Stampin' Pink Rose

Collar Card Fold Video

Today is a Card Fold is Friday and I have a card that is simple to make. This card is great because it is so versitile and works for any age or sex because it depends on how you decorate it. Just watch the video and learn how to create a Collar Card.

This Collar is showing the more femine side with the flower from Crazy About You Stamp Set. With the colorful flower paper, the flower in Calyspo Coral gives a perfect accent to this card.

I have included pictures of some different cards with a variety of stamps. The first uses the Balloon Adventure and the punch. This one would be perfect for a child’s birthday. The second card is a man’s card using Guy Greetings stamp set.

I posted on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/stampinpinkrose/ another card that uses the collar technique.

Birthday Announcement for Paper Player’s Challenge

It is time for me to post a Paper Player’s Challenge. This time the challenge is presented by Laurie Schmidt and the focuses is on where we place the sentiment on our card. The idea is to make the sentiment the focus point on the card. This leaves us wide open on the stamp set we want to use and Stampin’ Up! has plenty of stamp sets with words to choose from. However, I decided to use a simple, but beautiful partial script birthday words. Yet, this card screams it is time to celebrate your birthday. Then to finish it off I used the Peekaboo Peach Ribbon to tie with the Peekaboo Peach card stock that is the base. However, I felt it needed additional color with the Peekaboo Peach. So I added the Watermelon Wonder which ends up complimenting each other because there is a contrast with a lighter and darker color.

Tips and Tricks

Balloon Adventures Stamp Set: The beautiful balloons offers balloons with patterns to stamp in the colors of your choice. I chose to make it cheery card using Tangerine Tango, Peekaboo Peach, and Watermelon Wonder. This makes the card scream happy birthday with the reminder “It’s Your birthday.” I used the oval to direct your eye to the words.
