With all the gloomy, rainy days we had over Memorial Day, this Stampin’ Up! paper was a breath of fresh air. It is brand NEW Stampin’ Up! paper in the NEW CATALOG. It is colorful, but you can tone it down by using Blackberry Bliss or brighten it up by using Tempting Turquoise.
The stamps I chose were Cupcake Party and Remembering Your Birthday. The later was used for the greeting. This card has no sentiment because of the style. Let us get started and learn how to make this unique card.
- Cut Blackberry Bliss cardstock 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and fold at 4 1/4″ (base)
2. On one side of folded cardstock you will need to cut down 1 1/4″ on the fold and across so there is a flap. This will leave 1 1/4″ open so the white cardstock will show once adhered. See picture.
3. Using the 1 3/4″ punch, punch a half circle out of the Blackberry Bliss cardstock.
4. You will need to pencil mark the placement of the cupcake.
5. Cut Whisper White cardstock 4″ x 5″ (inside of card)
6. Stamp the cupcake with the Stampin’ Up! Cupcake Party in Delightful Dijon for the top and for the base use your Blackberry Bliss and a black maker to color it. The circles are done in Blackberry Bliss.
7. Add the candle which is colored with marker in Blackberry Bliss and Delightful Dijon for the flame.
8. Stamp the Happy Birthday with the Delightful Dijon on the left.
9. Adhere to the Blackberry Bliss card (base).
10. Add two banners on the flap part of the Blackberry Bliss. I used the NEW Bohemian Designer Series paper. The banners measure 1 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ in the patterned paper and 1″ x 3″. Adhere. Note the pattern paper is on the bottom and the dot paper is on top.
I am giving you a sneak peak on another card from Bohemian Designer series paper. I will be giving you the instructions next week.
So think about putting this on your Wish List. In fact, Mary Fish (part of my downline) came up with this Wish List to help you
