Happiest Birthday

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   Stampin' Up's "Happiest of Birthdays" set is such a great set for making quick, bold birthday cards! I really like the large sentiments--they're so fun! For today's card, I paired the sentiment with textures and patterns. Take a look!

I started by stamping the sentiment in Calypso Coral Ink onto a 2-1/2" by 3-1/2" Whisper White Panel. I cut a 3" by 4" piece of the Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper and I embossed a 3" by 4" piece of Calypso Coral Card Stock with the Absolutely Argyle 3D Embossing Folder.

Next, I embossed a 4" by 5-1/4" piece of Coastal Cabana Card Stock with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to a Thick Whisper White Card Stock card base. I arranged the Calypso Coral piece and the Playing with Patterns DSP piece and adhered them to the card. I adhered the sentiment piece to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I tied a pretty bow with a length of Night of Navy Ribbon from the Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot. For some fun finishing touches, I added three Playing with Patterns Resin Dots.

Isn't this card so fun--and it's relatively simple to make, too! You can get everything you need to make this card by shopping online with me. Just click on one of the thumbnails below and you'll be taken to my online store where you can place your order!

Happiest Day

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations  How's your summer going? I'm having a relaxing time, spending most days at home around the house. I'm working a little bit more each week and, man, it's hard to get back into the swing of things. But I'm making the best of the situation and enjoying the time to myself.

Whenever I have time to myself, I'm in my craft room, but I'm not feeling as creative as I used to be. I think my mind is telling me that I have all the time in the world and I can do that--whatever "that" is--later. I'm realizing that I need deadlines! Do you feel like that?

Anyway, I have a fun card to share with you today. It uses the new "Happiest of Birthdays" stamp set on page 103 of the annual catalog and it's paired with the fun Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper, Ribbon, and Resin Dots--from the Playing with Patterns Suite on page 100. Look at this sweet card!

I started with a 4" by 5-1/4" Whisper White Card Stock panel. I adhered two 2-1/4" by 3-1/4" pieces of Playing with Patterns 6" by 6" DSP. Then I wrapped a length of the striped Purple Posy ribbon from the Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack around the gap between the DSP and tied it into a pretty knot. I adhered this to a Purple Posy Card Stock card base.

Next, I stamped a sentiment from the "Happiest of Birthdays" stamp set in Coastal Cabana Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock and cut it out with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I adhered this to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For a finishing touch, I added three Playing with Patterns Resin Dots. Aren't they adorable? They remind me of candy dots!

Have a wonderful weekend! Stay healthy! Stay safe!

Happy, Happy Birthday

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   There's so much to love in Stampin' Up's new annual catalog and I'm loving the bold stamps and bright designer series papers. Take the "Happiest of Birthdays" stamp set, for instance. It has four big, bold birthday sentiments that make for fun cards. Paired with the Playing with Patterns 6" by 6" DSP, it makes a really cute card. See what I mean?

This card also has a fun fold. Start with your typical half sheet of Night of Navy Card Stock, cut lengthwise. Score it at 5-1/2" as normal, but cut off the 3-1/2" by 4-1/4" piece as shown. Then take that piece and cut a rectangle using one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. Next, adhere a 1-3/4" by 4" piece of Playing with Patterns DSP to the flap and wrap it with a length of the Coastal Cabana Ribbon from the Playing with Patterns Ribbon Combo Pack.

Next, stamp the sentiment from the "Happiest of Birthdays" in Night of Navy Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock and cut it out with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. Adhere this to the Night of Navy Rectangle with Stampin' Dimensionals, then adhere the Night of Navy Rectangle to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. Add a 4" by 5-1/4" Whisper White panel for the inside of the card.

For a finishing touch, add two Coastal Cabana Playing with Patterns Resin Dots. Don't they look like candy dots? How fun!

Stay healthy! Stay safe!
