Birthday – Cynthia's Creative Corner

Category: Birthday

Well, it is feeling so much like fall out there so why not focus on some great-looking pumpkins!

The Come to Gather Designer Series paper package contains some great designs and I put my focus on those lovely pumpkins for this card. Well, I had to add some fall-coloured leaves as well so I could show off the new Celestial Copper Delicata Metallic ink. That’s a mouthful but the ink is fabulous to work with and adds just the right amount of “fall feels”! So why stop at leaves, why not add a copper-inked wreath as well?!

TIP: Make sure to check out all of the Delicata Metallic inks on page 16 of the Holiday Catalogue!

The original plan was to play along with The Paper Players colour challenge and I think that I did get all of the colours in. Plus a few extras, lol!

Here’s the list of products that I used.

“Days are beautiful that begin with you”! What better way to say that than with this lovely greeting card.

It’s such a simple way to send that greeting to someone that you love!

A BRIGHT BIRTHDAY GREETING

Wow, today I’m going from neutral to really bright with this happy birthday card. Warning – you may want to wear sunglasses, lol!

I wasn’t fooling – this one is bright! I played around with the Pigment Sprinkles and a Stampin’ Spritzer to get these cheery blooms just right!

The image was first stamped using Jet Black Stazon ink and then I carefully sprinkled the powders so the right colour would end up as close to where I wanted it as possible. I used Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo and then very carefully and gently spritzed. All-in-all not too bad for the finish.

I was following along with the new Freshly Made Sketches layout so decided to go all in on bright and used the Daffodil Delight Pigment Sprinkles for the background. Wow!

Here’s the list of products used. Make sure to check out the Pigment Sprinkles, they are so much fun to use!

Band Together Bundle [151076] $74.50	Melon Mambo 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [115320] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Jet Black Stāzon Ink Pad [101406] $13.50
Pigment Sprinkles [149663] $31.00	Stampin’ Spritzer [126185] $4.00	Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine [124262] $4.75	Paper Snips [103579] $13.50

Hi and welcome! Today’s card features the Varied Vases Photopolymer stamp set and matching Vases Builder Punch.

It is so sweet with those trailing blooms and I’m sure will be received with delight! To get those flowers and vases placed just right, I used a post-it note to cover the designer paper while stamping the flower images.

I followed along with the new CAS(E) this sketch challenge for the layout which worked perfectly with my idea.

Here’s the list of products used.

Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set [146644] $33.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper [149592] $15.75

Happy Monday to you and welcome! Today’s card is about a day of Love & Joy wether it be a wedding, anniversary or a birthday!

I played around with the Woven Heirlooms Bundle for this (the sentiments in the stamp set are truly beautiful) and added some interest with the Flourish Dies and Highland Heather cardstock.

TIP: I learned when using the Woven Heirlooms dies and 3D embossing folders that you need to cut the shape out first and then place them into the embossing folders. This will give a much deeper pattern impression. They cannot be used at the same time.

Here’s the list of products used for you.

Woven Heirlooms Bundle [151093] $64.75	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Thick Cardstock [140272] $11.25	Highland Heather 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146986] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25
Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad [149165] $10.25	Flourish Dies [141478] $39.00	Paper Snips [103579] $13.50	Snail Adhesive [104332] $9.50
Mini Glue Dots [103683] $7.25	Stampin’ Dimensionals [104430] $5.50	Fine-Tip Glue Pen [138309] $9.50	Stamparatus [146276] $67.00
Simply Scored [122334] $41.00	Bone Folder [102300] $9.50

Have a happy Monday and Happy Stamping!

Today’s card is something a little different from my usual style. I did a little stamp spritzing for this one.

So, I inked up the flowers from the A Little Lace cling stamp set and then used the Stampin’ Spritzer on the stamp before applying it to the paper. I used Calypso Coral and Blueberry Bushel inks for this.

TIP: Definitely used Shimmery White cardstock for this technique as it take water well and doesn’t pill.

Then, that imaged need a frame so I used two of the Stitched Rectangle dies to make the Calypso Coral frame and adhered it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To keep the colour the same, I used a piece of Shimmery White to create the card base as well.

Here’s the list of products used.

A Little Lace Cling Stamp Set [149364] $29.00	Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set [146644] $33.00	Blueberry Bushel 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146968] $11.50	Calypso Coral 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [122925] $12.00

HIDDEN FLOWERS

Today’s card uses the Parcels & Petals Bundle again! It’s so easy to use and I created this pretty card with it.

I was checking out Pinterest and found a card that used a die to create an interesting edge so tried it myself. The Seasonal Layers dies have a great scalloped piece and that it was I used to make two separate layers for the card front.

The flower image was stamped onto Whisper White with Highland Heather Ink. Then I added more by “stamping off” so the other blooms would be a softer colour.

Then it was just a matter of picking the perfect greeting and putting the card together. I used a lot of Stampin’ Dimensionals and the Grid Paper for placement of the pieces.

Here’s the list of products used.

Parcels & Petals Bundle [151107] $69.25	Highland Heather 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [146986] $12.00	Whisper White 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock [100730] $13.25	Highland Heather Classic Stampin’ Pad [147103] $10.25

I pulled out the simple A Good Man cling stamp set for this and, to follow along with The Paper Players challenge, kept it clean and simple. My Dad was a tall man, 6’6″ so whenever he picked me up I felt that I could see for miles! And, yes, I once had red hair, lol.
