JAI #335: STAMPIN' UP! FESTIVE BIRTHDAY CARD

Tina has come up with a pretty cool sketch for our Just Add Ink challenge, launching today.  Normally our challenges run for one week, but we're extending this one until 9th November, as several members of the Design Team (including yours truly, woohoo!) will be attending Stampin' Up!'s On Stage Live event in Brisbane next week. I'm so looking forward to catching up with some friends who I see perhaps only once a year.

Here is the sketch, which at first had me a bit stumped, as is usually the case with any circular elements! However, the design translated into a rather fun card, so it has me hooked!  I plan to use this sketch to make a few more cards ... but don't hold your breath, with my upcoming time away in Brisbane meaning no card making for a little while.

I have let the gorgeous Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper do all the talking on this card!  This is the first time I've used my Stylized Birthday stamp, and I just love the look of it, white-embossed on Melon Mambo card.  The texture on the two white semi-circles is provided by the Festive embossing folder.

Listed below are all the Stampin' Up! products to make this cheery card.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, clicking on one of the thumbnail images will take you to my online store.

You must check out the rest of the Design Team's creations, to see what fun everyone had with this sketch!

STAMPIN' UP! CELEBRATE TODAY 21ST BIRTHDAY CARD

Welcome to my blog; thanks for visiting today!

I have, as promised, another 21st birthday card to share with you.  This one was also inspired by this week's Just Add Ink challenge.

I really love the background on this card.  I simply repeatedly stamped the bunting in Real Red ink, on Real Red card.  Cute, don't you think?!

JAI #334: STAMPIN' UP! 21ST BIRTHDAY CARD

This week at Just Add Ink, Di has come up with an inspiration pic, as a jumping off point for a card or other papercraft project.

The elements I have chosen to incorporate on my card, are some red bunting,  large red numbers, and black wording on Crumb Cake card.

  These colours are great, and rather festive, for a masculine birthday card, I think.

Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team's creations this week; they are pretty cool!  We hope you feel inspired to make your own, and link it up over at the Just Add Ink site.

I have listed below all the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  While I had these supplies out, I made a second card ... come back tomorrow, and I'll have it up on my blog!
