I really love this set, Picture Perfect Birthday, pg 5 of the OC.  It is so versatile.  As you can see from previous postings I have gotten a lot of use from this set.  I used the embossing folder, Simple Stripes Textured Impressions for the back ground and rolled LemonLime Twist Ink over the embossing folder before sending it through the Big Shot.  I also used the beautiful 1/4″ Ombre Lemon Lime Twist ribbon, pg 198 of the AC.  In addition, I used the Light Green Glimmer paper, pg 37, OC backing the Stitched Shapes circle, pg 214, AC. Colors used in the image were Basic Black, Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lime Twist.

On this card, I used 2 stamp sets, Waterfront, pg 48 of the OC and Colorful Season, pg 147 in the AC.  I used the Layering Oval framelits, pg 213, AC to highlight the Palm Trees in the Waterfront set.  I used Tranquil Tide ink, Crumb Cake and Marina Mist for the water.  The sentiment if from Colorful Seasons and the Beach chair is cut out with the matching Seasonal Layers, pg 216 AC.  Both of these sets work very well together.

One Stamp Set, Six Cards!
Note: The Stampin’ Up! products used in this post are identified in bold (with an item number) and are available through your demonstrator or by visiting our online store at www.stampinup.com. Be sure to select your country from the dropdown menu at the top of the screen for accurate pricing and availability.
Today I want to show you how to create six different cards out of one stamp set with a few additional supplies. The Perennial Birthday Stamp Set (item 146850) is excellent for that because it offers six different sentiments. Plus, it has filigree flowers. It’s THE perfect stamp set!
These cards are all about stamping; the flowers look amazing on the Whisper White Cardstock (item 106549)!
I made the square tag for the bottom card using the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (item 145372) and the Big Shot (item 143263). The Hexagons Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (item 143231) adds a wonderful 3D effect.
I used the following ink colors to stamp my cards: Smoky Slate (item 137179), Dapper Denim (item 141394), Pool Party (item 126982), Peekaboo Peach (item 141398), and Melon Mambo (item 126948). Then, I added a few dabs of color using Stampin’ Write Markers! (The Glitter & Clear Epoxy Shapes (item 145632) look like little dewdrops, don’t you think?)
At the bottom of the card, I colored the stamped image with markers (since markers allow you to use different colors). Don’t you love those little dewdrops?
I punched a hole in the bottom card using the 2″ Circle Punch (item 133782), then arranged the flowers around the circle. This is where the Iridescent Sequins (item 144212) go.
As you see, there are endless ways of arranging the flowers and sentiments! On the bottom card, I stamped the sentiment on an extra strip of Whisper White Cardstock and stamped the leaves under the strip. I then arranged the flowers around the sentiment.
I hope you’ve enjoyed these projects, and that I’ve inspired you to make your own cards with the Perennial Birthday Stamp Set!

I got the idea for this card from another Demostrator, Priscilla Ivler, from Stampin’ Connection.  Thank you Priscella for your inspiration.

I did change the card around a little.  I used the DSP Myths & Magic, pg 37 of the OC. The stamp set is Magical Day, same page. In addition, I fussy cut the soldier from the DSP.  I used the dies, same page, to cut out the Dragon and the Mermaid.   The sentiment is embossed in white on the DSP paper.  I used the Brick embossing folder, page 210 AC, for the background.  To color the images, I used Light and dark Blends. pg  30 OC, Pool Party on the Dragon and Night of Navy & Ivory on the mermaid.  I layered Rich Razzelberry CS in back of the brick.

This is one of my favorite techniques when designing cards with Flowers.  For this card I used the set Amazing You pg 16 of the SAB catalog.  I stamped the image in Tranquil Tide and then colored it with pool party.  I then used a blender pen to blend in the tranquil tide ink already on the flower.  I fussy cut just the top of the flower out and glued it  on top of the original image.  I added a Gold faceted Gem, pg 197 AC.  I used the Stitched Framelits to cut out the whisper white CS, page 214 AC and the regular Oval Framelits, same page, for the Crushed curry CS.  The DSP is Whole Lot of Lovely, pg 188 AC.  Celebrate is cut out with the Big Shot, pg 209 AC and the die used is from the SAB catalog, page 17.  The Stamp set you can get FREE with a $50 purchase and the Framelits you can get FREE for a $100 purchase in product from either the Annual Catalog or the Occasions catalog.

