Tuesday's Tip - Stamparatus FUN...Background Stamping

Hello everyone!  I just finished watching a movie with my daughter...Second Chances, a barrel racing movie! It's kind of cheesy but a great message of forgiveness and second chances...for people, for horses, for relationships!  I LOVE that she still likes to hang out with dear old mom!

It's time for Tuesday's Tip...I hope you'll be inspired!

So here's the card that I created!  The Whisper White card base is 5 1/2" X 8" and the front is embossed with the Scattered Sequins embossing folder.  I stamped on a 3 1/2" X 4 1/4 inch piece of Whisper White cardstock using Pacific Point and Mango Melody inks.  After stamping, I matted the image onto a 3 5/8" X 4 3/8" piece of Pacific Point cardstock. The ribbon is Lemon Lime Twist Ombre ribbon and the balloons are stamped with the Balloon Celebration stamp set an punched with the Balloon Bouquet punch.  The image and the balloons are all attached with dimensionals. I almost forgot to mention that I also embossed the small balloon with the Scattered Sequins embossing folder!  Super simple card to create...especially with your stamparatus!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Good morning stampin' friends!  Top of the morning to you!  I woke up to snow on the mountain tops this morning!  It's SO BEAUTIFUL!  I have to go down the mountain to take my mother-in-law to the doctor so I'm really happy there isn't any snow at my house!  Hoping you have a terrific day!

I'm sharing another April class card with you today! I really wanted to showcase what you can do with designer paper...you've probably noticed that already with my other two cards!

This card has a Bermuda Bay card base that measures 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  Instead of scoring it in the middle, I decided I wanted a fun fold and scored it at 2 1/8" and and 6 3/8".  Next I cut two panels from Picture Perfect Party 6" X 6" designer paper.  The panels measure 1 7/8" X 5 1/4".  This is the same designer paper pack that I used on the candle card a couple of days ago. You can make gobs of birthday cards with this paper! 

Next, I used my Layering Circles Framelits to cut a a Bermuda Bay Glimmer circle frame, I used a scalloped circle and a smaller circle inside of the scallop to make the frame.  You can't tell from this picture, but the stamped image slips into the sparkly frame.  I used the same circle framelit to cut another circle from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and my 1 3/4"circle punch to cut the sentiment circle from Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment is from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set. I added a couple of Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the B and the Y in Birthday and I also tied a bow around the glimmer frame using Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon.

Here's a photo of the card open so you can see how the sentiment circle slips into the scalloped circle frame.  It also shows that I added a scrap piece of the same designer paper that I used on the front of the card to the inside of the card.  It measures 3/4" X 4". 

I think is a super fun and cute birthday card!  I hope you'll find a few minutes to give it a try!
