STAMPIN' UP! TRANQUIL TEXTURES MASCULINE 18TH BIRTHDAY CARD

I bought the Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper pack with masculine cards in mind.  Today a special young man turns 18, so I broke open a few new products to make his card.




After stamping the circle from Swirly Frames, in Crumb Cake ink on Whisper White card, I inked up the 'streamers' from Birthday Backgrounds in Mint Macaron ink.  I stamped off onto scrap paper first, then onto the Whisper White circle.

I wanted Night of Navy stars, so used the Dark Night of Navy Stampin' Blends marker to colour a few white stars from the Metallic Sequins assortment.  I placed a small Mint Macaron Faceted Dot in the centre of each star.

The die cut "18" was made with the now-retired Large Numbers Framelits.  Everything else I used on the card is current, and is listed below.  If you would like to purchase these products for yourself, and you live in Australia, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

STAMPIN' UP! BROADWAY BIRTHDAY CAKE CARD

A few of the designs in Stampin' Up!'s Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper pack are so bright and cheery, that they don't need much embellishment.  One of them is a sheet of paper covered in cake ... yummo!

Here's a simple, but fun, card I made with these papers, and the little party hat from the Broadway Birthday stamp set.  I inked the hats with my Lemon Lime Twist stampin' pad, then used my Basic Black Stampin' Write marker on the tops.




I have listed below all the Stampin' Up! products I used to make this card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail product images.

I hope you are having a happy week.  I'm off on a mini-holiday tomorrow, to celebrate my 50th birthday.  I'm escaping somewhere warmer, meeting up with my dear friend from NZ, for a few days.
I'll be back to share more creations soon!

STAMPIN' UP! BLENDED SEASONS DAFFODIL DELIGHT BIRTHDAY CARD

It is my 50th birthday today!  In honour of my special day, I'd like to share with you one of my favourite cards I have made lately.  I have teamed the beautiful Blended Seasons blooms with Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty paper.

Underneath the laser-cut paper piece, is a panel of Daffodil Delight spotty Designer Series Paperr, on which I brayered Daffodil Delight ink.  I hope you can see that the brayered colour intensifies toward the bottom of the paper.  I used a Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends marker to colour some Basic Pearls, to make a nice matchy accent.




I have a busy week of celebrations, for this milestone birthday.  I've faced some pretty major challenges in my life in the past two years, and have come out the other side much stronger, and happier.  So many wonderful people truly care for me, and have my back.  I am one lucky woman.  My new life begins at 50!

I hope your week is a happy one, and I hope you, too. are blessed with loving friends and family.
