Biggest Wish Bold Birthday Card Tutorial

Today I’ve got a quick and easy card for you that has a bold feel using the Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052)

I just love the big bold sentiments in this set combined with a lovely font on the compagnion sentiment, don’t you?

So today’s card is done in shades of blue and the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467) is perfect for this type look since the paper uses shades of Misty Moonlight, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White. I’ve teamed it up with our Night of Navy 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (160581) and fun Ombre Matte Decorative Dots (161448).

Want to see how I created this card? Here is a quick tutorial and PDF for you showing you how.

Team Time Fun

Each month I gather with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers and we share what we have been doing over the past weeks. Among other things we also swap cards and stamp together. It’s a lot of fun having a community of crafters that gather like this. Today’s cards are part of the swaps that were shared.

This first card uses the Marvelous Nature stamp set (161252) and our Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 161139). The monochromatic card has been stamped using our

returning color Pretty Peacock and the wings have been partially cut so they have a bit of lift to them. The background has a bit of texture added to it by dry embossing with the Timeworn 3D Embossing Folder. A bit of shimmer was added with the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130). I love the way that these gems pick up the color your using them with.

This next is a book fold that has been created with the Zoo Crew Suite Collection (161319 )

The fun fold and little images have been cut from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (161304). And the sentiments have been stamped using the Zany Zoo stamp set (161305) using Memento Tuxedo Black and a little pop of color has been added with our Classic Matte Dots (158146).

Little Monkey

Oh what fun is the zoo! And these little monkeys are too cute.

Little Monkey Bundle (161379) is filled with adorable images and fun sayings AND has a coordinating Little Monkey Builder Punch (161378) who wouldn’t love that?

Check out these fun cards using the Bundle. This first card uses the punch for a bold look.

A bit of texture was added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and our quick and easy Stampin’ Blends were used to color the vegetation. Or how about this fun little card to say HI to someone?

It also has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and a to of “sky” has been added behind using the Blending Brushes (153611) and some Classic Ink.

Monkeys for us have become a family favorite when visiting the zoo. On a trip to Honolulu’s Zoo last year we ran across a Gibbon monkey, this little guy was very vocal. Check out this quick little video I took. Click HERE or on my photo below.

It was so funny we were mesmerized and spent quite a while watching him sing and sing. This little guy marks his territory by a whooping, piercing “song,” and he went on for a while, you could hear him across the zoo too. LOL. We’ve never seen anything like it. (You can learn more about him HERE on the zoo’s website). By the way this zoo was a wonderful, if you have a few hours why not check it out?

So what do you think? Do you find this set as adorable as I do? Why not check it out in my Online Store?

Crafting, it’s been a big part of my life since childhood. From learning cross stich samplers as a child with my mother, Brownie activities, Summer Camp, and school Home Ec classes in middle school, art classes and now stamping. I’ve always loved to learn and create. How about you?

So when I saw the Crafting with You Bundle (161226) I could see the possibilities of creating projects and cards for my friends who also love being creative. Check out these lovely cards made with the set.

This first card uses color blocking in our new colors, Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist, and Lemon Lolly to create a bright cheerful card using the embroidery hoop. Don’t you love the little metallic shine on the scissors that has been done with our Clear Wink of Stella (141897)? Or how about this second card for us Paper Crafters?

A section of our Grid Paper (130148) has been used as a backdrop for the card. Fun right? Love crafting?

Another Fun Birds Eye View Card

Today’s card is a friendship card created with the Bird’s Eye View stamp set (161436) and it’s done in our new In Color Copper Clay.

I’m not sure why but this little bird with the glasses makes me think of school and the little caterpillar book I used to read to my children. Check out this lovely card

The card uses our fun Stampin’ Blends to color the image that has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black (132708/133456). The fun little piece of Copper Clay 3/8″ Textured Ribbon (161629) lays on top of the 2023-2025 In Color Collection Designer Series Paper (161646). And the fun little Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387) add a bit of shine.

More Zany Zoo

My daughter just sent me a photo of her at the zoo, in front of a favorite spot in any zoo or wildlife area – the alligators of course. She grew up with the crockodile hunter, Steve Irwin and has always been fascinated with these reptiles. So today I share with you projects made with the cute little stamp set, Zany Zoo (161305). This stamp set is part of a Suite of Products that allows you easy coordination when making your projects.

This first card uses the little crock to create a fun cheerful card.

The block of Designer Series Paper is from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (161304) which has these great black & white patterns on one side. The bold Black & White Gingham Ribbon (156485) creates a fun border for this whimsical guy.

And this next card uses another of the black & white patterns – however this time it has been modified a bit with our Blending Brushes (153611) and a bit of Bubble Bath Classic Ink (161664/161670).

This card was inspired by the card you’ll see on page 46 of the Annual Catalog. The color pallet has been changed to a fun bold one and uses our Stampin’ Blends to color the little ballerina.

I think these whimsical little images are so much fun and I love the way the Designer Series Paper makes a great addition with all of the different things we love.
