Time to Party

Hi Stampers,

I wanted to share a Birthday Card with you that I CASED from the upcoming 2010-2011 Stampin' Up! Catalog (which, by the way, will go live on July 1, 2010). This card features the birthday party hats stamp from the Party Hearty stamp set.

I used the party hat stamp to create the banner. I inked the stamp in various Stampin' Up! Classic inks then trimmed the hats to look like pennants. I then attached a strip of Chocolate Chip cardstock to hang my pennant.

I used various Stampin' Write markers to ink up only the portion of the sentiment that I needed and on the candles.

I added decorative touches on the card using the Scallop Square punch, Scallop Edge Border punch a 1" punch and some satin ribbon. Also on the card (you may not be able to see it in the picture) is my version of a "glitter mist" using a small spray bottle, rubbing alcohol and Shimmer Paint in Champagne Mist. I hope you like the card, comments and questions are always welcomed. Have a Stampin' good day!

Happy Sweet Birthday

I absolutely love, love, love this stamp. It is the Sweet Birthday stamp (115564) and it is one of many beautiful single stamps that Stampin' Up! is offering for Under $10. On page 208 of the

2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog (US) you will find that Stampin' Up! has several single stamps that are under $10 and they are all wonderful to use. I paired this stamp with the Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper (love, love, love it) and the In-Color Rich Razzelberry. I used Orchid Opulence Classic Ink on the cake image and Basic Black on the sentiment. If you would like to re-create this card Contact Me today and we can schedule a Workshop built around the Under $10 Stamps that Stampin' Up! offers. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy!
