Birthday Wishes

Today's card is one that we recently made at Cards and Coffee - it's a fun card using the Build a Birthday set.  I picked my colors from the strip of DSP on the bottom of the card - this was retired SU Frosty Day DSP - that I wanted to use up.  So we used Lost Lagoon, Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive.  But you could use just about any patter of DSP and any colors and this card would be just as cute.

I think it's a great birthday card - and can be feminine or masculine - which is always a plus.  After stamping and layering we added the little gems to the candles for that needed bling.  Had a new stamper at my last Cards and Coffee, Kathy - and this was the first card she ever stamped and it turned out great!!!  See you all soon!  ~Maureen

Birthday Wishes --

Here's the first card we made at this week's Cards Stamp Camp - it uses a new stamp set "Build a Birthday" that is in the NEW catalog and not available for purchase till June 2, 2015.  It is a super cute set and was so fun to create with.  It's very versatile - change up the colors for so many different occasions - and the strips that make up the cake layer can be stood up and made into candles with the little flame stamp that comes in the set.

We also used three of the new Stampin' Up! In-colors - Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, and  Watermelon Wonder.  They worked great together on this card.I don't know if you can see it or not, but those attending were able to use either pearls or gems on their flowers.  The card above has the pearls, the one laying down below gems, but either way it's cute.

So be ready to order yours on June 2 and if you don't already have a catalog please be sure to let me know and I'll get you one (must live in the U.S., and please, if you already have a demonstrator ask them how to get a catalog.)  Here are a couple pictures of the creative process in action - hope you can join me in the future!

 

Stop back soon!  ~Maureen
