Sprinkles of Life Birthday Card

Sprinkles of Life Playful Backgrounds Birthday card using Stampin' Up! UK products

Making Birthday cards for our Young Adults are some of the trickiest cards I make all year, and it’s only made harder when that person is a boy! My brother-in-law turned 15 over the weekend, and I’m sure this card had no impact on his day, but I enjoyed making it anyway!Sprinkles of Life Playful Backgrounds Birthday card using Stampin' Up! UK products

This card uses Sprinkles of Life, and the coordinating Tree Builder Punch, with the ice-cream stamped in Tip Top Taupe, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo – Neapolitan anyone?!

I put this card together, but it was a little bit plain. So I added a background stamped using Playful Backgrounds in Soft Sky.

Sprinkles of Life Card Collection

Stampin' Up! UK Sprinkles of Life Cards

I have been sitting on these cards for a while, so long that when I went to blog about them last week I released that I had completely forgotten to photograph them!

Stampin' Up! UK Sprinkles of Life Card collection

Every now and again I love to make different sizes of shapes of card. Usually I stick to A6 cards (half an A4 folded in half) but these are 4 x 4″ squares.

I wanted to show off this wonderful stamp set, when I first got my hands on this one I knew I wanted to make a series of cards reflecting the seasons – so here they are, four cards for four seasons!

Stampin' Up! UK Sprinkles of Life Cards

The cards also use the latest In-Colours; Mint Macaron, Delightful Dijon, Cucumber Crush and Watermelon Wonder. Along with various Designer Series Papers.

The Winter card in the top left hand corner is Mint Macaron, and features a piece of the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper stack. The great thing about this stamp set is the coordinating Tree Builder Punch, which helps you create great trees, clouds, rain drops, apples and flowers!

The Autumn card, in Delightful Dijon, features a piece of the Bohiemain Designer Series Paper, while the Spring and summer card both use the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper stack.

CASing the Artisan Design Team!

Stampin' Up! UK Artisan Design Team Sprinkles of Life Happy Birthday CASE card

There are so many great things about being a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator, one being the amazing about of inspiration – not only does each demonstrator regularly receive an Exclusive magazine filled with ideas and tips, but also the worldwide community of demonstrators share so many wonderful ideas through our Exclusive Social network – Stampin’ Connection. And then there is the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team, a group of demonstrators hand-picked by Stampin’ Up! to provide inspiration to us and you!

I have been loving following the Design Team blog hops this year, and have taken a huge amount of inspiration from each and every one of them, but I have never copied a card – until now!

Stampin' Up! UK Artisan Design Team Sprinkles of Life Happy Birthday CASE card

I’ll let you follow the link to Alison’s original version of this card, from where I have taken my inspiration today.

This card uses the wonderful Sprinkles of Life stamp set – this years Ronald MacDonald House Charities Stamp Set – on watercolour paper to create a lovely watercoloured look, and punched out with the coordinating Tree Builder Punch (without a tree in sight!)

The Ice Cream itself is watercoloured using Marina Mist ink, while the cone is in Hello Honey. And the Blushing Bride watercolour circle is a bit of a cheat! I have yet to invest in the Circle Thinlits dies (though they are way up there on my list) so this circle is actually hand cut, using the base of a refill bottle of Stampin’ Mist as a template!

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!

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

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.

Ronald McDonald House Charities – Sprinkles of Life

Every year Stampin’ Up! creates a special charity stamp set for Ronald McDonald House Charities, donating over $1 million to the charities across the world. This years stamp set is awesome! but I fear you might not have spotted it in the catalogue, its right on the very back cover! page 189!

Stampin' Up! UK Sprinkles of Life

It’s it adorable! and if gets even better, there is a coordinating punch available too! Allowing you to create trees, cupcakes, clouds, ice creams, flower baskets, and much much more!

Stampin' Up! UK Sprinkles of Life Cupcake

This card was so quick and easy to stamp, and punch. The centre cupcake is raised on dimensionals, but only after being curled with a bone folder to create that round effect. The sprinkles on the same cupcake are Designer Series Paper – Cherry on Top – and they are actually tiny little hearts, but look so good as sprinkles!

For each stamp set purchased Stampin’ Up! will donate £2 to Ronald McDonald House Charities. Have I mentioned what they do? I don’t think I have! Ooops! They are an amazing children’s charity providing homes for families of sick children near to the hospital, keeping families together at the most difficult times of their lives, Awesome right!

What are you going to create with this great stamp set?
