Happy Hawmp Day, y’all! I’m one day and a wake-up away from heading to Savannah! OnStage here I come! Oh – and CenterStage, too!! Whoo-hoo! When I get back, I’m gonna be full of new ideas and in possession of the new catalog, some fun swag (stamp sets and new papers and….oh, who knows what goodness there will be!!) I tell ya – it’s a great time of the year to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator!! 🙂
My card for today comes from the Window Shopping bundle – available now in the Occasions catalog as a 10% off bundle! – and is a quick and easy Birthday card! Take a look-see:
Pssst…that’s Night of Navy even though it looks like its black! 🙂
I did a CASE-piration from the Succeed Magazine (Stampin’ Up! publication for demonstrators) for the idea for the card.
The color scheme is from the Global Design Project color challenge this week…
I made this card as a smaller Note Card – perfect for adding to the inside of a gift box!
I started with a piece of Whisper White card stock. First, I cut the Window Box Thinlits candles and then I stamped the sentiment from the Window Shopping stamp set in Night of Navy, using my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig to position it where I wanted it.
Behind the candles, using some dabs of Liquid Glue, I adhered a small piece of So Saffron card stock (behind the flames) and a piece of Night of Navy card stock (behind the candles). Then I SNAILd the panel to a So Saffron mat and then to a Night of Navy mat.
I wrapped a piece of Night of Navy Solid Baker’s Twine around the panel and tied a small bow. To finish it off, I used my So Saffron Stampin’ Write Marker to gently color the bottom parts of the sentiment. I added a few So Saffron Enamel Shapes and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added the cupcake image from the Window Shopping stamp set across the bottom of a Whisper White panel in So Saffron.
I SNAILd the panel to So Saffron and Night of Navy mats and into my Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and the card was done!
I used an envelope from the Whisper White Note Cards and Envelopes set, and stamped more So Saffron Window Shopping cupcakes across the front…
And I added a second Window Shopping sentiment in Night of Navy to the envelope flap, plus another couple of cupcakes.
Here’s where I’d usually say “Et Voila!” – but first…
I made the same card – but used Blushing Bride and Pink Pirouette to make it a more feminine card! Same. Exact. Card. Different color scheme! Easy Peasy!
Et Voila! This is a really fun bundle – and this card doesn’t even get to the actual box that’s made with the Window Box Thinlits.
Hope you like!
