I’m still playing with the Confetti Celebration stamp set and have CASE’d another card inspired by a card made by a German demo called Christina, check out her website at https://finepaperarts.wordpress.com/2016/05/11/mein-erstes-werk-mit-den-neuen-farben
I love the large ‘hoorah’ stamp from this set and like Christina I chose one of the new 2014 – 2016 in-colors for my card base, in my case Dapper Denim and in hers Sweet Sugarplum. I stamped the ‘hooray’ on a piece of Whisper White cardstock in Emerald Envy, Crushed Curry, Dapper Denim, Rich Razzleberry, Real Red, Night of Navy, Watermelon Wonder and Smoky Slate inks.
I added a piece of dsp from the retired Cherry on Top stack to the bottom, cutting it at a slant and topped it with a small strip of Dapper Denim cardstock to cover the join. Adding this piece to a layer of Dapper Denim cardstock pulls the whole topper together. I then stamped the ‘hooray’ again in Dapper Denim ink and punched it out using the 2” circle punch and backed it onto a piece of Dapper Denim which I die cut using a circle from the Layering Circle Framelits and adding to the card front using dimensionals.
This makes a really cute, quick and easy card.
Having made this card using a lot of ink colours I thought I would strip it back and make a card using just one inkpad and a couple of pieces of cardstock.
I chose Night of Navy ink and stamped the ‘Yay’ sentiment on Whisper White cardstock punching it out using the Medium Star punch. If you don’t have the punch this is a really easy image to fussy cut……got to love a straight edge. Using the little star from the Confetti Celebration stamp set I stamped stars diagonally from the right bottom corner to the left top corner and added a scattering of punched Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer cardstock circles from my stash using Tombow. I had punched a pile of these for another project using the ½” and ¼” Handheld Punches; they were perfect for this card. The punched star was added using a dimensional.
Whilst looking for a big enough piece of Night of Navy cardstock on which to mat the stamped piece I came across the slightly shorter, wider piece I ended up using. I really liked the quirky look it gave to the card. I had planned to use a Thick Whisper White card base but I just didn’t like the way it looked and went with Crumb Cake cardstock instead. A really lovely masculine card and again quick and easy to make, great for a beginner.
