Awash In Beauty Birthday Card

No Comments

This is a quick and simple card but so pretty.  The floral paper from Awash In Beauty designer series paper from Stampin’ Up is just stunning and needed to get used.  I made a birthday card with the paper angled for a bit of character. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Rose Red card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Awash in Beauty designer series paper (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Happy Thoughts stamp set (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Rose Red ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Ribbon Seam Binding Rose Red (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice

From you Rose Red card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  From white card stock cut a piece to 2” x 4” and another for the inside of your card to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Find the large floral design paper in the Awash In Beauty designer series paper pack and cut a piece to 4” x 4 ¼”.

Take your 2” x 4” white card stock piece and adhere to the upper top portion of your card front.  Take the “Happy Birthday” greeting stamp and stamp in Rose Red ink in the upper right corner of your white piece.  Now with your floral piece, hold on your card and determine the angle you would like along the white piece so your greeting shows nicely and cut your angle. 

Take a piece of the Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon and wrap around your angle on the floral piece and adhere at the back.  Adhere to the front of your card base.  Take a smaller piece of the Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon and tie in a knot around your ribbon and trim the end. 

For the inside of your card use the “Today is great because it is all about you – the great person you are, the great things that you do” greeting stamp and with Rose Red ink stamp on the upper part of the white piece for your inside.  Be cautious as to where you are stamping as it is a tight fit.  Adhere to the inside of your card. 

A beautiful birthday card for someone special in your life.

Pigs in a Row Timeless Plaid Card

2 Comments

These adorable pigs just won my heart and I had to have this die set.  I started thinking last night that I wanted to do a card with some of the plaid paper from Stampin’ Ups Timeless Plaid designer series paper and these pigs just popped into my head and that was it, they were getting used. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

  • Powder Pink card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Crumb Cake card stock (Stampin’ Up)
  • Rich Razzleberry card stock (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • White card stock
  • Timeless Plaid designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
  • Quite Curvy (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Happy Thoughts (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Row of Pigs Border Cutting Dies (InLoveArts)
  • Rich Razzleberry ink (Retired Stampin’ Up)
  • Tip Top Taupe Marker (Stampin’ Up)
  • Sponge
  • Paper trimmer
  • Adhesive of choice
  • Pop dots

With your Powder Pink card stock cut a card base to 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  With the Rich Razzleberry card stock cut a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Then with your pink plaid paper cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5” and a second piece to 7/8” x 3 7/8”.  Now take your white card stock and cut it to 4” x 5 ¼”. 

Grab some spare scraps of your Powder Pink card stock and cut 5 pigs, one with all four and then cut an extra with the one you like the most.  Then with the Crumb Cake card stock and cut the wooden pen and then with a small piece cut out a corner with some of the grass cut to 7/8” x 1 ¾” with the grass extending past the 7/8”.  Take your Tip Top Taupe market and color the grass areas on the wooden pen. 

Now take a piece of spare white card stock and the “Hooray for you!” greeting stamp from the Quite Curvy stamp set.  With the curvy die, make sure the curvy greeting is lined up in the same shape as the curved die so that it will line up when you cut it.  Stamp it with the Rich Razzleberry ink.  Take the die and line it up to cut the bottom of “Hooray for You” and cut which will leave the dots border.  Do the same at the top which will cut it straight. 

Take your piece of Rich Razzleberry and the large plaid and adhere the plaid to the Rich Razzleberry and then adhere that to the front of your card.  Then adhere the wooden pen to the bottom of the front plaid piece.  Align four of your pigs along the top of the wooden pen and then adhere each of them.  Now adhere your Hooray for You greeting to the center of your plaid. 

For the inside of your card, adhere the small piece of plaid to the left side of the white inside piece.  If you haven’t already, color the grass hanging out on the small wooden pen you cut and then adhere to the lower left corner over part of the plaid.  Adhere your last pig to the to of the wooden pen. 

There is your adorable Pigs in a Row Timeless Plaid card to give a cute congratulations to anyone.
