Go for Greece Blog Hop | Beautiful Day Birthday Card

Pretty Night of Navy Birthday card using the Butterfly stamp from Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Go for Greece Blog Hop Beautiful Day Birthday Card

Go for Greece Blog Hop

I’m back blog hopping today with the fabulous ladies from Go for Greece! I have been having so much fun (and learning a LOT!) from this wonderful bunch of women…. and being able to join them for another blog hop is so exciting!

I actually made this card during a really organised few days at the start of the month… before we had attending Stampin’ Up! OnStage, and learned about some of the upcoming changes to out inks and colour families. I have a full blog post about the changes, that you can find HERE! One of the changes though is that Night of Navy will move colour family from the Regals into the Neutrals. I LOVE this idea… as I use Night of Navy as a neutral so often, and it is one of my ‘go to’ card base colours too.

How to make a pretty butterfly Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

I have been playing with Vellum a lot recently, I just LOVE the soft effects you can create with it. This card has a layer of Vellum over the top of the stamped butterfly. The trick with using Vellum on cards is getting it to stick! Here I have used glue does behind that big fat bow, and a small piece of Tear & Tape behind the heat embossed sentiment. I’ve used Tear & Tape because its clear, and so when you use it on Whisper White card stock it disappears! Awesome!

Go for Greece Blog Hop Happy Birthday Card using Beautiful Day

Today’s card is finished with a pretty double bow of the retiring Night of Navy Crinkle Seam Binding Ribbon, I am so sad to see this go I’ve used it SO much! The other ribbon is the 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon which I was excited to see is in the new Annual Catalogue! I will be sharing more about what is coming, and how you can get a catalogue from me really soon, but in the meantime do hop along to the other ladies on this fabulous blog hop… I’m sure some of them might just have a couple of sneak peaks for you!

James’ True Gentleman Birthday Card…

Fun birthday card using Truly Tailored and True Gentleman Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah James’ True Gentleman Birthday Card…

 

So, last week I shared THIS card for Inspire.Create.Challenges… well today I have the card that sparked that one!

This card was also inspired by a Global Design Project sketch challenge from a few weeks ago, and while I didn’t quite get to posting it for that challenge, I still wanted to share it with you.

How to make a classic Man's Birthday Card using True Gentleman from Stampin' Up!

So, the background of the Basket Weave Embossing Folder was a freebie during Sale-a-bration, but is coming back in this years Annual Catalogue! Yay! But it isn’t available right now 🙁

The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper is a fun mix of heaps of guy themed images and classic patterns, and it is perfect for guy cards. Each layer here has had it’s edges sponged with Crumb Cake ink to help to tie everything together for a fully cohesive look

Fun Masculine Birthday card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

The ‘You’re a Fox’ stamp coordinates with the Tailored Tag punch… but I will admit that rather than buying it, I hand cut this one! It’s a nice simple shape… and I would rather spend my £££’s on stamps!

This card is finished with a length of Corduroy Night of Navy ribbon and a trio of True Gentleman Buttons

How to make a fun Masculine Birthday Card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

This card was inspired by another card I have made recently (that I’ll be sharing with you very soon!). I have been really enjoying making men’s card with the True Gentleman suite, the stamps and Designer Series Paper just tie together so perfectly… don’t you LOVE it when products do that, makes crafting so easy!

The card base is in Sahara Sand, and the first layer is a sheet of Night of Navy card stock embossed using the Hexagons Embossing Folder. You can find my standard card making measurements HERE!

Cool Man's card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

There are 3 different pieces of Designer Series Paper at work here too… along with a circle of DIY Designer Series Paper (stamped using the Truly Tailored stamp set). The circles are all cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits, these dies are definitely at the top of my crafty MUST HAVE list, I use them SO often!

This card is finished with a trio of strips of Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon.

Embossed Resist Berry Burst Birthday

Berry Burst Embossed Resist Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Embossed Resist Berry Burst Birthday

 

You guys know how much I love playing with inks… and today’s card features one of my favourite stamping techniques; Embossed Resist!

Berry Burst Embossed Resist Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

The Embossed Resist technique is simple to achieve but so much fun, and there are so many different looks you can get that the possibilities are almost endless! So, here the flowers from Beautiful Day were stamped down the left hand side of the piece of Whisper White card stock in Versamark ink, and then heat embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then Berry Burst ink is added over the top with a sponge… where the heat embossing is resists the ink and therefore remains white while the rest of the card stock becomes coloured.

Berry Burst Embossed Resist Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

The rest of the card came together pretty quickly, with the stamped sentiment from the Beautiful Day Stamp Set, Berry Burst Woven Ribbon, and a trio of Petal Passion Embellishments.

It was my younger brother’s birthday at the end of February, and i needed a quick card to send him.

I actually made him 2 cards in one week… you can find the other one HERE!

How to make a quick and easy Birthday Card using Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

The Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper stack makes AWESOME Birthday cards, with fabulous photo-real images on one side and fun patterns on the other, you can create fabulous cards in a snap. I’ve paired the Designer Series Paper with the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set, for a coordinate look… Don’t you love that that stamp fits inside the balloon perfectly!
