Celebrate Today with Balloon Framelits using Global Design Project #024 Birthday Card with VIDEO

I am seeing a challenge on my team page to used balloons in a card for March and I got a jump ahead on my sample using the Global Design Project #024 Case the Designer

I started this card knowing I wanted to use Balloons and went to my Celebrate Today stamp set and matching Balloon Framelits that you buy as a bundle and save 15%. Next I looked through the Cherry On Top paper Stack and chose this pretty Pool Party pattern that mimicked the effect I wanted on the balloon. I then looked at the colours in the paper stack and decided to use Watermelon Wonder as my pop colour so I took a scrap and trimmed to to the desired sized and stamped the banner from the stamp set in Versamark Ink. Next I took the Happy and Birthday stamps and stamped then on a scrap of Whisper White in Watermelon Wonder and Bermuda Bay. The solid balloon is stamped in Pool Party and the streamer and balloon accents are stamped in Bermuda Bay. I cut both these pieces out using the Balloon Framelits and Magnetic Plate with the Big Shot and set them aside. To finish the Watermelon Wonder piece I added 2 strips of the NEW Sale-a-Bration Metallic Glitter Tape to the top and bottom and added the Happy Birthday Piece. I adhered the patterned paper to a piece of Whisper White and then to a Tip Top Taupe card base. Added the Watermelon Wonder Piece and the balloon and streamer on top with Stampin' Dimensionals. To add the final finishing touch I added some silver sequins. 

You can watch how I made this card on Periscope till 4pm 29th February or Katch anytime.

The sentiment from Party with Cake is stamped with Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla card stock. I adhered the glassine onto the  Delightful Dijon card base with a few small tabs of Fast Fuze adhesive on the card base. It won't show through too much this way. The paper pieces were all edged with Sahara Sand Ink and adhered to the card ready to send out to make someone's birthday special.

Rose Wonder Stamp Watercolour Card with VIDEO

I have a video to go with this Rose Wonder card today. I made this on the weekend as part of my Stamp-a-Stack class

So I have started making some live Videos using Periscope which is live video streaming app for your smart phone. You can find me under my user name ellenwoodbridge the videos are available for 24 hours. I am also using another web service called Katch that keeps all my videos even after the 24 hour live period. I really hope you can catch one of my video live if not on replay on the Periscope app or on Katch

So onto todays Card. You can watch how I painted this flower on Periscope or Katch

I started with a piece of watercolour paper. I then look the Rose Wonder Stamp and two Stampin' Write Markers Old Olive and Blackberry Bliss and coloured the stamp with the brush end and stamped it onto the watercolour paper using a Stampin Pierce Mat under the paper to ensure a great stamped image. Next using an Aqua Painter Brush that is nearly damp I coloured the flowers and leaves drawing the ink from the coloured lines of the image. If you use too much water your lines will disappear. ASK ME HOW!!!! Also make sure to scribble the colour off the brush between the colours. While that was drying I took the sentiment from the same set and stamped it with Basic Black Archival Ink. To add some sparkle to the flower I took the clear Wink of Stella Brush and drew over all the lines of the flower and leaves. I attached the watercolour piece to a Blackberry Bliss card base and a finishing touch of Pool Party Glitter ribbon to match the sparkle on the flower.

From today till the 29th of February for all online orders using the Hostess Code : 7MSY6UTY you will receive a FREE GIFT from me you can see some of them in the video above.

Rose Wonder Stamp and Rose Wonder Thinlits with Typeset Paper Birthday card

Time for a softer birthday card today using the Rose Wonder Stamp and Rose Garden Bundle from the 2016 Occasion Catalogue.

To make this card I started by cutting the largest flower and leaves from the Rose Garden Thinlits with Whisper White card stock and the Label using Very Vanilla card stock. I sponged the flower lightly with Watermelon Wonder using a small wedge of our Stampin Sponges purposely leaving it uneven to give interest. I sponged the leaves with Wild Wasabi and set it aside. I stamped the label die cut next using Tip Top Taupe for the outline, Mint Macron for the Happy Birthday and Watermelon Wonder for the flowers using the Rose Wonder Stamp Set. To build the card base used Thick Whisper White card stock and covered the whole card front with a piece of Typeset Speciality Paper. Next I adhered the sponged flower using the Fine Tip Glue Pen and the Label with Stampin' Dimensionals. For a finishing touch I added a length of Mint Macron Dotted Lace Ribbon tied to the top of the card.

To start the card I chose a piece of the beautiful foiled Shine On Speciality Paper and trimmed to to card front size and a piece of Gold Foiled cut slightly smaller than a card front and cut the both with the Starburst Thinlits in the Big Shot using the Magnetic Platform. I then arranged and adhered them both to a Pool Party card base.

Party Pop-Up Thinlits with It's My Party Paper Birthday Card

Today is my 5th Anniversary or Stampaversary as a Demonstrator with Stampin' Up! so let's celebrate with a birthday card.

To start this card I took two pieces of It's My Party Paper Paper and adhered them to a Thick Whisper White Card base. Next I cut a Party Pop-Up Thinlits with the Big Shot and Precision Plate in Basic Black and then used the Big Shot Die Brush to remove most of the interior pierced from the die cut. Then I trimmed it along the score lines to make it a separate piece and adhered it to patterned paper. I had previously saved the inside pieces from a Whisper White Party Pop-Ups Thinlits I inked these pieces with Melon Mambo, Mint Macron and Crushed Curry and adhered them inside the Basic Black piece. To add some pop and shimmer to the streamers and confetti I added a touch of Wink Of Stella. To finish of the card I added some It's my Party Enamel Dots and Melon Mambo and Black Baker's Twine.
