Tropical Chic Birthday Cards
Hi stampin’ friends! How would you like a card design that works for both masculine and feminine birthday cards? I’ve got just the one. Not only is it easy to create several at a time, but you’ll have sooo much fun making them! Turn on your favorite beach tunes and get ready to craft!
If you’re a fan of quick and easy- with NO COLORING- this is the set for you! These solid image stamps plus your ink pad are all you need. But what if you want to play a bit? I’ve got a simple coloring technique for you that steps it up a notch.
For these cards, stamp the three leaves from the stamp set to create the “frame of foliage” with the Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide Classic Stampin’ Pads, then die-cut with the RECTANGLE STITCHED FRAMELITS DIES. The feminine card includes the hibiscus flower accent. Here’s how to step it up with this fun coloring technique:
Time to add the HAPPY BIRTHDAY Thinlits Die. I love this one for it’s instant POP and year-round use! It fills a card front and when you use it with the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets*, your die cuts become a sticker. It doesn’t get any easier than peel, stick and DONE! *Details on the right way to use this specialty adhesive in next week’s Newsletter (subscribe for free HERE).
These fabulous colors are on the short-list for retirement. You’ll want to grab these pronto, because when the official retiring list for this year’s catalogs is announced to Demonstrator’s next week, they become H*O*T commodities that typically sell out quickly. More on retiring color-matched products coming later this week!
Here’s a close-up of the masculine version with Fresh Fig Cardstock used for the accent layer and “Happy Birthday” die-cut. Last touch: add a few Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins!
Here’s a look at the inside of both cards. The sentiment for the masculine card (above) is stamped with the color-matched Fresh Fig Classic Stampin’ Pad from the LABELS TO LOVE Stamp Set.
The feminine sentiment (below) is from the NEEDLE & THREAD stamp set, stamped in matching Berry Burst ink.
