Picture Perfect Birthday Scrapbook Pages


Here are some fun scrapbook pages we made recently at class.  I have had so much fun designing scrapbook pages lately!  I think it's all of the awesome designer series paper we have to choose from :).

Check out these pages and let me know what you think!


Our first page starts with a Lemon Lime Twist base, then we added a couple of pieces of the super-fun Picture Perfect Birthday Designer Series Paper (DSP) to our page.  The pictures and images on this DSP add so real and add much color to our pages.

We also added a couple of pieces of Whisper White card stock to our pages - and even added a few of the Tutti Frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins to these pieces as well.

Did you know.... you can click on any of the product images below and be taken directly to
my online store!!

We stamped the candles (from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set) in Berry Burst, Bermuda Bay and Lemon Lime Twist ink, the flame in Peekaboo Peach ink and "Celebrate the Good Stuff" in Basic Black ink and then die-cut our oval with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Then, we layered this piece on top of a Berry Burst Oval die-cut from the Layering Oval Framelits and added some Silver Mini Sequin Trim between the two oval layers.  The sequin trim is so much fun work with and adds some great texture to our pages.

Yum!!  Those doughnuts make me hungry!!


And here's a look at our 2nd coordinating page.....


This time, we started with a Berry Burst base, then added more designs from the Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper pack, as well as a couple of pieces of Whisper White card stock.

We stamped that cute bow (from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set) in Berry Burst ink on the corner of one of our Whisper White pieces.



Those presents look so real - and so fun!!




We also stamped "Happy Birthday" in Berry Burst ink and "Cue the Confetti" in Lemon Lime Twist ink - these sentiments can also be found in the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set.  Then, we punched the end of our Whisper White piece with the Banner Triple Punch.

Next, we die-cut a Berrry Burst circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and then layered it on top of a Lemon Lime Twist Circle die-cut from the Layering Circle Framelits.

Finally, we tied a Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon bow and added it to our sentiment, along with a couple more Tutti Frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

True Gentleman Masculine Cards


These are the 4 cards we're making at the True Gentleman Masculine Stamp-a-Stack Class next week.

I had so much fun putting these "manly" cards together (and I think everyone else will love making them at class, too!).
 


They're perfect for a number of different occasions (like birthdays, father's day, congratulations and more).

Check them each out here...



This first card is a simple one that features many of the products in the True Gentleman Suite - like the Truly Tailored Stamp Set, Tailored Tag Punch, True Gentleman Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon.

We used a Tranquil Tide card base and added a layer of Crumb Cake card stock, then stamped our sentiment in Tranquil Tide ink.  I love the DSP used on this card, too - it kind of looks like a pattern on a men's dress shirt!

 You can click on any of the product images below to take you directly to my online store.

Night of Navy 3/8" Corduroy Ribbon


 

This next card starts with a Night of Navy card base, then we added a layer of Crumb Cake card stock, followed by another fun pattern in the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper.

We again used the Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon on this card, along with a True Gentleman Button tied with Linen Thread, to accent our sentiment.

For this next card, we started with a Crushed Curry card base, then added a piece of Night of Navy card stock and another strip of the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper.

 


We stamped our sentiment in Night of Navy ink - I just love that little mustache on our sentiment for this card - it's too cute!  We also used another True Gentleman Button on this card and tied it with some White Baker's Twine.

For our last card, we stepped things up a bit.  We started with a Tranquil Tide card base, then added a layer of Crumb Cake card stock, followed by 2 pieces of True Gentleman Designer Series Paper.  We also added a strip of Tranquil Tide Finely Woven Ribbon to the middle of our card.


We stamped our sentiment in Night of Navy ink and die-cut it with one of the circles in the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  Then, we layered our sentiment on Night of Navy and Crumb Cake scallop circles die-cut with the Layering Circle Framelits.
