Irresistible Birthday

Stampin' Up! UK Colour me irresistible boys birthday card

Over the next month I’m planning a series of cards purely for the guys in your life. We all struggle with cards for our husbands, sons, dads etc. for me the key is keeping things simple.

I sent this card to my brother for his birthday last month, it was super quick and simple to make, mostly thanks to Stampin’ Up!®

The main focus of this card is the Colour Me Irresistible Designer Series Paper (LOVE!) which comes in 12 x 12 sheets of white card stock with a resist pattern, as well as some sheets that are pre-coloured. This card uses a white sheet with a woodgrain resist, that I have inked with my Stampin’ Sponges in Chocolate Chip and Early Espresso to create a realistic wood effect.

Aren’t we always struggling for men’s birthday cards aren’t we?! Why are men so damn tricky! Well I think I have a almost perfect men’s card for you today

Stampin' Up! UK Colour Me Irresistible World Map

What do you think? What to know how I did that background? Well, because I love you, I will tell you!

The secret is Colour Me Irresistible (The speciality Designer Series Paper at the top of page 142 of the Annual Catalogue) This great designer series paper features some pieces of white resist paper, including this great stripe. I love stamping on Designer Series Paper, I have a habit of hoarding DSP, and getting it out to stamp on is a great way for me to use it! So, I’ve stamped on the Colour Me Irresistible using the World Map Background stamp – so great for Men’s card!

That Happy Birthday, well that’s from Guy Greetings, and I have used the decorative label to punch it out. Then I have used the same punch on a piece of Real Red card stock, and cut the punched piece in half, attaching on half to one side of my sentiment piece, and the other to the other side. This is then popped onto a couple of Dimensionals and added to the card over a couple of loops of Linen thread.

Technique Tuesday | Colour Me Irresistible

Stampin' Up! UK Sprinkles of life colour me irresistible;l

I’m a bit concerned that this fantastic Designer Series Paper may have passed you by in the Annual Catalogue this year! It can be found at the very top of page 142, it just looks like a series of coloured chevrons – but take a closer look! Its the most wonderful Designer Series Paper – do you remember the Irresistibly Yours DSP from Sale-a-bration this year? Well, its like that – but better! You get 12 sheets, all with fabulous patterns in ink resist embossing, but some are pre-coloured, while others are white – all ready for you, a sponge and your favourite ink!

Paired here with the wonderful Sprinkles of Life Stamp set, I can’t choose which version of the paper is my favourite! The one on the left uses the pre-coloured Colour Me Irresistible paper, while the right had card features the DSP that has been coloured by me with my trusty sponge and some Mint Macaron Ink!

Have I mentioned about the Sprinkles of Life stamp set by the way? Not only is it super cute! but also £2 is donated to Ronald Macdonald House Charities here in the UK for each stamp set sold! Awesome right! RMHC do fantastic work, keeping parents and sick children close together during some of the worst times, providing houses near to hospitals.
