Birthday Card Idea - Loads of Love

Need a birthday card idea for a male?  What about using the Stampin Up stamp set, Loads of Love, along with Loads of Love Accessories, and the Tailgating Wheel?  I love these products, just as so many others do.  This set has been around for several years, and I hope Stampin Up continues to include it in its catalog.

I made this birthday card for my son-in-law.  He has a very unique way with animals, so I thought the Loads of Love stamp set and the accessories were perfect for his birthday card.  

I think the card is so "stinking" cute!  I had a lot of fun making it.  The card features the stamping technique, water coloring. 

Water coloring and brayering are so much fun!  If you've steered away from these techniques, you are missing out on a lot of fun.  They are real art!

Other Stampin Up products used are: Lovely as a Tree stamp set (appropriately named); Watercolor Paper; Whisper White, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Rich Razzleberry, and Pear Pizzazz card stock and various inks; Moonlight (for the headlight and windshield) and Silver Fox Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink (for the hubcaps and bumper of the truck); Round Tab Punch; and the Aqua Painter.

Come back to see beautiful paper crafts using the Spring is Blossoming, Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper that becomes available on April 1.

Blessings!

BIRTHDAY CARD IDEA

Looking for a Birthday Card idea?  This Birthday Card is one you can make for a special female.  This Stampin Up card is one I made for my daughter's birthday.  It features the Stampin Up colors, Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry, which go together beautifully. 

I used the Stampin Up Designer Series Paper (DSP), Springtime Vintage, for the primary layer of the card.  I love this DSP, and will be sad when it goes away at the end of the month (crossing my fingers that it will be a carryover).  I turned up the lower-right side of the DSP to display both sides as they are equally beautiful.  Purchase Springtime Vintage before March 31!

This Birthday Card features four Stampin Up stamp sets:  Fifth Avenue Floral, You're a Gem, Clearly for You, and Curly Cute.  I used the water coloring technique on the Rich Razzleberry flower from the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set.  The Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron Classic Stampin' Inks were used for the center of the flower.  I really like how it turned out.  

Other Stampin Up products used for this greeting card are:

Curly Label Punch, Trinket Crowns, Basic Rhinestones Jewel Accents, Rich Razzleberry Taffeta Ribbon, and Linen Thread.

As usual, buy the Stampin Up products by placing your cursor over the blue links.  You'll be taken directly to the product.

God's Blessings!

BUILD A BLOSSOM - CRYSTAL FOUNTAIN CLEMATIS

 (CHECK OUT MY NEW WEBSITE: STAMPINGWITHGUNEAUXDESIGNS.COM)

Looking for a birthday card idea?  Here is one for a special female.  If you haven't, I strongly recommend you purchase the wonderful    Blossom Petals Punch before Sale-a-Bration ends.  It is like the Petal Cone Bigz Die; very versatile and your use of it is limited only by your imagination.  Many Stampin' Up! Demonstrators and customers are thoroughly enjoying this punch.  Today's project features this punch and a Crystal Fountain Clematis (see picture below).  Yes, it's pink, Pretty in Pink, that is!  Remember, only your imagination is your limitation?  Well, I wanted a pink Clematis to match my second card layer, Lap of Luxary Designer Series Paper, so I created one.  I created it with seven of the punch's small blossoms, which I spritzed with the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz.  I made the Concord Crush stamen of the Clematis with many of the smallest leaf from the Blossom Petals Punch.  Using the Stampin' Up! Paper Snips, I cut the leaves into thin strips, ensuring I didn't cut completely through the edge.  

I made the Pear Pizzazz and So Saffron stamen by (1) cutting two small, narrow strips of each card stock, with the So Saffron shorter than the Pear Pizzazz; (2) cutting the pieces into thin strips, which were cut only to the edge; and (3) rolling them up with the So Saffron in the middle of the Pear Pizzazz.  Using the Crop-A-Dile, I punched a medium-sized hole in the center of the pink and purple parts of the flower, inserted these two rolled-up strips, and glued them together on the back side.  The leaves of the flower were made with the punch and Always Artichoke card stock.

I used a Happy Birthday stamp in the Bring on the Cake stamp set to stamp the sentiment on Pretty in Pink card stock.  The sentiment is encased with the largest of the Beveled Windowpanes,  and attached to the card with  Concord Crush Stitched Poly Ribbon.  I embellished the card with Pretty in Pink Flower Brads, Subtles Collection.

What do you think of this one? 

Don't forget, purchase the Blossom Petals Punch before Sale-a-Bration ends!
