Thrifty Thursday 1-8-09

This is the Birthday card that I made for our Stampin’ Up! Birthday Celebration.  I decided to use it for Thrifty Thursday because it is so easy to make and the style allows you to use all the paper in the DSP pack. 

celbrate-b-day-cardI have used the Rainbow Sherbet #112471.  Not only does this paper sound yummy, but it is just so cute.  This card is very versital and can be used for either a boy or a girl.

The basic card is made with Apricot Appeal.  Then I used Gable Green behind the DSP.  I used Tempting Turquoise for the scallop and the 1/4″ ribbon then top off the ribbon with Apricot Appeal 1 /4″ grosgrain ribbon.

My Scallop is actually a special embosslit die that said 20 years.  It is to celebrate Stampin’ Up! 20 years in business this year.  However you could use the scallop circle punch. I covered it with a tag from the deer friends hostess set and punched it out with our 1 3/8 circle punch to create a beautiful layered look.  I didn’t want the tag to be stamped in just one color so I use our Stampin’ Markers to color directly onto the Stamp.

I finished the card by stamping happy birthday for the Bitty Birthday set #110994 for $12.95.  Because the tag just says a little something you could leave off the Birthday stamp or stamp it with a variety of other stamps for almost any occasion. 

So between the versatile saying and being able to use all the designer series paper on just one card lay out I think this card is very thrifty

Wacky Wednesday 1-7-09

Well I’m in Florida today enjoying the warm weather, so I thought I would share with you a nice summer project.  This project is really so easy.  I just bought a frame (I think I got this one at wall-mart.)  Then I added our great rub-ons.  I love how perfectly the words went with the pictures.  I used the Perfect Day rub-ons #111277 for $10.95.  To create my frame.

Technique Tuesday 1-6-09

best-wishes-sponge-daubersSponge Daubers

This technique is fairly simple but I love it.  It works best with a bold image like this one: Upsy Daisy set #1111710 for $18.95.  This was another card from Brandi’s Card night at her meeting.  Once again I don’t know the Creator but I love the card.  I created a similar one for club.  You can check it out by clicking here.

First you want to choose to complimentary colors to create your image.  Here we have chosen Baja Brezze and Pacific Point.

Next you want to stamp your whole stamp in the lighter color.  Here it would be Baja Brezze. 

Then ink up your sponge dauber with the darker ink, Pacific Point in our example.  Use the sponge dauber to ink just the tops of the flowers.  Just touch it lightly to th tops.  This give the flowers color and dimension. 

Last stamp your image onto your paper.  One of the fun parts of this technique is that every card is truly different.  If your stamp colors are close like these two there is usually no need to clean your stamp in between if you are stamping multiple cards.

This card is finished by applying Kiwi Kiss ink to the edges of the top note paper and adding the Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla Satin ribbon along with the Maine Blueberry DSP.

So go ahead a try out this fabulous technique today.
