Stampin' Up! Delightful Daisy Happy Birthday


This is such a fun card!!  I knew as soon as I saw it on Mary Fish's Stampin Pretty blog that we'd have to make it at our Simple, Beautiful Card Class - and we did - earlier this month!

Everyone that came to class, loved it, of course!

To learn more about the Simple, Beautiful Card Class, click here!


We start our card with a Night of Navy card base, then added a piece of Whisper White card stock to our card.

We stamped "Make a Wish" from the Happy Birthday, Gorgeous Stamp Set in Night of Navy ink.  Actually, make sure to stamp first, then adhere the Whisper White piece to your card.  Just in case you don't like how you stamp it, you can always turn the piece over and stamp on the back - even with this Whisper White card stock!  Once you put it on the card, you can't even see the stamp on the other side (our paper is that good!).

Next, we added a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock to our card.

We also added 3 strips of the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP) to our Daffodil Delight piece.  I LOVE this DSP - especially this pattern!  It was the first one I used when I got my new products :).

Finally, we tied a Daffodil Delight 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon bow around our Daisy pieces.  This ribbon is so cute!  I just love the little "x"s along the ribbon!

Stampin' Up! Crafting Forever


How fun is the sentiment on this card???

I'm pretty lucky to say that I get to do something creative just about every day :)

How about you??



We start our "creative" project for the day with a Rich Razzleberry card base, then added a piece of Lemon Lime Twist (this is seriously my favorite color right now!) card stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White card stock.

Next, we stamped that fun pot filled with paint brushes with our Basic Black Archival Ink Pad.  This image can be found in the Crafting Forever Stamp Set. 

Then, we colored in the pot and the paintbrushes with our Watercolor Pencils and blended the brushstrokes from our pencils with our Blender Pens.  I love how well these blender pens work to smooth out the lines made from the pencils.

We also stamped "Do something creative every day." (also from the Crafting Forever Stamp Set) in Basic Black Archival Ink.

We die-cut this oval (along with the Rich Razzleberry Scallop Oval behind it) using our Layering Oval Framelits.

Before adding these oval pieces to our card, we put a strip of the new Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven Ribbon around our card.

Happy Birthday in Stampin' Up! In Colors!!


Do you remember seeing this card in my last blog post about the Annual New Catalog Kickoff Event??  If not, check it out here!

This was one of our make-n-takes at that event.  Here's a closer look at this fun card....


We start our card with a Thick Whisper White card base.  I have to tell you...  it took me a while to "get it" regarding this thick card stock....  I had been using our Regular Whisper White card stock for years as a card base without much thought for the thicker option (I always thought it was good enough, right??), but.....

Just for fun, we made one card with our Regular Whisper White Card Stock and another with our Thick Whisper White Card Stock at our Group Gathering last night, and there is a HUGE difference.  I noticed it as soon as I picked up the cards - I really think the thicker version is about 4 times as thick as our regular version.  The regular card stock/card base just seemed so flimsy!  I don't think I will ever use our regular Whisper White card stock as a card base again.  Now, that's not to say that it's not great for lots of other uses, just not as a card base!

Next, we added 1" strips of each of our In Colors to our card base - in Berry Burst (I finally have that name! - it's Burst, not Blast!), Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, Powder Pink and Fresh Fig.

So simple, yet so bold!

Next, we die-cut that awesome Happy Birthday image with our Happy Birthday Thinlit.

This die is so easy to work with (and makes such an impact on the card!).  Just use the Big Shot Die Brush to release any remaining pieces from the die.

Finally, we added a Glitter Enamel Dot to the "i" in birthday!  These Glitter Enamel Dots are so much fun to play with!  You get 160 glittery dots in ombre shades, so no 2 are exactly alike!  I love the added sparkle they provide on this card!
