Happy Birthday!

I wanted to use the same DSP that I used on the card yesterday but use it for a non-Halloween card.  I always need multiple uses besides a specific holiday for DSP.  I was still using the spritzers also.  Here's the card I came up with.

I spritzed the Very Vanilla CS just a bit with the Tangerine Tango reinker mixed with rubbing alcohol just to add a bit of color.  I stamped the greeting in Basic Black, filled in the bubble letters with the Tangerine Tango marker, and added Crystal Effects to the tops of the letters.  I also added Crystal Effects to the Tangerine Tango stripe on the DSP.  Quick and simple!  Order your supplies here.

Cardstock:  Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP

Ink:  Tangerine Tango, Basic Black

Stamps:  Bring On the Cake

Accessories:  Crystal Effects, Stampin' Spritzer

Pink Thank You

This is also a swap card from our demo meeting.  I love the pink shades this demo used on her card.  So clean and crisp!  The centers of the flowers are raised.  I would assume she added crystal effects with glitter.  Perfect addition to this card!  I love the "out of the box" idea for the center flowers...they are a square stamp (For All You Do stamp set) and to punch them out w/ a circle is PERFECT!!!

More Glittery Flowers

Yesterday Emily came over to create some more birthday cards. She wanted to do more glittery flower cards so we came up with this card. I really like how this turned out with the eyelet border punch.

Super Alan!

Our friend, Alan, had a birthday party over the weekend. He's very into super heros so I figured he needed an "A" card...like Superman always has a "S." I ran a piece of raw chipboard through the Big Shot with the Serif Alphabet to get my "A." Then I mixed crystal effects and a few drops of Basic Black ink, painted it on the chipboard, and then topped it off with glitter. It turned out well...so glad this technique works on chipboard, too! I see myself using this technique a lot! Hope you had a great day, Alan!
