Birthday Owl

Wise up! Hoot said that? Leave off the sentiment and create an all-occasions card. Change up the DSP and color scheme to make a gender-neutral card. The possibilities are endless. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Sassy Salutations

Paper:

   Pretty in Pink A-2

   Kraft 5-1/4 x 4, 4 x 3, Scraps

   Flowers for You DSP 5 x 3-3/4, Scraps

   Whisper White 3-3/4 x 2-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4, Scraps

   Basic Black Scraps

   Old Olive Scraps

   Daffodil Delight Scraps

Ink:

   Passion Pink

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Punching

Accessories:

   Owl Punch

   Leaf Die

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

For the owl, you have two choices: You can punch out the owl using a scrap of Kraft, or you can punch out the owl on the Whisper White panel, adhere it to the Kraft matte, and add the pieces to it. I punched out an owl from a scrap piece of Kraft and adhered it using adhesive.

Once, you have your owl, adhere the DSP on the body and add the eyes above it. You can use googly eyes if you have them.

I then die cut a leaf for the owl to perch on top.

To put the card together, I grabbed the small Whisper White panel and stamped my sentiment on the top of it, using Passion Pink ink.

I then placed my owl on the panel to know where to adhered my leaf branch. I adhered my leaf with adhesive and perched the owl on it.

I then adhered this panel to the Kraft matte.

I took my Pretty in Pink card base and adhered the Kraft panel to the front. I added the DSP on it.

I then took the smaller panel and attached it using dimensionals.

The other Whisper White panel was adhered to the inside of the card.

Birthday Blooms

I really like the rich, fall colors on this card. The designer series paper is beautiful and works well with the framelits and stamp set. Although these items have been discontinued, the card demonstrates how well the products from the past, present, and future coordinate with each other. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Botanical Blooms

   Perfect Pairings

Paper:

   Whisper White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Botanical Gardens DSP 2-1/2 x 5-1/4

   Cajun Craze Scraps

   Hello Honey Scraps

   Mossy Meadow Scraps

Ink:

   Archival Basic Black

   Mossy Meadow

   Cajun Craze

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Botanical Builder Framelits

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

I consider all my purchases from SU as investments. They continue to profit me each time I create a card. I mix the new with the discontinued items. Know that there are always new products that can be substituted for the discontinued ones. I choose to demonstrate the versatility of the products for my benefit and for those who also invested. Have fun!

First, I die cut the top edge of the DSP and adhered it to one of the Whisper White panels.

I then stamped my sentiment on the top left corner of the panel.

Next, I took the Cajun Craze, Hello Honey, and Mossy Meadow scraps and die cut the flowers, centers, and leaves. I did stamp the leaves before I die cut them. These were all then assembled and adhered to the card front using glue dots. 

I then adhered the Whisper White panel to the Basic Black panel and then onto the Whisper White card front.

I added the other Whisper White panel to the inside of the card and added a few rhinestones to the centers of the flowers.

Shelled Vellum

The vellum really pops against this Real Red background. I decided to color only the small shells and the long seagrass. What do you think?

Stamps:

   Friendly Flamingo

Paper:

   Purple Posy A-2

   Real Red 5-1/4 x 4

   Vellum 6-1/2 x 5

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4, 1/2 x 2-1/2

Ink:

   Cinnamon Cider

Markers:

   Purple Posy

   Cinnamon Cider

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Dry Embossing

   Punching

Accessories:

   Seashells 3D Embossing Folder

   Seaside Seashells Dies

   Banner Punch

   Bone Folder

   Glue Dots

   Adhesive

First, I took my vellum panel and dry embossed it, using the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I then used the Seaside Seashells Dies and die cut it.

I flipped it over and colored in the small shells and seagrass using Purple Posy and Cinnamon Cider markers.

I adhered it to the Real Red panel, using glue dots.

This panel was then adhered to the Purple Posy card front.

I stamped my sentiment using Cinnamon Cider on the 1/2 x 2-1/2 inch basic white tag. 

I punched the ends using a Banner Punch. 

It is difficult to see, but I then took my bone folder and curled the tag under "Birthday," and over "Happy." This was also attached using glue dots.

Lastly, I adhered the 5-1/4 x 4" basic white panel to the inside of the card.

Beautiful Birthday Note

 I like the simplicity of this card. The font on the sentiment adds a lovely touch to it. Thoughts?

Stamps:

   Painted Glass

Paper:

   Whisper White 5 x 3-1/2 (Note Cards)

   Fresh Fig 2-3/4 x 3

   Fresh Florals DSP 2-1/4 x 2-1/2

Ink:

   Fresh Fig

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I adhered my Fresh Florals DSP to a Fresh Fig matte. 

