So Much Happy Birthday Cards

12/30/2020

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.

Zany and not so Zany Zebras

12/21/2020

0 Comments

 
Have you seen the Zany Zebra stamp set? This is a perfect stamp set for beginners with a variety of sentiments and a little easy coloring. But, it's also a fabulous stamp set for experienced stampers as well. Today, I have two cards to share using the Zany Zebras stamp set, one has a definitely zany zebra and the other has a zebra who's a little more straight laced. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
Birthday card ideas using the Zany Zebras stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Black and White Zebra Card Idea

My first card uses one of the pieces of plaid patterned paper from the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper pack. This is my absolute favorite pack of patterned paper from the 2020 August-December Mini Catalog and it will be gone at the end of December. So, if you love it as much as I do, you might want to pick up an extra pack or two before it sells out.

I stamped the zebra using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it using the Gray Granite Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I used the dark marker over his stripes and the lighter one in the white areas of the zebra. I added a hint of Flirty Flamingo to the insides of his years and his mouth. I also stamped a little grass shadow under his feet using Old Olive ink. I cut the zebra out using the Layering Circle dies.
I embossed the happy birthday sentiment with white embossing powder on Basic Black cardstock. I tied a bow of black bakers twine and placed it under the sentiment. I pulled the black baker's twine from a past Paper Pumpkin box. (One of the awesome things about getting Paper Pumpkin in the mail is getting embellishments that aren't available in the catalogs!)

Cutting Dimensions for This Black and White Zebra Card Design

  • Basic Black:
    • 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
    • sentiment: 1/2" strip
  • Plaid Tidings patterned paper: 5 1/4" x 2 1/2"
  • Whisper White:
    • 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" cut with the Layering Circle dies
    • interior: 5 1/4" x 4"

Wild & Crazy Zebra Card Idea

My second zebra is a kind of a punk zebra with his rainbow mohawk and stripes. All he needs is an earring. I stamped this zebra with Tuxedo Black Memento ink as well and colored it with Stampin' Blends alcohol markers in a rainbow of colors - Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, and Highland Heather. I added a little Gray Granite in the white areas of the zebra.

For the background, I began by stamping a variety of sentiments on a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Then, I embossed this piece of Poppy Parade cardstock with the Brick and Mortar 3D embossing folder. Finally, I swiped it with my Poppy Parade ink pad so that some of the bricks are darker than the others. I added two strips of 6" x 6" Brights patterned paper in Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay. I tied a piece of gold cord from the Forever Greenery Ribbon Combo pack around the piece of Bermuda Bay patterned paper. I cut the zebra using the Layering Circle dies and adhered it to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals. I adhered this entire card front to a Poppy Parade card base using Stampin' Dimensionals as well. 
I lined the card with a piece of Whisper White cardstock and added an additional greeting and some stars. What a fun birthday card to send to a fun person!

Peony Garden in the 2021 Pantone Colors of the Year

Have you seen the Peony Garden Suite of products?! They are absolutely gorgeous and are found in the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog on pages 82-83. While the entire collection of stamps, dies, papers, and embellishments is fabulous, sometimes I think we forget that patterned paper can be used with other stamp sets than those in the suite. Today, I have created three cards using the Peony Garden patterned paper in the Stampin' Up! equivalent of the 2021 Pantone Colors of the year. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
3 Beautiful card ideas using the Peony Garden patterned paper and Field of Flowers stamp set from Stampin' Up! The beautiful gray and yellow of these cards is close to the 2021 Pantone Colors of the Year.

This month, we are all using the Peony Garden patterned paper, so you have the opportunity to see a variety of projects using this beautiful paper. Be sure to read all the way through to the bottom for the list of designers and the links to their blogs. 

2021 Pantone Colors of the Year

Pantone just released their 2021 Color(s) of the Year. Normally, they only choose one color each year, but this year, they have chosen two colors - Ultimate Gray and Illuminating. When I saw them, I immediately thought of Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight from Stampin' Up! So, those are the two colors I chose for today's cards.
