Global Design Project #081 | Endless Birthday Wishes with a Swirly Bird

Global Design Project #081 Endless Birthday Wishes with Swirly Bird Stampin' Up! Birthday Card

I always enjoy taking part in Global Design Project Challenges, but I think the colour ones are my favourite. I love being given a set of colours I had never thought of using together and seeing what I can create, saying that this week’s colour challenge was a little different

Global Design Project Stampin' Up! Colour challenge

I always enjoy using Night of Navy and Whisper White together, but that Free Choice was tricky! I have a couple of go to choices…. Watermelon Wonder or Melon Mambo…. but I didn’t want to use them this time. So I spun my Colour Caddy with my eyes closed and selected an ink that way, so ended up with Flirty Flamingo!

My current Online Card Class uses the Swirly Bird Bundle, I LOVE this stamp set. I have had so much fun making cards with Swirly Bird ready for my ladies (and gentlemen) this month. The coordinating dies not only cut out some of the stamped images, but add to the cards you make with accent pieces like this swirl!

The only (little) issue with Swirly Bird is that it doesn’t include any sentiments… however, there are some lovely sentiment sets in both the Annual and Spring Summer catalogue. This card uses Endless Birthday Wishes, (how cute is that font!) I love this stamp set, but it doesn’t come of the shelf very often… maybe I’ll have to get it out again soon!

Endless Masked Birthday Card

Handmade birthday card masking endless birthday wishes from Stampin' Up! UK

Super quick post today; I’m writing this in a bit of a hurry on Sunday night… in my Grandparents front room the night before my grandfathers funeral… however I have a happy card for you today

Handmade birthday card masking endless birthday wishes from Stampin' Up! UK

This simple but special card was made for my gorgeous mother in law a few weeks ago.

I love a good technique, and this card uses one of my favourites; masking! I used a strip of sticky note tape to mask before stamping the images from Endless Thanks in Watermelon Wonder, Calypso Coral, Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron and Bermuda Bay. The card is finished with a sprinkling of Enamel Shapes

Global Design Project 057 – Colour Challenge

Global Design Project Colour Challenge using Garden in Bloom from Stampin' Up! UK

Hello! I am loving the colour challenge over at the Global Design Project this week; a great combination of Rich Razzleberry, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron

gdp057

Now, you guys no how much I love a bit of white space, and so White always features on my projects, but this time I just couldn’t picture using one of these colours for my card base either; so I have added a touch of Crumb Cake to ground my design. Now, I’m sure that adding a neutral was allowed by the GDP, but now I can’t find it in the guidelines, oh well! Here is my card anyway

Global Design Project Colour Challenge using Garden in Bloom from Stampin' Up! UK

I’m still holding onto the last moments of summer, even though it is getting distinctly cold around here, I’m just not ready for Winter and Christmas yet! And this colour combination felt summer-y to me, so I grabbed for Garden in Bloom and made a summer-y Birthday card!

The Rich Razzleberry flower was stamped separately and fussy cut, before being added to the card with a dimensional.

The sentiment is from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set, I’m still loving the combination of those fonts, so pretty.

The flower centres are super easy to do too – punched out using the Blossom Builder Punch, and then I used to Faux Suede technique to create these cute dimensional flowers (video on that one coming soon!)

Thanks for visiting StampinByHannah today, hope to see you here again soon!

Endless Birthday Wishes

Stampin' Up! UK Endless Birthday Wishes Cake Card

It was my mum’s birthday last week, I almost always buy my mum the same thing for her birthday. With it being close (-ish) to Christmas she doesn’t want much, but she always needs slippers by this point in the year – usually because she’s spent the summer mowing the lawn in her last pair! Mum also always wants the same pair, so about a week before the big day I pop off down to Marks and Spencers for the same slippers she had last year, usually in a different colour, but always the same style. This year, I called in to my Auntie’s in London on my way home for Brussels, and picked up Mum’s birthday present from her too – the matching Pyjamas!

Mum’s birthday card however, is always a tricky one for me. My mum appreciates the effort of a handmade card, but more than once has described my cards as dull. So now, I go all out to grab out my brightest coloured card stock, and fun stamps

Stampin' Up! UK Endless Birthday Wishes Cake Card

I will admit to pulling this stamp set off the shelf, and searching Pinterest before actually making anything. I love this colour combination; Pink Pirouette (although I think I grabbed my Blushing Bride pen by mistake when colouring the cake), Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay. It so bright and fun!

The stripes are a piece of Silver Designer Series Paper from the Neutrals paper stack, cut to 14.2 x 10 cm. With a matt of Whisper White (12.2 x 8 cm), stamped with the dotty stamp in the 3 colours. I’m trying really hard at the moment to use my stash of ribbon, and this card features a piece of Melon Mambo 1 cm Stitched Satin ribbon with knot tied in it. I attach ribbon to the back of card stock using Fast Fuse, and then add more Fast Fuse over the top to help stick the card stock down.

