Birthday Wishes

For You

On this card I am using the Lace Ribbon Border punch, the Decorative Label punch, Sincere Salutations and Elements of Style stamp set all from Stampin' Up! including the card stock and ribbon.  I love the stamp set it has so much detail on the flowers but it was the border punch that won me over, easy to use and large in size.

Die-Cut Birthday Cards

I'm love using die-cuts and the rosette that's on this card  is by Tim Holtz and the cute little butterfly is an embosslit die from Stampin' Up! called Beautiful Wings which cuts out 5 different size butterflies and dry emboss at the same time - pretty cool!  The background stamp is inked with 3 different colours and sprayed with water before stamping onto the card such a fun technique with great results.

Floral Birthday Card

With spring in the air it was hard not to play with floral stamps and bright inks to match.  I used a floral  background stamp on the bottom part of the card, I added two ink colours onto the stamp and misted with water before stamping.  With the main flower I stamped with Versamark and embossed with white embossing powder then inked the flower without worrying about staying within the lines as the white embossing acts as a resist.

Distress Butterfly

I was inspired to make this birthday card by Jennifer Mcguire and this was my take of it using distress inks and water mist.

Birthday Flower

I made this card awhile ago and with flowers making their mark this year, I decided to post this.  This is one of the reasons why I love stamping so much - to be able to create cards beyond a flat page.  

Candle Wishes

This is another card I made at a workshop - I really love the Medallion background stamp from Stampin' Up! I applied the kissing technique with Baja Breeze and Chocolate Chip Classic Stampin' ink pads. After wrapping Chocolate Chip ribbon around the card I attached a bow for this card. I made a similar card using pink instead of Baja Breeze ink and added a flower replacing the bow.  I totally enjoyed making these cards, you should  give kissing technique a try.

Birthday Cakes

If you love the birthday cake stamp you can earn this as part of a Stampin' Up! set-Birthday Bakery (level 1).  All you have to do is have a workshop or book order up to $300 and it's yours for free.  Check it out on the current Stampin' Up! 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalogue pg10.

Birthday Kisses

I am loving this background stamp from Stampin' Up! - Medallion (1191175).  I used the kissing technique were you ink one stamp in a light colour (Pretty In Pink) onto Medallion background  then with the Chocolate Chip ink pad being the darker colour, you ink another stamp- Baroque Motifs (116340) also from Stampin' Up! Put both stamps together so they are kissing.  With the larger stamp apply this to Whisper white card stock and as you can see both stamps transferred onto the card stock, giving you an amazing image.

Happy 30th Birthday

Birthday Card With Fiskars

I love butterflies as you have probably guested by now. First I emboss Happy Birthday onto the card. Then I used Fiskars Butterfly No.2 template, then added ribbon stripe, decorative paper and some flower embellishments.

40th Birthday Card

This birthday card was for a 40th, I used by Big Shot-Sizzlits Butterfly#2. I love using glitter as you can see. I put the wings through a Xyron machine to give me sticky wings without making the card stock wet, I then added Jones Tones Glitter powder which gave me the finishing touch I was looking for.

Birthday Card With Stamp-It Bear

 
This is a money birthday cards, I really enjoyed making these so I made a batch of them and then added the stamp later. I coloured in with chalks and when I was finished, I used Fixative spray so the chalk won't fade or smudge-highly recommend it. This stamp is by Stamp-it in Australia and if you are a bear lover, I know you would love this one.

Birthday Card With Lace Cutting Template

I enjoyed using the Lace Cutting Template so I created my Especially for you Birthday Card and it would also be great for Mother's Day and a Valentines Card. This one I used double sided card stock instead of vellum and as you can see I loved using the metallic paper.

Birthday Card with Scribble Jumbo Roll

This rubber stamp is by Penny Black collection Embrace and I used Stampin' Up watercolour paper so I was able to wet my chalks when colouring in. The pink flowers in the background is a Stampin' Up jumbo roll called Scribble. I finally used my buckle punch by EK Success and a bit of glitter glue here and there to complete this card.