I love this set and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.  The stamps, Magical Day, page 37 of the OC and the matching Framelit Dies, Magical Mates, can be purchased as a bundle saving 10% for both.  I designed this card using the Myths & Magic DSP, same page, and colored the images with our new Blends, Pool Party and Bermuda Bay, pg 30.  In addition, I used Rich Razzleberry ink for the sentiment. This is another one of those stamp sets and matching dies that you will have so much fun using.  Hope you like it.

19. March 2018 · Comments Off on Brusho Butterfly · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , , , ,

I created this card using our new Brushos, pg 26, and the new stamp set, Beautiful Day, same page.  I used Watercolor paper, pg 194 and Frog Tape (non SU) to mask off the edges and create a border.  I then embossed the butterfly with our copper embossing powder, page 201 of the AC, and then added the Prussian Blue & Moss Green Brusho to the butterfly.  The In addition, I cut out the sentiment with the Thinlit Dies, Celebrate You, in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, pg17 using our Copper foil, page 194 of the AC.  Before adding the sentiment I spritzed the paper (with the mask still attached) with water and then sprinkled Yellow and Moss green Brusho to the background of the card. Please contact me if you need further instructions.

Erin Go Bragh! to all my Irish friends and family and those who wish they were Irish on this glorious day!  We will be enjoying our annual Corn Beef and Cabbage meal this evening with family.

I always feel that SU does not have enough St Pat’s stamps, but as long as they have the sentiment, Happy St. Patrick’s Day in the Teeny Tiny Wishes, page 36 of the AC, I am happy to improvise.  In this card I used the Party Pandas, page 15 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  The DSP is from the Whole Lot of Lovely, pg 188 AC.  Car Stock is Whisper White, both regular and thick.  The Shamrock is made from Tranquil Tide CS.

I have already used this set so much.  It is so awesome and so versatile.  You can find it on pg 32 of the OC.  It also has the matching framelits Dies (same page) and if you combine them both you can get a 10% discount on the bundle.  It contains 19 dies and is such a fun bundle,  I used Early Espresso, silver foil for the bottle caps and burlap ribbon.  The DSP is True Gentlemen, pg 45 of the OC. In addition, I used Tranquil Tide for the sentiment and stamping the stars.

12. March 2018 · Comments Off on Panda buddies! · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

I got the idea for this card from a demonstrator, Donna Wicks.  The Bamboo is cut from DSP, Color Theory Design paper stack, pg 187 AC.  The stamp set is from the Sale-A-Bration catalog, pg 15 Party Pandas.  I used Very Vanilla CS and the tall grass is from the set, Fabulous Flamingo, pg 177 in the AC.  I used Old Olive and Basic Black Archival Ink.  Thank you Donna for the inspiration.

10. March 2018 · Comments Off on Sympathy card · Categories: Cards · Tags: , , ,

It is always a good idea to keep a Sympathy card on hand in case you need it.  I thought that this set, Waterfront, pg 48 of the OC, was suitable to this type of card.  I used shimmery paper for the images and the DSP is Delightful Daisy pg 189 in the AC.  Colors used were Tranquil Tide, Smokey Slate and pool party.  The stamps give the images a watercolor look which is what I love about the set.

This set, Half Full #144999, is a set designed by a demonstrator who just hit her Million dollar in sales, Linda Bauwin.  Congratulations to Linda!   I love the set and soon as I saw it I knew I had to have it.  I used whisper white cs and colored the background with Soft Sky.  I used Rich Razzleberry for the wine and Crumb Cake for the rest.  The images were stamped with Memento Black because the stamping’ blends are alcohol based markers.  Also, I used Smoky Slate watered down for the shadowing.  Hope you like it.

This is turning out to be one of my favs.  The set, Magical Day, pg 37 in the OC, with matching framelits dies can be bought together as a bundle thereby saving 10% on the cost.  I used the Myths & Magic DSP on same page and I used Stampin’ Blends, page 31 OC, in Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette, Smoky Slate and Bermuda Bay.  I plan on using this set a lot since it has matching dies and there is no fussy cutting. Hoot Hoot!

This set, Bubble over, page 32 OC, is so much fun to play with.  There are 17 stamps to the set and the Bottles & Bubbles Framelits have 19 dies.  You can buy this set as a bundle and get 10% off.  I used Shimmery White CS, pg 194 in the AC.  I also used Brusho, pg 26 OC, sprinkled on the background and then spritzing it lightly with water.  Ink color is Dapper Denim.
