Sea Themed Card For A Special Birthday

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing fancy fold cards. My sea themed card was made for our niece’s special birthday and the theme reflects her love of the sea, swimming and diving.

 

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Sea themed card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 11” by 5½” – scored on the long-side at 1¾”, 3½”, 5¼” by 7”
Starry Sky card – 5” by 3½” – scored on the long-side at 2½”
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 1⅝” x 2
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 3⅞”
Rings of Love dsp – 5¼” by 1½” x 2
Rings of Love dsp – 5¼” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 3⅜” by 2⅜” x 3
Scrap Silver Foil & Basic White

 

Using my Bone Folder, I burnished the score-lines of both scored panels of card and set the smaller Starry Sky piece to one side.

I glued the panels of dsp to the long panels of Starry Sky card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The largest piece was then glued to the larger panel of the Thick Basic White card. I skipped a panel and added one of the long thin pieces to the next panel. The final panel was adhered to the outermost panel of the card front. With the smaller panels on your left, you should have a decorated panel on the first flap, third panel and fifth or back panel.

The large wave stamp was inked up with Mint Macaron ink and Starry Sky ink added randomly with a Sponge Dauber. The image was then stamped on each of the three panels of Basic White card

I die cut the numbers from the, sadly retired, Large Number Dies and added them to one of the stamped panels with liquid glue. I added a trio of birds in flight around the numbers. The sentiment, from the Go To Greetings stamp set, was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed down with scissors and added to the panel.

The swimsuits from the Sunny Splash stamp set, where stamped in Starry Sky or Polished Pink ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cut out. They were added to the second and third stamped panels. A trio of birds were stamped on each piece.

A First Frost Double Z Fold card using Stampin' Up! products

First Frost Double Z Fold Card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made for the special birthday of one of my oldest friends. I used the gorgeous First Frost stamp set and the co-ordinating Frosted Bouquet dies to make a pretty floral card.

Making the card

I started with 2 pieces of Thick Whisper White cardstock, one measuring 11” by 5½” and the other measuring 9¼” by 4¼”.  Using my paper trimmer I scored both pieces at 2 ¾” and 5 ½”. I cut 3 panels of Frosted Floral dsp, one at 5¼” by 5¼” and 2 at 5¼” by 2 ½” and glued these to the larger of the Thick Whisper White card base.

I rounded 2 double corners of the smaller Thick Whisper White panel with the Decorative Trio Punch. I then added panels of Grapefruit Grove cardstock – one measuring 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two measuring 3⅞” by 2½” having rounded the same corners.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock 3¾” by 3¼” and stamped the leaves and sprigs in, 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Old Olive and Grapefruit Grove ink

I cut two panels of Whisper White measuring 2¾” by 2⅜”. I stamped the same leaves and sprigs onto the panels using the Old Olive and Grapefruit Grove inks as before. The stamped panels were then  added to the Grapefruit Grove panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the numbers from the retired Number of Years stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink and die cut them using the Big Shot and the large Number Dies before adding them to the larger stamped panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The words from the same stamp set were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

I stamped the lovely roses onto Whisper White cardstock; 1 large and 1 small in Cherry Cobbler and a second small one in Grapefruit Grove. These were then die cut using the Frosted Bouquet dies and the Big Shot. I added the large Cherry Cobbler and small Grapefruit Grove roses to the front panel and the smaller Cherry Cobber rose to the last panel.

I love the colour combo of this card and hope Jo likes it.

Special Birthday card using Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin' Up!

Number of Years and Birthday Blooms for a Special Birthday

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Birthday Blooms stamp set, the Number of Years Stamp set and the Large Numbers dies. These are all retiring from the Annual Catalogue on the 31st of May and I will really miss them. I made this card for my Mum who is celebrating her special birthday in a couple of days.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11” by 5½” which I scored on the long side at 2¾” by 5½” using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I took a 2nd piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then folded and burnished all of the score lines.

I chose 2 patterns from the Tutti-Frutti dsp stack and cut 2 panels at 5⅜” by 2⅝” and one panel at 5⅝” by 5⅝”. I then adhered these to the larger Thick Whisper White panel leaving a tiny border round each panel.

I then cut panels in Lemon Lime Twist cardstock – one at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2⅝” and Whisper White panels – one at 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two at 3⅞” by 2⅜”.

On the larger Whisper White panel I stamped the large rose image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set in the lower left hand corner using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the smaller rose image in the bottom left or top right on the remaining Whisper White panels. I coloured the flowers in with the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends Pens.

I stamped the word ‘birthday’ using Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the on the panel with the small bloom in the lower left hand corner. I took some scrap Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and die cut each of the numbers 3 times using my Big Shot and glued them together to give added dimension. I then glued them to the largest stamped Whisper White panel. The word ‘happy’ and ‘th’ were then stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink either side of the die cut numbers. I rounded one corner of each of the Whisper White panels and the same corners on the Lemon Lime Twist panels using the new Detailed Trio Punch. These panels were then adhered together with Tombow liquid Adhesive and added to the small Thick Whisper White panel. I then glued the 2 main panels together.

To finish off I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board and the gorgeous Delightful Daisy dsp which will also retire on the 31st May.

I love the bright, sunny colours used on this card. I really hope my Mum likes it.
