Showing posts with label Birthday

I wanted to share my son's birthday card. He is in Naval flight training, and we couldn't be any more proud of him. I always find masculine cards a little more challenging, and I also didn't want his navy buddies making fun of a birthday card he got from his mom! :))  So there was my challenge! I used a couple different stamp sets to make this card. I used Cottage Greetings and Project Life Let's Get Away stamp set,   I really love the way it turned out! I honestly think he will love it and his buddies will think it's cool! See what you think!



Is that fun?? I love how the plane is writing Happy Birthday!!  Cute...and masculine right??



When I showed this card to my husband, he thought Ryan would LOVE it! I used the Little Numbers to cut the '23' out!  The map paper in the background is perfect for this card!! That paper is from the Typeset Designer Series Paper. The red anchor paper is on clearance right now. It's called Maritime Designer Series paper, it is full of some fun paper!! Later this week (on Wednesday) I will share a scrapbook page I made with this paper.



How great is that for the inside of the card!! Oh I did the happy dance!!!!

I hope you enjoyed this card....more importantly I hope I get a big thumbs up from my son!!

I wanted to share this Birthday Bash scrapbook page I made. I love the colors and the energy!! It's a good birthday page for a boy or girl, so that makes it awesome! I used the stamp set  Celebrate Today and the Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper!! Together they are fun, and make the cutest birthday stuff!!

Here's the sketch I used to make this scrapbook:

Here's my scrapbook page:







Don't you just LOVE the colors?? It is so pretty and fun in person!!



Here's a closer look at the first page:






On the first page, I clustered a couple balloons, each one I made a little different. The balloons are SUPER easy to make with the Balloon Framelits die that coordinate perfectly with this stamp set! So for the lighter balloon I stamped in Bermuda Bay ink on pool party and cut it out. The other two I simply just cut one out of Bermuda Bay and one out of Night of Navy. The Bermuda Bay balloon I added a gold banner the was easy-peasy with the Balloon Framelits die. Have you seen these??




Here are the framelit dies:


Balloon Framelits Dies by Stampin' Up!









Do you see how easy they coordinate, they can be purchased individually or as a bundle. All the info is at the bottom of this post. Let's get back to this fun page.






To attach the balloon strings I used a glue dot and finished it off with a bow cut from the Gold Foil paper. I used hints of gold, like the strip on the side, also the confetti paper has little flecks of gold in it, I hope you can see that. I also wanted to point out along the bottom I stamped using versamark  to add some interest. Versamark will make any color stamp darker, like a watermark, subtle.








I used the Hello You Thinlits to make the Happy, it's just screams fun!!!! I also used Versamark on the top of the page too, I just think it adds depth and subtle interest. Your eye may not catch it, but when it's left off it somehow feels blank.



Here's the 2nd page:






Pretty cute huh?? I really just loved how this turned out.






For the BIRTHDAY, I used the Perfect Print Alphabet Bigz dies. I had some fun with this title!! I used the negative (the part you would throw away) for the "T" and the "A", and wow... did you notice the "I" ?  I used a scrap from the Birthday Bash confetti paper and the 'flame' on top I used on the the banners from the Balloon Bash framelits. FUN!! FUN!!






I finished off this page with balloons in the corner, similar to the first page. Whenever I design a page, I try and stick to elements is odd numbers, so I have a total of 5 balloons on this 2 -page layout! In design they always emphasis odd numbers for balance.

Have a great day! Thank you for stopping by today, I haven't blogged in a couple days., life threw me a curve ball last week. It's amazing how cutting paper and creating something cheers you up!! So I hope you like this and feel inspired!!
