Birthday Wishes

Hello! It's Monika here today, bringing you a birthday card... not just any birthday card, but the one I made for Korin, who celebrated her birthday last week. You might have seen it on the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Facebook page, but I didn't want you to miss this pretty number... so here it is again:

 

I used Kindness clear stamp set with the coordinating Kindness Flower/Cloves die set. The flowers were stamped on vellum with VersaMark ink, heat embossed with white embossing powder, then die-cut with the coordinating dies.

 

 

For the background, first I water colored the right side with purple ink, then I stamped one of the flowers from Long Stem Silhouettes clear stamp set with the same color. The greeting came from Birthday Innies clear stamp set. I also used a retired leaf die set for the leaves. Pearls and green thread finished off the card perfectly.

 

Thank you for stopping by,

Monika

 

 

Cherish God's Love

Good morning! 

 It's Cynthia and I'm back to share

 a little Sweet 'n Sassy inspiration with you.

I have been featuring the fabulous

silhouette stamp line from Sweet 'n Sassy

this month.  

Today I have a very clean and simple

birthday card using 

Landscape Silhouettes

and

Birthday Innies

I started with a circle mask and sponged various 

layers of Memento ink to create the water and sky.

Then the silhouette stamp was applied with Versafine

Black Ink.  Finally, the birthday sentiment was stamped

with Stampin' Up Going Gray classic ink.

I hope this inspires you to pull

out your Sweet 'n Sassy stamps and

play along!  

This week's challenge theme is

Fun at the Beach.

You can find all of the

details HERE.

Hope you have a great week!

Birthday Cupcake

Hello! It's Monika here today, bringing you a birthday card.

What a fabulous release we had this month. Did you have a chance to check out all the awesome stamps and dies?

One of my favorites are the Birthday Bash clear stamp set and coordinating Birthday Bash Die set.

I love the cupcake images and dies. They are so easy to use and you can mix 'n match them as you please.

On today's card, I stamped the bottom of the cupcake and die-cut the frosting and the 'muffin' part.

First I stamped the cupcake 'liner' on the tag... then I stamped the tag with Music Background clear stamp using VersaMark ink... and heat embossed it with clear powder. Next I sponged some light blue ink around the edges and spritzed dark blue ink on top. 

I really like the sweet tag dies (Mini Tags Die set) from the April release so I just had to through some tags on the card... as embellishments... 

With so many images to choose from, you can easily find something to stamp inside of the card. I used a sentiment from the brand new Birthday Innies clear stamp set along the balloons from the Birthday Bash set and another die-cut tag. 

The sketch came from The Sweet Stop, SSS205. Please stop by and see what the Sugar Babies came up with using the fun sketch this week. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Monika
