Birthday Up in the Clouds


Hi Stampers,

Okay, I promise this is my last Birthday card of the day. I can't help myself, I love to make Birthday Cards and the smiles on the recipient's face is priceless. This card was inspired by Andrea Walford. I changed the colors used and the stamp sets used. I made the clouds by using a cloud template provided for free by a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator, Lianne Carper, you can obtain the template here. I used an inexpensive transparency sheet purchased from my local office supply store, traced the clouds using a permanent marker, cut out the cloud shapes with my paper snips, adhered the clouds to my Whisper White cardstock using temporary adhesive and sponged the Tempting Turquoise ink over the transparency cloud shapes.

For the balloons, I stamped the balloon image from the stamp set Crazy for Cupcakes in Basic Black Ink and then covered the balloon image leaving only the balloon string. I stamped the balloon image from the stamp set Party This Way in Versamark Ink on Tempting Turquoise, Real Red and Delightful Daffodil cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I then used my paper snips to cut out the images and used double stacked Dimensionals to "pop" the balloons off the card. I used the birthday sentiment from the same stamp set.

If you like the card shown here and would like to Host a Workshop where you and your guests can make this card, please contact me here. Please feel free to post a comment or your questions. Thanks for stopping by, have a Stampin' Good Day!

My First Post

Hi Stampers. Today I am "officially" a Blogger. I am so excited to be a Blogger now. I will use my blog to showcase my card and scrapbooking masterpieces. Today I am sharing with you the Birthday Card that I made for my Best Friend in the entire world (drumroll please...) Patricia T. Her Birthday was Feb. 11th and I still have not given her the card yet! We were supposed to get together this weekend for lunch, but hey, when you've got kids, life sometimes gets in the way. I know she will love it when I finally give it to her. (at least I hope so).
The card measures 4.25" X 5.5". I used Georgia Peach Designer Series Paper (DSP), its from Stampin' Up! and is now retired (sad face) and also from Stampin' Up! Whisper White, Old Olive and Pretty in Pink cardstock. Also used is the Scallop Circle Punch and the 1-3/8" and 1-1/4" Circle Punch also from Stampin' Up! The birthday sentiment is from the Upsy Daisy stamp set, the cute cupcake is from the Crazy for Cupcakes stamp set and the "happy birthday" sentiment surrounding the cupcake is from the Think Happy Thoughts stamp set. All of these items are from Stampin' Up! and can be purchased online 24/7 from my Stampin' Up! website, just click the link on the right and shop all night.
Thanks for stopping by. That's all for now. Love, peace and stamps.
