Winter Wonderland Birthday card

This is a birthday card for my Dad.

I created a winter wonderland with diecut trees, a snowbank and a large greeting.  I spattered it with Maya Mist Iridescent Pearl spray.

I chose the half sheet size using 1 sheet of light blue card stock to simulate the sky.  It accomodated the large greeting better as well.

The trees were cut from a couple of pieces of green card stock.  I put the lighter one in front.  I stacked them against each other.

The large greeting was cut with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday die and the same color as the darker trees.  The snow bank was cut with the Creative Memories Decorative Trimmer from heavy card stock.  All pieces were adhered with quick dry adhesive by Scotch.  

I spattered it with iridescent liquid as the spray no longer works.  I put a couple of drops on a plate and used an old toothbrush and an old knife to create snow on this landscape.

Happy Happy Birthday

I made a card for my sister who is celebrating a birthday this week.

I used a half sheet of card stock (5.5 x 8.5") in warm green. This panel is the card back.
I selected some scrap designer paper strips from my stash in greens.  I cut them .75 inches wide and left them as long as they were.  I started gluing them onto the card stock at right angles. This was an excellent stash busting card.  I sponged this layer just unify the colors of the strips and card base panel.

I added the warm green small tent card which measures 3.5 inches wide and 11" tall folded in half to 5.5 inches.  I then cut "happy" twice - once in gold and another in bright green with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thin lit. I cut birthday twice once the same green as the tent and another the same green as "happy".  These were chalked the same as the panel. These were glued to the front of the tent with Quick Dry Adhesive.  I layered the birthday word. I punched a Stampin Up Modern label punchie from the bright green and adhered it below the words. I then added a bow of grosgrain ribbon held in place with a gold flower sequin and a tiny gold brad.   As you can see the tent allows it to stand nicely.

I should make up a few of the panels so when I need a quick card I could just add the tent and embellishments to finish!

Warm Birthday Card

I made a quick card for my brother in law who celebrates a birthday this week.

I chose a warm ginger colored card base. 

I added some polka dot designer paper top and bottom aligned to card edges.

I cut greeting with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thin lit.  I cut 2 happys and 1 birthday.  The light ginger ones were mounted over the designer paper and the dark brown one was adhered in the center of the card.    I used Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive to adhered these as the bottle has a fine tip which makes applied the glue where I want it easy.  In the mail this afternoon with warm wishes.

HB Stripes & Glitter

I am cleaning up my desk and found this half finished card.

The card base in royal blue.  I ripped a piece of striped designer paper to about 2/3 then I finished the 4.25x5.5 inch piece with blue non shed glitter paper. This layer was adhered to the card front.  I cut the greeting with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thin lit.  The happy in the same blue glitter paper and the other in green designer paper. These were adhered onto the striped paper.  I added 5 gold star sequins below on the glitter paper, held in place with Bling Zots.

Birthday - Belated

I made this card for my niece who celebrated her birthday in September. I am way behind but I had a nice low key weekend and have found renewed energy. 

I chose a deep warm green card.  I added a layer of this versatile designer paper leaving a small border.

I cut the greeting from heavy white card stock with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thinlit.  I colored it with gold paint.  When it was dry I adhered it to the card front toward the bottom edge. 

I made holes above the greeting and inserted red seaming binding in a innie outie bow.  I added 2 gold star brads in the holes beside the ribbon. 

HB Metallic

I made this card for a friend who is turning 93 today.

I cut the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday from gold and silver foil card stock with 2 passes.  This allowed me to change the spacing of the words.  I adhered them to the navy blue card with quick dry adhesive.
I placed an embossed border at the bottom of the card in light blue done with the Anna Griffin Acanthus set.

Quick and bright card.

HB - Stripes

I started with the designer paper features thin stripes in grey and terracotta.  I used a dark grey card stock to punch borders with the Martha Stewart Arches Lattice border punch.  I adhered these to the top and bottom edges of the designer paper.  This layer was adhered to the card front.
I cut the greeting twice with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thin die.  Once, with the back side terra cotta of the designer paper then another with dark grey card stock.  I layered these having the grey create a shadow and adhered them with Quick Dry Adhesive.
I glued the greeting on the designer paper. I added a strip of terracotta designer paper below the greeting and adhered it to the card front with 5 tiny brads.

Decorative Paper - Set 2

I delivered cards to the gallery today.
This card features the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday greeting cut from silver foil card stock.  I chose a blue card which worked well this decorative paper made with ink applied to photo paper with a foam brush. It was glued to the card front leaving a small border. I adhered the greeting on the bottom third of the card with Quick Dry Adhesive by Scotch.  I punched 2 holes with the Stampin Up slot punch and pulled a piece of silver metallic ribbon through and knotted it.

On this wedding card I used some paper made with the Bubble Technique.  It was trimmed to leave a small border of the card showing.
It was in the purple lavender color range so I found a purple card that would work well with the paper.
I printed the clip art wedding couple from EDigg Clipart in black on vellum then clear embossed the image and greeting.  I trimmed the vellum to be smaller than the bubble paper.
I tacked the bubble paper to the card front then placed the vellum in place and held all in place with 4 tiny white brads in each corner.  I used a push pin to create holes for the brad prongs then spread them apart on the inside of the card.

This card features decorative paper made by brushing acrylic paint onto white card stock.  It creates a nice matte finish.
I punched the one edge of the purple and the white card stock strips twith the Martha Stewart Arch Lattice border punch.  I adhered the white one on to the right edge of the purple one.  I placed turquoise grosgrain ribbon on the right and white on the left.  This layer was adhered to a turquoise card.
I stamped the Stampin Up Triple Treat Flower stamp onto white with Tempting Turquoise. I punched the Five Petal Flower punch from the same decorative paper.  These were layered and I added a TT button in the centre held in place with a Zot.
I created a bit of dimension with some white cotton thread which was adhered to the accent.  The accent was then adhered to the card front with 3D foam tape.
Great card for any occasion.

Harry Potter ish HB Card

I created another card with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday die.  I cut the green plaid glitter paper with the greeting die.  I found a piece of navy small patterned DSP.  I ripped the bottom edge of the DSP and placed a strip of the green glitter paper behind the DSP to fill the layer back to 3.75x5 inches.  This layer was adhered to the warm blue green card.  I then adhered the greeting with Scotch Quick Dry adhesive.

This card reminds me of Harry Potter.

Jumbled HB - Teal and Silver

I am working on options for card layouts done with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thin die.  I have used flowers, a punch and now I added ribbon. 
The designer card stock layer in a damask pattern has been punched with the Stampin Up Slot punch from both the left and right hand sides.  This creates a half inch slot into which I can pull a length of ribbon. 
I die cut some foil card stock from a chocolate box with the greeting die.  I adhered the dies to the bottom of the background layer. 
I pulled some half inch silver metallic and narrower teal organza ribbon through the slots and knotted them both together.  Trimmed the ends with scissors.  The layer was adhered to the teal card. 

Night of Navy Background - HB Card

Add caption

I used a background I created when working on this card. 
I smooshed Stampin Up Night of Navy ink onto a piece of photo paper with a wet sponge.  Once dry, I cut the paper down to 4 x 5.25 inches.  I adhered it to the Night of Navy card front.  I cut the greeting with the Memory Box Jumbled Happy Birthday thin die.  I chose Tangerine Tango for Happy and Certainly Celery for Birthday.  I adhered those to the card front with tape runner adhesive so I could easily rub off the excess.  I then above the greeting I added some handmade paper flowers in an aqua color topped with small flower sequins and held in place with tiny white brads.
