Happy Friday, Stampers! It’s Friday! Oh, Happy Day!! I have a workshop tomorrow for one of my favorite hostesses and Sunday is her birthday – so, today I’m sharing a birthday card with you!
This card is a z-fold. I started with a 11″ x 4.15″ piece of Daffodil Delight cardstock. I scored at 5.5″ and again at 2.75″. On one edge I used the scalloped edge punch to punch and right next to that I stamped lines from the Stampin’ Up! Chalk Lines stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink. For the inside of the card I used a 5.25″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock and a 1″ x 4″ piece of (retired) Birthday Basics designer series paper. I then used a matching 2″ x 4″ piece of DSP to place on the front of the card. (I’m sorry it’s retired – I try not to use retired stuff – I just have SO much of it! I am making cards to sell this holiday season to use it all up.)
The phrase Oh, Happy Day from the Stampin’ Up! Starburst Sayings stamp set was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock in Melon Mambo ink and then used the matching Starburst framelit. I then used the circle framelits to cut out a circle just a little larger than the starburst in Rich Razzleberry cardstock to place behind the starburst using dimensionals. I put snail adhesive on 1/2 of the circle so that it would adhere to the front of the card on the left and hang over the card on the right.
From this top view you get a better idea of how it’s folded. it’s really easy and can be done in all sorts of colors with any of the designer series papers we have in our current catalogs. I’ve done them in a variety of colors and DSPs, they are all super cute!
Did you know there was such a thing as World Card Making Day? Well – there is! What a perfect reason to join with card makers around the world to do what we love-make cards! Stampin’ Up! wouldn’t miss celebrating this unique holiday for anything. (Seriously, stampers missing World Card Making Day is like Santa missing Christmas!)
Stampin’ Up! is so excited – they are celebrating for a whole week! World Card Making Day celebrations will run from October 1-6 – Stampin’ Up! promises to make it worth our while! I’m already getting excited!!
I will be in Las Vegas that day as my sister in law gets married. My daughter is a brides maid and I’ll get to spend time with my son and his fiance’, who are getting married next May! It promises to be a super exciting weekend!
To celebrate World Card Making day and all the other fun stuff going on – I will be hosting an online party. Anyone who wants to participate should email me – I will be sending out materials via snail mail and sharing exclusive videos with those who are registered to attend. It promises to be fun – you won’t want to miss out! Email me NOW!
Happy Stamping,
