Birthdays – Page 6 – Stampin' With Candice

Stampin’ Sunday 3-22-09

Our small group decided that we wanted to do a wow card swap in Hawaii. Of course I didn’t figure out my card until two-o-clock in the morning the night before I was leaving, but hey at least I figured it out. I actually finished making them on the plane ride from Maui to the Big Island.

Because it was a wow card I really wanted to use something fun. We have two new die that are available April 1st. They are pop up dies. The Cake Pop-up Die and the Ball Pop-Up Die. I pre-ordered the cake so I just had to try it out. It’s really fun beacuse it pops up out of the card when you open it. It is thick so you really need something to hold it closed. I decided to put a ribbon around it that slides off.

Here is the inside of the card. I should have decorated the cake a bit more. I think I’m going to add some pretty in pink 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon to the middle layer.

I will add a better picture with the ribbon around it.

Freewheeling Friday 3-13-09

This was a fun card that I made for swaps last year. This card used all the fun in-colors from last year. I believe they were Purely Pomegranate, Blue Bayou, Wild Wasabi, and Soft Sky. This is a fun masking technique. I also used watercolor for the presents. The tag was done using glossy white paper. I stamped in VersaMark® and then embossed it. Then I used the brayer to roll color over the top of it. The back ground was just using a simple roller. I love using rollers for backgrounds because they are fast and easy.

Wacky Wednesday 2-4-09

So I got a fun package from the UPS man today. It was my order with some of the fun new products. I got the new cutter bee circle cutter and some new stuff for the big shot. Of course I just had to try it out. My son actually gave me the perfect opportunity. His Birthday is in the middle of summer when life is usually crazy so I told him we could have a 1/2 Birthday party instead. We are planning for Friday night so I made him these cute cards to invite his friends. His favorite color is blue so of course I had to use the in-color Pacific point. Plus I had to try out my new toys.

I really loved putting the texture on the Bold cupcakes. The frosting has the swirl plate and the cake has the polk-a-dot. Then I used the directly to paper technique to get a little ink on them and really make them pop. I loved how it turned out. I really loved using the circle cutter. It was so fast and easy. I can’t wait to try it for more projects.

I did learn that I need to cut out the items with the big shot and then run the texture on them otherwise the pressure of cutting it just smooths it back out again. Anyway I had lots of fun and my son loved them so I hope you like it too.

What I used:
#114512 Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds 1 $11.95
#114509 Stampin’ Up! Big Bold Cupcakes $21.95
#112530 Circle Scissor Plus $29.95
#112531 Glass Mat $19.95
#111367 Chocolatee Chip 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon $4.95
#111532 Party Hearty $23.95

Colors- Pacific Point, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Remember if you love the big shot as much as I do you can always lay it a way and start making payments so you can have it for the future. Click here for more details.
