Happy Birthday

Thank the Lord for good friends and today’s card was created by one of my dear friends, Laura Rossmann. Thanks Laura for helping me out during this most difficult time.

Laura’s card-Artistically Inked Happy Birthday

Directions for Laura

I began with a Basic White card base and added the Artistically Inked DSP. On the 4 ¼ by 2 ½ Basic White CS, I stamped the large flower, two small flowers, and two leaves in the Staz On black ink. Then using the small Water Painters, I colored in the large flower using Poppy Parade, the leaves using Pear Pizzazz, and the tips of the smaller flowers using Calypso Coral and fussy cut the whole group.  I adhered thisto thee Artistically Inked DSP with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I then colored all of the flowers and leaves using the Wink of Stella.After wiping the Basic Black CS strip with the Embossing Buddy, I stamped the Happy Birthday with Versamark Ink, then heat embossed with White Stampin’ Embossing Powder.  I adhered the sentiment strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Today I am featuring two bundles that are in the January -June 2022 mini catalog. Both of these bundles will be retiring in June.

I began with a Soft Succulent card base and added a layer of Petal Pink. The leaves are stamped with Soft Succulent ink and the flowers with Petal Pink. And yes, I fussy cut the flowers and leaves using my Paper Snips.

The greeting is from Artfully Layered and I stamped it on some Basic White cardstock using Memento Black ink and then punched it out with the Everyday Label punch. Oh man am I ever going to miss this punch!

Project Supplies and Measurements

• Soft Succulent CS- 5½ x 8½ (card base),

I love how this card turned out. At first I was not really a fan of the Petal Pink cardstock and ink, but the more I use it the more I love it, especially when it is paired with Soft Succulent. I hope today’s card inspires you to bless others with your creativity.

Here in St. Louis, the weather is beginning to warm up, so I thought I would share a summer like card with you. My card today begins with a Cinnamon Cider card base and features the stamps in the Seas the Day Bundle found in the January – June mini catalog. I added a layer of Balmy Blue to compliment the water.

To create the sand and water scene I used our Blending Brushes, Cinnamon Cider and Crumb Cake ink for the sand and a light layer of Pacific Point Blue for the water. The fish and crab are stamped in Calypso Coral and the starfish in Bumblebee.

I added a little greenery with Mossy Meadow and also stamped the greeting in Mossy Meadow. The happy birthday is from Artistically Inked. This is such a great bundle with so many possibilities. I hope this card gets you in the mood for summer.

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae
