Birthday Balloon launch

 I used the new 2017-2019 In colors with the Balloon Celebrations #140675 Stampin Up stamp set to create the balloon ascension.  I added the sentiment from the Hello You Thinlits #137363 and the Sunshine Sayings #141594

Happy Watercolor Wonder

 

 

Today’s multi-layered birthday card is simple and happy! I used the now retired Watercolor Wonder DSP from Stampin Up and punched a peek a boo hole using the 1 3/4 ” circle punch to reveal the Calypso Coral paper below. I cut the “happy” using the Hello You Thinlits Die#137363 from Stampin Up. The birthday sentiment is from the coordinating Crazy About You #137137 stamp set.  If you have been avoiding using the intricate thinlits like the Happy and other words from the Hello You set because they were too intricate to remove from the die; your life just got easier with the Stampin Up Precision Base Plate #139684 and the Big Shot Die Brush #140603. Both these tools  make working with detailed dies a dream.

 

 

Unique Birthday

I love the bright color combination that Cammie chose for today’s birthday post.  She used a retired Stampin Up folder to texture the background; although I think the new Confetti #140592 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder would be a perfect substitution. In the center of the card Cammie stamped the sunburst image from the Kinda Eclectic #135347 stamp set and then began building her gorgeous flower using pieces of the now retired mustache framelits die.  To finish, Cammie cut the happy sentiment from the Hello You Thinlits #137363.

 

Festive New Year

 

It’s been a rough start to the new year and it is just a few hours old! Today’s late post still wishes you a happy new year! I love this card I made to bring in the new year.  It just screams for a fancy celebration.  The masquerade mask is made using the now retired Stampin Up mustache framelit and the Chalk Talk Framelits #129983 for the eye holes. I used the new coming soon blushing bride and the dazzling diamonds Glimmer paper to cut the festive feathers using the now retired Four Feathers Framelits.  I added a bow using the Silver metallic thread #138402.  The happy is cut using the Hello You Thinlits die #137363. The new year sentiment is from retired Good Greetings stampset. I added some randon colored sequins from my stash add just enough bling for a festive new year.

Bike Birthday

 Happy birthday to my 84 year old Father In Law! I created this card with him in mind because back in the day he had a classic Schwinn bicycle so when I saw this print in the Stampin Up Schoolhouse #138187 DSP paper pack I knew that I would be using it for Bob’s birthday.  For the sentiment I paired the Stampin Up Hello You Thinlits #137363 with the Guy Greetings #137178 stampset.  I added gears punched from the now retired Gear punch to create a fun and masculine birthday card.

Petal Potpourri

Today’s post is a fun card that Cammie got inspiration from where else but a Stampin Up catalog.  The card layout and the ruffled edge using the now retired Stampin Up Petal Potpourri stampset and the coordinating Flower Medalilion punch #137417 was from the Stampin Up occasions catalog. For the dots on the lower portion of the card, Cammie used the Dots and Stripes decorative Mask#133775 and a dauber with monochromatic ink. Cammie changed  the color combination and added the adorable bow using the Bow Builder #137414 punch and the sentiment was cut using the Hello You Thinlits words #137363.

Snuggles and Smooches Thanks

 Today’s post features the Stampin Up Snuggles and Smooches Photopolymer stamp set #140326 and the Hello You Thinlits.  The Snuggles and Smooches stampset is one of the photopolymer stamp sets that Stampin Up introduces every month that is not any Stampin Up publication, this set was introduced in Jan or February and is still available for purchase.

For the Flower, Cammie used both the large and small squiggles image stamped it in Melon Mambo ink, cut both images out and stacked them to make the flower.  For the leaves Cammie stamped the squiggles in garden green and then punched using the Sweetheart punch #133786.  The thanks sentiment is cut out using the Hello You Thinlits #137363 and it coordinates with the Crazy About You stamp set #137137 to finish the sentiment on the hand cut banner. The Thinlits and the Crazy About You stamp set are available in the Stampin Up Occasions catalog as a bundle and save 15% item when purchased together (wood#139324, clear #139325, photopolymer #138873).