I then adhered this to the top center of a note card. If you do not have note cards, you can make your own: 5 x 7 score at 3-1/2, gives you a 5 x 3-1/2 card.

I then stamped my sentiment on the bottom center using Fresh Fig ink. 

Lastly, I added a couple of rhinestones to the centers of the florals.

This is an easy way to use scraps or odd pieces of DSP. Create corners or strips on one side and center your sentiment. Note cards are great to keep on hand.

First, I stamped and die cut my flamingo and one of the tall vines on the 3-1/4 x 4 basic white panel. I used a couple of washi tape strips to keep the dies in place.

Next, I stamped the grasses surrounded by water on the bottom of a 5-1/4 x 4" basic white panel. I used Seaside Spray ink.

Then I stamped the tall vines using Night of Navy ink. I also stamped the sentiment on the top left of the panel.

I then adhered this panel onto a Night of Navy or Rococo Rose matte. This was then adhered to a Seaside Spray card front.

Lastly, I attached the die cuts (flamingo & tall vine) using dimensionals. Note that I added a black rhinestone jewel as an eye on the flamingo. The other basic white panel was added to the inside of the card. Here is a closer look at each of the cards.

Once I took these pictures, I decided to add the black rhinestone jewel for an eye. In the future, I might also stamp-off the flamingo once to lighten it up. What do you think?

HAPPY STAMPING!

Hee Haw & Hee Haw Too

These donkeys are so adorable, they do not need any embellishments at all. You can easily make a card with one or several. Change the sentiment to suit your needs and leave off the ribbon and gems to turn it into a masculine card. What do you think?

Hee Haw

Stamps:

   Darling Donkeys

Paper:

   Basic Gray A-2

   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

   Whisper White

Technique:

   Watercolor - Blender Pen

Accessories:

   From My Heart Faceted Gems

   Real Red Ribbon

   Blender Pen

   Stampin' Seal+

   Adhesive

First, I stamped my donkey(s) on my basic white panel.

I then colored them using my watercolor pencils. 

I blended and brighten the colors using my blender pen. 

I then stamped my sentiment and the background sparkles.

I added some Real Red ribbon. I do like to see the difference on the card just by placing the ribbon differently. Which one do you like better?

Lastly, I added a couple of gems and adhered the other basic white panel to the inside of the card.

Hee Haw Too

Crushed Tangelo

Even though these colors have been discontinued, I will continue to use them until my supply is depleted. Who knows, you may have them in your stash as well. This color combination is quite striking. Don't you think? What color combination would you use for this design? 

Stamps:

   Blossoms in Bloom

Paper:

   Purely Pomegranate A-2

   Tangelo Twist 5-1/2 x 4-1/2

   Crushed Curry 5-1/2 x 4-1/2

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4, 1/2 x 3

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Die Cutting

   Crimping

   Punching

Accessories:

   Many Layered Blossoms Dies

   Crimper

   Banner Punch

   Bright's Enamel Shapes

   Fine Tip Glue Pen

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

The only stamping on this card was on the sentiment. It can be left off, and you will have an All-Occasions card.

Note, you will want to stamp your sentiment first, and then run it through your crimper. If you do not have one, you can improvise and use your scoring tool. Or you can leave it alone and just attach it using dimensionals.

I used a fine tip glue pen to adhere the Tangelo Twist die cut onto the Crushed Curry die cut. This was then adhered to the card base.

Lastly, I added a few enamel shapes. You can use whatever embellishments you have on hand. I adhered the basic white panel to the inside of the card.

Happy Birthday Poppy

This is another example where the art work on the paper is so beautiful, you do not want to cover it up with anything. I did add a strip of ribbon and a sentiment. You can easily leave off the sentiment and use it as an all-occasions card. What would you do? Any thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Art Gallery

Paper:

   Poppy Parade A-2

   Fine Art Floral DSP 5-1/4 x 4

   Bumblebee 3/4 x 3

   Basic White 1/2 x 2-3/4, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Merry Merlot

Technique:

   Die Cutting

Accessories:

   Floral Gallery Dies

   Fine Art Ribbon - 6"

   Gold Brads

   Dimensionals

   Glue Dots

   Stampin' Seal+

   Adhesive

I took my panel and adhered my ribbon to the bottom portion. 

I then adhered the panel to my card base. You can change the card base to any color found on the Fine Art Floral panel, including white.

I then stamped my sentiment on basic white and die cut it.

I adhered it to a piece of Bumblebee cardstock, added a couple of brads, and used dimensionals to attach it to the card base.

Here is the same card, but with the sentiment separate from the ribbon. Which do you prefer?

Happy Birthday Poppy Too
