Party Animal Birthday Blast

Time to get some birthday cards back into my stash.  So I decided to start with Birthday Blast and Party Animal Designer Series Paper.


Recipe:
Pacific Point - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White 5 1/4" x 4"
Party Animal Designer Series Paper 4" x 2"  and 3 1/2" x 3"
Largest Oval and Largest Scalloped Oval from Layering Ovals
Ink - Pacific Point

For this one, I only popped up the oval with Stampin' Dimensionals


But on this one, I decided to pop up the Whisper White layer as well as the ovals.



Thank you for looking in today.  Have a Happy Saturday!

So Very Much

How about a simple, yet beautiful Thank You card today?  These cards just took a couple of minutes to make and we can all use a stash of thank you cards.  This would also be great with the Stylized Birthday stamped in the middle.


Recipe:
Very Vanilla - 11" x 4 1/4", scored and folded at 5 1/2" (notice I changed it up today??)
Soft Suede -  5 1/4" x 4"
Very Vanilla 5 1/8" x 3 7/8"

Stamps - So Very Much (2017 Sale-a-Bration)
Sheltering Tree (Annual Catalog)


Begin with just the "leaves" portion from Sheltering Tree.  I used Blushing Bride, stamped off once and then stamped in the center of the Very Vanilla.

Then ink up the Thank You with Soft Suede and stamp over the Blushing Bride.  I also stamped "so very much" from the set.

I had a little bit of over stamping on this one, so when all else fails, cover with a ribbon!  :)


I also popped the top layer up with Stampin' Dimensionals because of the thicker ribbon.


Thank YOU for looking in today!  Two more days to the weekend!

So Detailed Thinlits

Have you ordered your So In Love Bundle yet with the So Detailed Thinlits Dies?  If not, what are you waiting for?  These dies make such beautiful cards and they are so easy too!



Recipe:

Rose Red - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 5 1/2" x 1 1/4" (for the sentiment)
Whisper White - 5 1/2" x 2 3/4" (for the die cut)  
Whisper White - 5 1/4" x 4" (for inside)

Stamps:  So In Love (Bundle with So Detailed Thinlits)
Stamps:  Thankful Thoughts


When you make the diecut, you will have about 1/4" under the flowers themselves.  Do NOT cut that off, you will need it to attach it to the 1 1/4" strip.  Simply use your favorite adhesive and attach them together.  Wrap ribbon around and tie it off with a knot or a bow.

Then to attach the whole thing to the card, the best way, for me, is to gently dab some multipurpose liquid glue around the edges of the flowers and here and there along some of the other cuts.  Let it sit for a few minutes so the glue isn't so wet and turns a little tacky.  This will keep the glue from oozing out around the edges and will stick beautifully to your card.


When stamping the flowers inside, lay your cardstock on a scrap piece of copy paper and stamp the center flower first, stamping it off the edge, just a bit.  Then ink and stamp again at the top and then the bottom.


Think how pretty this would be in other colors as well.  Rose Red just happens to be one of my favorite ones.
