Birthday Celebrations

It’s that time of year and my eyes always turn to birthday cards since I need to create them for family and friends. With 2 birthdays always on January 1st it’s one of the first things I need every year. If you are like me and love to create birthday cards for your loved ones why not take a look at the Wildflower Birthday Suite (164604) from the Mini Catalog?

This Suite if filled with some wonderful products to get you started this year. Check out this card made with products from the Suite.

The sentiment has been heaty embossed in our gold embossing powder from the Metallic Wow! Embossing Powders set of 3 metallics (165678). The sentiment has then been punched out using the Labeled with Love Punch (163569). A bit of our Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163783) has been folded and added to one side and with a bit of fussy cutting you’ve got a lovely little coordinating flower on the tag. One of the Party Dots (164602) has been added to add a bit more interest and texture to the flower.

As for the background the sentiment sits on simple strips of the beautiful Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper (164591) have been adhered to a piece of Pretty in Pink Card stock. The layered panel has been run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss using the FREE Starstruck Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration 164972) to add a bit of interest and texture to the panel. Voila! a lovely little card that has a very feminine feel.

Change up the colors and you create a more masculine card, that is the great part of stamping. Same products totally different look and feel!

Bright Borders

Today’s cards both use the Bright Borders stamp set (164753) that you can find on page 58 of the January – April Mini Catalog.

This stamp set is an all occasions set that includes some wonderful sentiments and images. It also coordinates with the NEW To the Point Label Punch (164568) making it a great choice for beginning stampers or quick project making. I loved sets like this when I first started stamping since it took the stress of lining up an image perfectly on my stamped panel. With a punch it’s easy, stamp on a scrap piece, line up the image inside the punch and cut! Who doesn’t love that?

This first card is done in our Soft Sea Foam and Petal Pink giving it a softer feel perfect for spring.

The Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder (164695) gives some interest to the background and the lovely Petal Pink 3/8″ Scalloped Ribbon (164680) adds more texture with it’s fine details and scalloped edge. For a little bolder look how about this next card done in Flirty Flamingo and Pecan Pie?

Simple stamping was used to create the card front and a panel from our Brights Designer Series Paper Assortment (163775). A bit of white from our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) steps it up and adds a bit of shine to the sentiment panel. The white ribbon from the Petal Pink & White 1/4″ Diagonal Trim Combo Pack (163417) and the Party Dots (164602) add some texture.

So what do you think? This is a great set to use with all kinds of products that you may already have on hand.
