Birthday card ideas you’ll want to case! Free project sheet too

On last week’s video I shared two birthday card ideas I know you’ll want to copy/case.

Isn’t this a great idea?! To create the present, I cut a small square of DSP and wrapped ribbon around it with a few loops at the top.

I drew lines from the top of the present for the star die-cuts. The Shining Stars dies worked perfectly. These dies just sold out! They were the product of the month for October; I’m surprised they lasted as long as they did.

This card is a gatefold and the images are from the Candle Party stamp set seen here. It’s so cute! It does come with coordinating dies in the bundle seen here. My colors include Lemon Lime Twist with Azure Afternoon and Poppy Parade. The Designer paper inside is the Timeless Christmas.

I used a white ribbon on the gift but colored it with my Poppy Parade Blends marker. Perfect match!
This is a special and unique birthday card anyone would love to receive!

I did create a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it.

And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more fabulous idea using this stamp set and the Shining Stars dies.

• Gorgeous Fall Swaps from the Flowerbug’s!

  August 18, 2020

  ---

  Today I'm sharing a few of the amazing cards my Flowerbug's Team swapped this weekend.  The theme was Fall cards. 

  Annette made this first one using the Rooted in Nature bundle.  

  

  You may not see it well but she used the leaf dies in this set to create a textured White background.  Her colors are Cinnamon Cider & Rich Razzleberry.  A unique, Asian inspired card!

  

  Paula made this one using the Autumn Goodness bundle.  It's a fun fold too where the front, middle is the card opening! That piece is 3 3/4" X 8 1/2" folded in half. 

  The pretty designer paper is the Gilded Autumn specialty paper.  This bundle includes dies that cut out the flowers and the wheelbarrow.  

  

  Candace made this one with two stamp sets; the Life is Beautiful for the leaves and greeting and the Way to Goat set for the goat who's kicking up the leaves!  Super fun and colorful!

  click on the links below to see them in my store: 

  • Rooted in Nature set & Natures Roots dies
  • Autumn Goodness bundle
  • Life is Beautiful set and Way to Goat set

• Love of Leaves; get two colors on one stamp!

  August 17, 2020

  ---

  I was inspired by a card swap I received to create this pretty card.  It features the Love of Leaves bundle; one of my favorites in the new Stampin' Up! 2020 Holiday Catalog.  there's also a 3/4" strip of the beautiful Plaid Tidings designer paper here which is where the color combination came from. 

  We made this colorful card at my Flowerbug's Team gathering on Saturday.  It features a two toned stamping technique you should really try!  The solid images are perfect for it! 

  

  Can you see the two toned effect on the largest leaf?   It's done like this:  

  • Ink the leaf in Pumpkin Pie (the lightest color of the two).
  • Next use a sponge dauber (can use a sponge too, but it's more difficult to control) and add Rich Razzleberry ink (the darker color) to the edges of the leaf image.  
  • Huff and stamp. Then die-cut with the Stitched Leaves dies. 

  I did the same thing on the long leaf with Crushed Curry & Pumpkin Pie but it isn't showing up as well.

  

  Other details:

  • White CS is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" and textured with the Stitched Leaves dies
  • Plaid Tidings DSP is 3/4" X 5 1/4" 
  • Rich Razzleberry main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". 
  • Inks are Rich Razzleberry, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. 
  • The greeting is punched from the Label Me Lovely punch. I started out with a 1" White strip of card stock.  Stamp the greeting and insert into the punch for a unique shape! 

  

  See the Lovely Leaves bundle here and the Plaid Tidings designer paper here.
