Driving By meets Simply Marbelous for a retro style Birthday card

February 24, 2022

We made retro style birthday cards at my February card clubs. Look at this:

It's perfect for a guy or even a young adult. The Simply Marbelous designer series paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog is absolutely amazing! It does look a little psychedelic doesn't it?!

SIMPLY MARBLEOUS 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

Save

I covered the entire card front with it; no border at all. I rarely do this but I wanted this unique & special paper to shine! It has 6 different color combinations in it; all monochromatic too! Everyone had a choice of their favorite color.

The birthday greeting is from the Slim Sayings stamp set seen here. We stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black embossing powder.

*There's a video to see how this card was created. You can watch it here.

The car images were stamped with Black Memento ink on a Basic White Stitched rectangle die-cut and then colored in with our Stampin' Up! Blends markers.

I trimmed the balloon image off of the convertible so it could be added to any of the vehicles. See the Driving By stamp set here; it's free with any $50 order through February.

The cute stitched banner is cut from more Simply Marbelous DSP using the Triangle dies.

After the card was assembled we added a finishing tough to the windows – a bit of Shimmery Crystal Effects for some shine.

Sand & Sea Spinner Fun-Fold card

March 17, 2021

For our Team swap this month Candace created this pretty spinner card with the Friends are Like Seashells bundle and the Seashell embossing folder.

Save

This gorgeous embossing folder has been unavailable for a few weeks; but it should be back in stock on the 29th of March.

Her colors are Sahara Sand, Navy & Calypso Coral. She used the Oval dies and the Stitched Shapes dies for her spinner. She also added beautiful shimmer to the shell but it doesn't show up well in this photo.

To make a spinner card you need to adhere a length of twine between two ovals adhering the twine under another layer on the main card. It's not hard; just a bit fiddly.

She went above the window card theme and added a surprise flip up layer!

Save

Stop back in for more window cards all week long!