My favourite part of the card is that lovely banner piece, Bermuda Bay and Whisper White. The cake is stamped in Basic Black and coloured using the Stampin’ Write markers.

Birthday Buttons

Stampin' Up! Endless Birthday Wishes Buttons and Vellum

This card was totally inspired by a tiny stripe of vellum that was left over on my desk after a different project! I had trimmed 1 cm off a piece of the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum for another card this week, and found it when I was playing around with some buttons – and this card was born

Stampin' Up! Endless Birthday Wishes Buttons and Vellum

This simple birthday card really occurred because I wanted to feature the Brights Buttons. I love these cute buttons, one because they are cute, and two because they coordinate with our inks and card stocks perfectly. I love Stampin’ Up! coordination, the ability to get the buttons to match the ink, to match the card stock, to match the patterned paper, embellishments and accessories.

The Happy Birthday is taken from Endless Birthday Wishes, stamped in Rich Razzleberry

Simply Gorgeous

An Endless Birthday is the Cherry on Top!

Stampin' Up! UK Cherry on Top Endless Birthday Wishes Birthday card

We have a few family birthday’s this time of year. Somehow most of James’ family were born on the 28th of a summer month! So, I have been making a pile of cards for their birthdays recently.

Last week it was James’ oldest younger sister’s birthday, and I wanted to make something fun!

Stampin' Up! UK Cherry on Top Endless Birthday Wishes Birthday card

There is only one choice for me at the moment when it comes to fun birthday cards – Cherry on Top! I love this Designer Series Paper stack! This years offerings are all great, but the fun colours of this one really speak to me; Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Cucumber Crush, Hello Honey, Pool Party, Tip Top Taupe, and Watermelon Wonder – are a lovely colour combination I have used often this summer! (Including tomorrows video tutorial project!)

This card uses a big bold piece of that Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper, with some stamping from the Endless Birthday Wishes stamp set. Don’t you just love that font! I do!

The cake was stamped in Sahara Sand ink, before being coloured with my Stampin’ Write Markers, and punched out with the Extra-Large oval punch

Cute!

Endless Hip Hip Hooray!

Stampin' Up! UK Endless Birthday Wishes Card CASE catalogue

After saying on Tuesday that it’s been a while since I did a CASE card, I have two in one week! This card is inspired by one on page 7 of the new Annual Catalogue, although different enough that you probably wouldn’t know!

I’ve been playing with the new Endless series of stamps; we have two of these great sets – Endless Birthday Wishes (which I have used here) and Endless Thanks. They are both Photopolymer sets, featuring a series of words and phases in a mixture of a tiny typed typeface and a scripty handwritten font. Just lovely!

Stampin' Up! UK Endless Birthday Wishes Card CASE catalogue

The cake was stamped onto a scrap of watercolour paper using Stazon Black, my favourite ink for water-colouring. Before colouring the cake with Rose Red Ink with less water for the top and bottom, and more water in the middle. The cake stand is in Tip Top Taupe, and the candles are pure Crushed Curry. I’ve also added a background wash of Soft Sky and quite a lot of water to ground that cake, it appeared to sort of float before!

That piece of watercolour paper is attached to a matt of Pink Pirouette, stamped with the dots stamp from the same set in the same colour ink, with some Dimensionals and with a piece of Crumb Cake Stitched Satin Ribbon sandwiched in between. Before mounting the whole piece onto a Sahara Sand card base.

So pretty!

Freshly Made Sketches #191 – It’s Your Birthday

Stampin' Up! UK Freshly Made Sketches Endless Birthday Wishes

Oh yes, It’s that time again! Playing along with Freshly Made Sketches again this week with #191!

Freshly Made Sketches 191

This sketch scared the pants off me! So much white space! I love white space, I really do, and most of my cards feature expanses of white space, but to see a sketch with so much white was just frightening!

Stampin' Up! UK Freshly Made Sketches Endless Birthday Wishes

I’ve had a stack of card stock sat out on my shelf this week, and the Real Red piece shouted at me for this card. As soon as I saw the two little strips on the sketch I knew I wanted to use some Designer Series Paper, so I pulled Typeset – I love this paper, its so pretty but I hadn’t used it on a card before! I know, its shocking, but putting DSP on cards is something I struggle with – I am a total stamper at heart.

Initially I grabbed Guy Greetings for my sentiment, but I quickly changed my mind to the lovely new Endless Birthday Wishes. I uses a ruler and pencil to draw a line across the piece of Very Vanilla card stock, and I stamped the sentiment in Real Red on the line. Sometimes I find this way to get a straight line quicker than pulling out my Stamp-a-ma-jig!

I almost thought the card was finished, but it just felt a little too clean! I’ve been playing with the Birthday Blossoms preparing for my Stamp-a-Stack for July, so pulled it again for these awesome flowers punched with the Pansy Punch.

Thanks for stopping by today, see you again soon
