Todays card is using one of the fab Free yes Free stamp sets from Stampin Up. Called Home to Roost it features a cockerel stuttering his stuff. I coloured him in using Stampin Write Markers in bright bold colours. I also used the markers to add extra lines to the piece of gingham gala dsp. All together i think the bold colours and striking image make for a bright cheerful card to start the week off with 😁

Blow Out The Candles - Day 5

Hello from me for the last time this week.

As promised, I have upped my game a bit from yesterday's very simple card, the one on the right of the picture below.

 

This time, I coordinated it with the Candles and Confetti Framelits and the Big Shot.

The same style of card as yesterday but with the diecutting, it takes it to another level for those who have a die cutting machine. I sponged lightly over the circle and the white mat behind it                with Granny Apple Green Ink.

I LOVE Granny Apple Green with the Gorgeous Grape. The colours just go so well together.

As with the card yesterday, I stamped a few of the balloons along the edges of the inside mat. 

To finish off, I triple stamped the message...EAT CAKE AND ENJOY YOUR DAY.

Isn't that what everyone should do on their birthday?

Thank you for stopping by this week. Please stop by again next week to see Cary's amazing creations.

Blow Out The Candles - Day 4

Today's card is a #simplestampin card.

Unusual for me to make so straight forward a card especially as it took me as long to

design this as my other makes do!

I started this one with just a large Whisper White circle and a scalloped mat in Gorgeous Grape cardstock beneath it.  

I sponged lightly across the white circle in Granny Apple Green and also the centre of the white mat. Then I stamped the Happy Birthday message and the Balloons onto a scrap of card.  I fussy cut them out and added them to the front of the card. 

 

 On the inside, I stamped a few of the balloons along the edge for a little detail. 

Then that's it. 

Tomorrow I will be stepping up this one with a little more .....???

Please stop by and see what I did to up my game on it!

Blow Out The Candles - Day 3

Today's card is to welcome a new baby.

This card I coordinated with a lovely stamp set called A Little Wild.

It not only shows the front of each animal or cuddly, it has the back of them too.

I used the Balloons from Blow Out The Candles to make the background. 

 I coloured some White Sheer Ribbon using the ink pads in So Saffron, Calypso Coral  and Smoky Slate.

I used Whisper White and Smoky Slate cardstock and the message was cut using the Pretty Label Punch.

Blow Out The Candles - Day 2

Hello.

 Today's card is another fairly straight forward one with a stamped mat and cake.

I stamped the 2 candles side by side using Memento then stamped them again just moving them 

along by 1 candle and added colour using Grapefruit Grove Ink pad.

I added the cake onto the smaller mat using dimensionals and adhered both of the mats onto Black Foiled card. It gives a lovely shine around the edges.

I added a piece of Black 1/8" cord and tied it by making a 'tie' knot.

I finished off with a simple Memento message on the inside and added a balloon to

match the colours.

Weekly Inspiration - Stamp Set

Hello, this week I will be showing you some samples of cards that I've made using

the Blow Out The Candles stamp set. 

 This stamp set is a 2 step set which enables you to stamp the outer image and then the inside.

 

Using a very simple layout, I had a piece of Whisper White card that I had embossed earlier

so I felt it had to be used, It was embossed with the lovely Swirls and Curls Folder. It gives quite a deep impression so I pushed it back a little using a bone folder just to soften it.

I coordinated it with the lovely Granny Apple Green cardstock and Ink for the inside images of the 

balloons and cake. The white balloons are washed over with the Clear Wink of Stella. It gives a little shiny sparkle. Sadly, my camera doesn't show it.

All of the images and the outer text is using Memento Ink Pad. I also edged the banner on the front and the inside white mat with the Memento too. 

 

I finished off with a little cake and Happy Birthday inside.

My grandsons favourite colours at the moment, so this will be for

 his 10th birthday card for this coming Friday.

  

So as the message says, Eat Cake and Enjoy Your Day
