Scenic Sayings... Hey There, Friend


This is such a fun color combination for a card - and, of course, it's one I haven't used yet because it features another one of our fabulous new In Colors....

Read on to learn all about this card...



We start our card with a Pool Party card base, then added a couple of pieces of our 2016-18 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack in Sweet Sugarplum.

Pun Intended... Snappy Birthday


Ok, since I posted a masculine birthday card the other day, I thought I'd post a more feminine birthday card today....

Here goes....



We start our card with an Emerald Envy card base (yet another one of our fabulous new In Colors! - do you think I'll ever stop saying that??).

Next, we added a piece of the Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper, layered on top of a Melon Mambo piece, in the center of our card.

Before we actually added these pieces to our card, we put a strip of Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon around this piece, then tied a "cheater bow" around the strip.  This is the easiest way to make a great-looking bow!

Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper  141648  $13.00



 
Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon  141425  $8.00



Next, we stamped that awesome vintage camera in Basic Black Archival ink from the Pun Intended Host Stamp Set.   When your order reaches $150, you qualify for host benefits (then you can order this host stamp set!).  This stamp set is full of lots of "puns".  To learn more about Stampin' Rewards and Host Benefits, just click here.

  If you join a club, you can order this set the month you are host of the club.



 
Pun Intended Host Photopolymer Stamp Set  141804  $9.50 Host $$



 
 Basic Black Archival Stampin' Pad  140931  $7.00




We die-cut our camera out with our Layering Circles Framelits, then added a Melon Mambo circle die-cut from the same framelits and popped it up on Dimensionals on our card.



Layering Circles Framelits  141705  $35.00




Stampin' Dimensionals  104430  $4.00



Finally, we stamped "Snappy Birthday" (also from the Pun Intended Host Stamp Set) and punched it out with the Classic Label Punch.

Here's a simple birthday card for you today.....

And...  I think it's a perfect masculine birthday card, too (which I never seem to have enough of!).



We start our card with a Dapper Denim card base.  This is such an awesome new In Color!

Next, we added a piece of Very Vanilla card stock to our card and stamped "Happy Birthday" from the Better Together Stamp Set.

Then, we punched out 2 balloons in Tangerine Tango and Pool Party card stock using our Balloon Bouquet Punch.  We brushed a little Clear Wink of Stella on the balloons to make them shimmer a bit - so fun!

Flourishing Phrases... Comfort & Healing to You


Here's a gorgeous sympathy or get well card for you today.....



We start our card with a Crumb Cake card base, then added a layer of Blushing Bride card stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White card stock embossed with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder.  I haven't had much chance to use this embossing folder, so I'm always happy when I can!  I think it works great on this card.




Brick Wall Embossing Folder  138288  $8.50



Next, we die-cut the vines. leaves and flowers using the new Flourish Thinlits and some Pear Pizzaz and Blushing Bride card stock.  As with all of our intricate dies, it's best to have your Big Shot Die Brush, Fine Tip Glue Pen and Silicone Craft Sheet handy!  The Big Shot Die Brush helps to remove all of those little bits inside the vines and flowers, and the Fine Tip Glue Pen and Silicone Craft Sheet make it easy to add the vines and flowers to the card with little mess or fuss.




Flourish Thinlits  141478  $29.00



Big Shot Die Brush  140603  $11.00



Fine Tip Glue Pen  138309  $7.00



Silicone Craft Sheet  127853  $6.00



Then, we stamped "Comfort & Healing to You" from the Flourishing Phrases stamp set in Pear Pizzaz ink and punched it out with our 1 3/4" Circle Punch.  You can buy this stamp set separately, or when bundled together with the Flourish Thinlits, you save 10%!

We also die-cut our Pear Pizzaz circle and Blushing Bride scallop circle behind our sentiment using our new Layering Circles Framelits.
