Hello,
On the weekend we went to a Birthday party for a little boy in our family who celebrated his first birthday.
I wanted to make a really bright birthday card for him so decided to use these lovely papers and stamps from our Stampin' Up! collection.
The stamps are from the 'Wild About You' set and the papers are from the 'Jersey Shore' Designer Series.
I stamped the three animals on white card then punched them out with a circle punch. They were then attached to contrasting scalloped circles made from some of the papers in the set.
I had then mounted the dotty paper onto some dark blue card then onto the orange base card.
I crimped a strip of the dark blue paper and attached it across the lower half of the card then added the animal circles and the birthday 'medallion' using 3D foam dots.
The birthday 'medallion' was made with a dark blue scalloped circle with contrasting smaller circles adhered over the top. I then added a blue holographic peel-off sticker which was the number 'one'.
The greeting was from the same stamp set and after stamping it on white card, I inked the edges then attached it to the centre of the crimped strip. I then added a self-adhesive gem either side of the greeting to finish off the card.
SU Supplies:-
Cardstock - Brilliant Blue, Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White
Inks - Brilliant Blue, Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie
Stamp set - Wild About You
Designer Series Papers - Jersey Shore
Punches - Scalloped circle, circle punches
Extras -
Crimper, adhesive gems, 3D foam dots, peel-off stickers
It was a great day and the Birthday Boy had a lot of fun with his cousins and other family members.
Well that's it for another day - thanks for stopping by. Come back again soon to see what else I've been up to.
'Bye for now !!
