After the last few weeks of Christmas themed projects it is time for a complete change! I think a lot of folks who have December birthday’s can get a bit overlooked so I think it is time to give you an idea for one. It speaks to me of being more of a masculine card using the Seaside Notions Stamp Set along with Pretty Peacock and Pool Party Card.
Continue readingI wanted to try a fancy fold called the 4 panel card – I checked out ideas on the internet and came across some lovely samples but they were all started with a 12 x 12 piece of card. I have some colors in this size card stock but I have a much better choice of colors in the regular letter size of 11 x 8 1/2. So I had a footle around with some copy paper and came up with a design using this size card.
I chose to use a couple of stamp sets on this card – Magnolia Blooms and Artisan Textures. As you will see in the video I also a took some ‘greeting’ stamps the Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set.
I do love a good technique! I know Triple Layer Stampin’ has been around for a while but it is always good to revisit and bring it up to date with our current stamp sets and colors.
I have chosen the Tuscan Vineyard stamp set for this card – it has lots of different images that work very well with this technique, and paired it with Itty Bitty Birthday Wishes Stamp Set for my greeting. I am also thinking that it would make a great card for the fellas in our lives, birthday, graduation or even Father’s Day!
The Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set has just about as many different ways to wish ‘Happy Birthday’ as there can be. Rather than choose one of the stamps I used about 4 – 5 of them on today’s card.
Although I have chosen to use different shade of blue this would work in pinks, yellows, greens et al, and still make a great card for both adults and children.
Somewhere it is someone’s birthday today ~ maybe yours? ~ if so this one is for you 🙂
The Happiness Blooms Suite from the 2019 Occasions catalog has a great variety of products which are perfect for creating pretty birthday cards.
I have chosen to feature a couple of the Memories and More items that coordinate with the Bloom by Bloom Stamp set ~ the card pack and the Cards and Envelopes Pack.
