Wishing You

Need a quick and stylish birthday card? How about an all around birthday card..good for guys or gals, young and old. It’s also easy to customize by changing the colors and band of designer paper in the middle. You can make several with different colors and shaped balloons and have them on hand when needed.

A big Congrats to Nicole, the newest Featured Stamper FS942! She has a terrific gallery & there are several I would love to case. After much browsing, I chose THIS card. I kept the Birthday theme, balloons & split front panel, but I used different colors & dies & moved the stamped part of the greeting to the top section.

I started by first die cutting the top white panel w/ a stitched rectangle die. Then I picked where I wanted to divide it & did so using a classic edger die. A narrow piece of the maroon paper was added under the cut edges before I attached the balloon paper in between the top & bottom panel. Since the panel as a whole, was now taller than it should be, I put the front panel back into the stitched rectangle die, matching up the bottom & sides, then ran it thru to cut the top part of it to normal size. This panel is attached to a slightly larger navy blue piece before I attached it to the A2 card. The Wishing You is part of greeting & the rest was masked off before I stamped it, by covering the unneeded part w/ a piece of scotch tape. The die cut Happy Birthday was cut one out of white, once out of maroon & cardboard to pop it up. The white top was attached slightly shifted to the left to let the maroon show. After it was added, I die cut 3 balloons & added them.

Party Piñata

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.

Today I have another birthday themed card. This time it features a trio of celebrating little kitties. Instead of die cutting them, I put them inside a frame and just trimmed the little outsides of the balloons to go on top of the frame. There are a lot of cute images to chose from in this set. Perfect for a cat lover as well as for kids’ birthdays.

It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS937, so a big congrats to Sue! She has such a fun gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I made a lot of changes..mine is horizontal, hers is vertical. I used different paper, images & dies. I really liked her layout but I couldn’t make it work due to the size of the image & frames.

After coloring the image, I elected not to die cut it but rather but a frame around it. Actually a double inside/outside scallop frame. It’s popped up a bit on top of the cats & the cat panel is elevated a bit from the plaid heart paper. I cut just around the outside edge of each balloon to lift it above the frame. A pretty easy card to make!

Here are the Copics I used:
