Simple Daisy Birthday

Hey all! Another Birthday card! There is a new LARGE Happy Birthday stamp in the Mini Catalog - Simple Birthday! Love it! Remember the Thank You I did a while back? Similar stamp! My first thought was to use on DSP, but I gave it a whirl on just cardstock first! Here it is!

In my large stash of stuff, I found some colored embossing powder, one being Melon Mambo. So, I grabbed that and my Versamark pad and embossed the Happy Birthday on Basic White. I then grabbed Cheerful Daisies and using the smaller daisy in the set I stamped daisies around the embossed happy birthday. I alternated Daffodil Delight and Coastal Cabana. I added Melon Mambo centers, and some have an Enamel Dot (retired) in Melon Mambo. Be a little careful where the ink goes over the embossing - it may smear or transfer to where you don't want it! I tried to dab at it carefully with a paper towel to prevent that!

Thanks all for stopping by today! It is tax season and my to do list is quite long so posts may slow but I hope to pop in fairly regularly!! I do need to keep making birthday cards to keep up with my list :)

Inked & Tiled Birthday

Howdy all, Happy Friday! Still mixed up on days over here! Haven't been anywhere since last Saturday right before the storm rolled in. But the Christmas tree is finally down! Just a few more things to box and put away. We also fired all the snowmen :) We've had enough!!

Here are a couple birthday cards that I made quick yesterday. Had an idea in my head and it came out perfect! These could be done is so many colors! And likely with quite a few different stamp sets!

Aren't these fun? and pretty quick and easy as well! The stamps used are all from the retired Inked & Tiled set. Just grab 3 colors you like together and go! The top one is Highland Heather, Lemon Lime Twist and Lemon Lolly with a Highland Heather base. The accent flower, birthday saying and accent layer are Early Espresso. The bottom one is Peach Pie, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party with a Peach Pie base. Same Early Espresso accents. Small White ribbon bow for accent.

There will be more of these in my future! I just went through all my old ink pads and redid how I store them on my desk, so they are now accessible. And I sorted the cardstock too, so I know what I have to work with! Next time I go rummaging for stamps I'll be looking for more that work with this!!

I just took a flip through the current catalog, and Spotlight on Nature would work for this very well! You could do the "lines" with the small texture stamp, or use a clear block, shape stamp or Painter's tape. See this post for a painters tape card-it is what originally inspired this idea! I realized the line stamp in this set could replace the tape!

Thanks for stopping by! Hopefully back soon! Product details and store links below!

Petal Pink Floral Birthday

Hey all, Happy Thursday! Getting a little warmer here, finally! Melting some. Sun would help, but not in the cards today! I've been working on birthday cards to replenish my supply and get some in the mail for January!

I saw a card that inspired me the other day, and it was tone on tone. My initial thought was that contrast would work well too. So, I tried it with contrast first. I don't remember where I found the inspiration to give credit, but it was very much this layout with a DSP background over cardstock.

Gray Granite card base, Petal Pink DSP from the Country Lace pack on Petal Pink background. All stamps from the Translucent Floral set. Petal Pink flower stamped on a Basic White Deckled Rectangle with Soft Seafoam stem/leaves and Gray Granite Happy Birthday. The ribbon is from the White/Petal Pink Diagonal Trim combo pack from the current catalog. Retired Petal Pink sequins are the perfect final accent. Deckled Rectangle is a retired die set as well.

I like the card but then on a whim I tried tone and tone and wow, I like it more! See what you think!

I'm going to have to try this more often! Petal Pink has become a favorite for me! Same everything on this card except the card base is Petal Pink instead of Gray Granite. So pretty! If you have a stash of DSP like I do, keep this in mind!

Thanks for stopping by today! Product details and links below. All current except the sequins (and there is likely something current that would work!!) and the Deckled Rectangle die set.
