Happy Birthday! day 7 & 8

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Birthday! Day 7

 

 

 

Here is a few more items I have created. The first one is a soda favor, unfortunately I did not have straws so I used bamboo skewers. I made a rosette and added the Carousel horse stamped in Gumball Green, and the box I covered inside and out with the DSP, added a rosette and the Carousel horse is stamped in Peekaboo Peach. The card is a bit different. It is a latch card. StampinTexasChristi created this and I loved it. It is also a quick card to make.

 Sorry I am behind on my posting. With the loss of my Aunt it has been hard.

 

 

Happy Birthday! Day 8

 

Here are some party ideas. First there is two on here I did not create, they were gifts from Janet Wakeland (popcorn box with enjoy and the box with the circus tents that says for you.)

 

 

Here is a popcorn box I made, is this cute!! You could put candy, nuts, cotton candy and of course popcorn in it.

These cups I got from a web restaurant site ( I do not remember where), they are 4 oz and I also bought the lids. These are so stinking cute in reality!

I also created some mini bags and mini pouch sacks and these you make with 1 sheet of 6x6. The mini origami box is also made from 1 sheet of 6x6 and I saw this from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts youtube video.

Day 3 Happy Birthday!

These next 2 cards are quick and simple.

The first card is a gatefold card. I used So Saffron as the card base and it is 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" and scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8." I then added two panels to the front and they measure 4 x 1 7/8." I then added sequins, glued half of the label to one side and added a bow from the embellishment kit. I added a rhinestone to the bow. I then stamped "I love when your birthday comes around" in Early Espresso.

 

The second card is a corner fold card. Linda Bauwin did a video on this, just click her name to go to her YouTube channel. I used Bermuda Bay for the card base with Calypso Coral, So Saffron and Very Vanilla for the card front and then stamped the Carousel horse in Peekaboo Peach added some some sequins and a rhinestone to the top of the pole. Then added a tassel to the corner, next I stamped "Enjoy life and have fun" from the Suite Sentiments stamp set (# 142971) in Early Espresso.

 

 

 

For the inside of the gatefold card, I cut 2 pcs ( 1 at 3 3/4" x 5" Calypso Coral  and 1 at 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" Very Vanilla) of  cardstock of each color for the insert. I stamped the Ferris Wheel in Early Espresso and added a rhinestone in the middle and popped it up with dimensionals. I then stamped 2 Carousel horses, one in Peekaboo Peach and Real Red and I fussy cut them out and popped them up also. Finally on the right panel I stamped " Because spoiling you is so much fun" in Early Espresso.

For the inside of the corner fold card I cut 3 pcs of cardstock ( ( 1 at 5 1/4" x 4" Calypso Coral, 1 at 3 1/4" x 5 of So Saffron and Very Vanilla at 4 3/4" x 3 1/2"). I stamped the Ferris Wheel in Peekaboo Peach, once on the card and then on a scrap of copy paper. I cut out the one on the copy paper to make a mask. I placed it over the Ferris Wheel and then in Real Red stamped the Tents and popped it up with dimensionals. I made the banner from Pear Pizzazz and stamped " To someone who makes others so happy" from the Avant Garden stamp set ( a Sale-A-Bration item).

 



 

I hoped you enjoyed these cards. They are simple and quick.

On with the show!

 

 

This card is using Calypso Coral, So Saffron and Very Vanilla CS. I stamped the Ferris Wheel in Early Espresso and then stamped again on white copy paper. I cut the Ferris Wheel out and used it as a mask. I then stamped the tents in Peekaboo Peach. "I love when your Birthday comes around" is stamped in Bermuda Bay. I then used the coordinating thinlits from the  Up & Away dies (# 142748) to cut out the clouds and placed 3 in each corner of the card. I then punched out 6-1" circles and colored each one and placed behind each cloud.

On the inside of the card I stamped "because Spoiling You is so much fun" in calypso coral and Bermuda bay and added the calypso coral ribbon down the side.

Finally I created lights by Chibitronics so my Ferris Wheel would light up!

Isn't that so cool!!!
