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!

For the Books

Are you a book lover? I know my kids both were and here is a wonderful choice for creating projects for those who love books. The For the Books Bundle (164843)

consists of a stamp set and dies that coordinate with it. Check out these cards made using this Bundle.

This first card uses the To Market Designer Series Paper (163421) and simple stamping to create a backdrop for the focal point, a die cut book.

and a bit of shimmer was added using the Antique Pearls (164679). And this next card is a fun fold

with a bookmark. A little pocket is created to hold the book mark on the front of the card. The book mark is simple but has a lot of texture since it uses the Starstruck Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration 164972) that you can get for FREE when you place a qualifying order in February. And the little pull is our Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163788) and Linen Thread (104199).

Wonder how the pocket was made? This card measures 11″ x 5 1/2″. It is scored at the 4 1/4″ and 8 1/2″ marks and then a diagonal cut is made at the 6″ mark on the top to 1 3/4 on the side. Fold it on the score line and adhere along the bottom.

And this last card has another fun little bookmark that is a removable corner.

This card uses another of our fun Sale-a-bration products, the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 164944). This paper has wonderful patterns that are bright and cheerful and perfect for your spring projects.
