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?!

All of the Stampin' Up! products used to make this card are listed below.  If you would like to buy them for yourself, just click on one of the thumbnail images, and you'll be taken direct to my online store.

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!

JAI #313: STAMPIN' UP! MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD

I've gone all out for this week's Just Add Ink challenge!  Tina has challenged us to "Just Add B" to a papercraft project.  Well, after some major brainstorming of "B" elements, I narrowed it down to six to cram onto one card!  (I guess you might even say seven, if counting the fact that it's a birthday card.)

I have made a blue and black birthday card for my brother, featuring a balloon stamped with the Baby Wipe technique - and punched the sentiment using the new Duet Banner punch!  There were a few other things I could have added, but decided that would be just showing off.

The placement of the sentiment is a bit unusual for me, but a lovely big black ink smudge dictated that it was to go in the top right corner.  (I'd gone too far with the making of the card, to start it all again!)  I quite like it; might use this layout again.

Here's my "chock full of B" card:




Don't you think the balloon looks a bit "galactic"?  I decided it needed a bit of shimmer and sparkle, so painted over it with my Clear Wink of Stella pen.




Listed below are all the current Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  The sentiment was created using the yet-to-be-released Confetti Celebration and Thoughtful Banners stamp sets, and Duet Banner punch, so I can't link to those in my online store (until 1st June - not long now).  Similarly, Dapper Denim ink (refill and Stampin' Pad), cardstock and ruched ribbon were used, but don't show below.

Here are the colours I used on this card:



Make sure you check out all the fun the Design Team had with this week's Just Add Ink challenge.  We'd love to see what "B" you add to your card or scrapbook page, so don't forget to link up your creation at the Just Add Ink site.
