Party Piñata

Posted on January 25, 2025 9:41 PM by Julie Comment

This card is all about the party. Sparkly balloons and greeting paired with a colorful piñata and falling confetti give it a really festive look. A very glittery frame surrounds the piñata to set it apart from the background. Only a few die sets were used to create this colorful card.

A big congrats to Mac, the newest Featured Stamper FS938! She has a super fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the sparkly balloons above the cute animal, but I used different dies, colors & changed the layout a bit by adding some glittery framing around the piñata.

For my version, I die cut all the piñata parts out of bright colors, added just a touch of color to the edges, then put them all together. The balloons were die cut out of several colors of glitter card stock & the greeting & backing square frame were cut out of gold glitter wrapping paper glued to card stock. I stacked the square frames, added the piñata, balloons & a bunch of floating confetti. The balloons, piñata & greeting die were all popped up just a bit.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

This card is all about the party! So much fun, color and celebration packed into a card. The new Party Raccoon set is a ton of fun and works well for girls, guys and even the kiddos. It comes with a trio of party raccoons as well as cake, balloons, hanging stars, a present..pretty much everything you need for birthday party. (This new set is a sneak preview & will be released next week)
For the Inspiration Challenge we are visiting Weston Table & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration.

My card features one of the raccoons, balloons & a 3 tier cake. After coloring & die cutting the images, I die cut the white frame & a larger coral frame using some rectangle & square dies. The large white background was die cut w/ an Offset Diamond Cover & attached to a larger coral background. The greeting was also die cut & added to the frame. To make it more festive, I added dots of liquid glue then sprinkled on some iridescent chunky glitter. I love how it looks like it’s raining confetti.

The raccoon & cake were popped up a bit as was the top frame. Here are the Copics I used (the hard to read one on the left is a W4):

Cat Watching

X2! It’s my turn to host the

Splitcoast Featured Stamper Challenge (FS654), so a big congrats to Donna! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the animal theme & most of the layout, but I used different images & dies & left off the designer paper.

I love this new Rubbernecker image of the dog lineup (it’s actually a 2 part stamp, this one is rear view & the other is the front view). I thought this rear view would work great w/ a fence & then the cats in the tree on the other side. All of the cats & dogs were colored, the cats, fence, & grass were die cut & the dogs were fussy cut around the top. There’s a matching die in the works but it isn’t out yet. I used a new cloud stencil & tumbled glass ink to sponge in the sky bg.

Here are the Copics I used.
