Birthday card in pink and purple

Happiest of Days for a quick card

The Happiest of Days stamp set is a great set for making quick, simple, stylish cards in a hurry. I used it today for a birthday card and have added a sneak peek of new dsp which will be available from January.

Sweet and simple birthday card

I stamped the image of presents in Archival Basic Gray ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the 2¼” Circle Punch, this was new in the annual catalogue this summer. I coloured in the image using Rich Razzleberry and Pink Pirouette Marker pens and added the sentiment from the Confetti Celebration stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink.

I punched a circle from Pink Pirouette cardstock using the 2½” punch and added it to the back of the Whisper White circle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Banner Triple Punch I flagged the end of a 5½” by 2” piece of dsp from the upcoming Petal Passion 12” by 12” dsp pack and added it to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I added the looped Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon onto the piece of dsp, holding it in place with Fast Fuse Adhesive. The topper piece was then added over the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. After the photos were taken I added a Black Rhinestone to the centre of each of the bows on top of the presents.

A very simple, understated card, Hope you like it.

Frozen Treats by Stampin' Up! bowl of Neopolitan ice-cream

Frozen Treats makes a bowl of Neapolitan ice-cream

Some friends and I were chatting over the weekend about things we remembered from our childhood and Neapolitan ice-cream came up – do you remember it? Luscious stripes of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice-cream, lovely. It was obviously still on my mind when I was playing with the Frozen Treats framelit dies today as this is what I came up with.

I started by die cutting a stitched edged square from Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shaped framelits. I then die cut the larger ice-cream scoop from So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Chocolate Chip cardstock and layered them onto the die cut Whisper White square using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I die cut the sundae dish from Pacific Point cardstock and added it to the Whisper White cardstock with Stampin’ Dimensionals giving the impression that the scoops of ice-cream were sitting in the bowl. I couldn’t resist die cutting the adorable spoon from a scrap of Silver Foil and the cherry from Real Red cardstock with a Chocolate Chip cardstock stalk.

I added the Whisper White square to a slightly layered square of Chocolate Chip cardstock before adding the whole piece to So Saffron scalloped square die cut using the Layering Squares framelits. I took a 1” strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and punched the ends using the Banner Triple punch and added this to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added the topper panel over the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment came from the happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink. I used the co-ordinating Cool Treats stamp set to decorate the inside of the card and the front of the Whisper White envelope. Love this fun, colourful card. Hope you like it.
