' Up! and the Approaching Perfection Sale-A-Bration stamp set.

Well Suited to Perfection Card Idea

The Well Suited suite includes the Handsomely Suited stamp set, the Suit and Tie dies, the Well Suited patterned paper, and a twin combo pack in Basic Gray and Night of Navy. You can use the dies to cut out the stamped images or on their own to create a suit front or shirt front. 
For this card, I cut the suspenders from a piece of the paisley patterned paper using the dies. I also added the buckles cut from silver foil. I cut the rectangle for the shirt, the color, and the placket from a piece of checked patterned paper in the suite. I added Basic Gray buttons. The die for the button cuts six buttons at once! Finally, I stamped the bowtie on Whisper White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Pool Party Stampin' Blends. 

I built the shirt front on a piece of Basic Gray cardstock and then on a Pool Party card base. The sentiment is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set which I got for FREE when I purchased the Well Suited suite. This stamp set has some really fun birthday sayings!
​

Bowtie Birthday Card Idea

I just can't get enough of these bowties! I stamped them repeatedly with Pool Party ink on a piece of Pool Party cardstock which I layered on Basic Gray. I adhered a piece of pin-stripe patterned paper from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper to the Pool Party card base. While the Handsomely Suited stamp set has a happy birthday sentiment, I chose to use the one from the Approaching Perfection stamp set. I stamped in Basic Gray ink on Whisper White and layered it on a piece of Basic Gray cardstock.
Handmade birthday card idea for men using the Handsomely Suited stamp set from Stampin' Up! with a fabulous bowtie and the Nearing Perfection Sale-A-Bration stamp set.

I wrapped a piece of the Basic Gray twine around the Pool Party layer before adhering it to the card front. I tied it in a big loopy bow. Then, I stamped the bowtie with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and colored it with Pool Party ink and cut it with the Suite and Tie dies. I added the bowtie over the bow in the twine using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Fabulous Tie Card design

For my final sample, I stamped one of the two straight ties in the stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I colored the ties using Stampin' Blends in Pool Party, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, and Highland Heather. This front panel is layered on a Basic Gray card base. 
Like the other two cards, the sentiment for this card is from the Approaching Perfection stamp set. It says: "So what if you're a year older. You're fabulous!" I stamped it with Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock and layered it on Highland Heather cardstock. I placed a layer of Basic Gray cardstock on the card front and added a twine bow. Then, I adhered the sentiment over the bow using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Lots of Sample Card Ideas from the NEW Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration

12/23/2020

Lots and lots of sample cards using stamps, papers, and embellishments from the new 2021 January-June Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalog
I am so excited to share this giant stack of swap cards I received last week using all NEW products from the 2021 January-June Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Over the next couple of months, I'm going to be sharing my Top 10 Favorite Things About Being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

​Number one on the list is the community of amazing crafters I get to hang out with. Stampin' Up! Demonstrators are some of the awesomest people I know! Through Stampin' Up! events and online groups, I have connected with so many fellow demonstrators and created lasting friendships. 

The best things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Top on the list is the community of other demonstrators.
One of the things Stampin' Up! Demonstrators love to do is swap cards. Whenever a group of us gets together, you'll always see demonstrators exchanging handmade cards with one another. It is so much fun to see all of the fabulous cards that other demos create and to get new ideas. (We've been doing this since before Pinterest!) Since we couldn't get together in person this fall, we had virtual swaps.
Thank you card idea using the new Simply Succulents stamp set and dies from the NEW 2021 January-June Mini Catalog.
I made 25 of these cards using the new Simply Succulents stamp set and sent them to the person in charge of the swap. She sorted through all of the packets of cards she received, shuffling them all. Each person received a bag of cards back that were all different because they were all from different Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from across the country. How awesome is that? 


So, on y go! Let's check out all the cards that I received!
