Navy and Gray Birthday

 Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:

This card is for the challenges at Color Throwdown and Try Stampin on Tuesday.

This was a pretty simple card to put together. The birthday cakes were stamped and punched with a 1-1/4" circle punch, then layered onto a 1-3/8" scallop circle punch. The circles were then added to the Smoky Slate piece that had been embossed with the Hive 3D embossing folder. The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of Basic White, trimmed to a flag and layered on a scrap of Night of Navy, then tucked under the embossed piece. There's a bit of Clear Wink of Stella on the candle flames, but it was hard to photograph.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Tin Anniversary

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is for a cousin celebrating a 10th (tin/aluminum) wedding anniversary.

 

When I saw that the 10th anniversary was tin, my first thought was this Tin Tile embossing folder. I love the detail in this folder! I embossed the hearts with the Subtle embossing folder and layered them on the front, then added the sentiment die cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies.

This design was inspired by the sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps.

Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

Card of the Day - Paper Blooms Mystery Stamping

 Hello and welcome back! Today I'm sharing a card that I made during my latest upline meeting. She sent us instructions for the pieces to cut and we assembled them during our Zoom meeting. It was kind of funny how many of us chose the same DSP! Here's a photo of the card:

Here are the dimensions for the pieces I cut:

dark folded card base cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" (I used Night of Navy)

designer series paper -  3 vertical oriented cut 1" x 3", can be different or all the same pattern (I used Paper Blooms)

accent color that coordinates with your DSP - 2 pieces cut 1" x 5-1/4" (I used Seaside Spray)

white or vanilla cut 3-1/2" x 4"

stamped greeting that is punched or die cut

accent ribbon bow

You can see the placement of each of the elements in the photo above. Instead of an accent bow, I tied the ribbon around the white piece before popping it up on the card front with dimensionals. Since the large piece is popped, I just glued the punched sentiment and tucked it under the ribbon. I added a few champagne rhinestones to some flower centers for some bling. I thought about using the regular rhinestones but I like the contrast better.

We made another card, but I had not prepared my "kit," so I'll share a card with those instructions tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
