This week's Blogger's Challenge was to make a Birthday card. Before I get to the details of the card, guess what? Lisa and Gerrie are both celebrating birthdays this week. Happy Birthday, Girls!!! I consider both of these talented ladies good friends and if you appreciate the inspiration they provide to the stamping community as much as I do, drop by their blogs and wish them a happy day (both are offering blog candy this week, too!).Now, back to the card...
My card uses a new Paisley Cuttlebug folder (did I mention that I am flying high with 9 - yup nine - new Cuttlebug folders?) on the Aged Metal technique from the February issue of the Technique Junkie Newsletter. If you missed the news, Betsy Griffin has some of the Shimmer Sheetz in stock on the Innovative Stamp Creations website! If you are a TJer, you know these have been in short supply, so RUN (or click really, really fast) over to her website and order up some!
The stamps on this card are Stampin' Up!'s Birthday Whimsy, and one of the greetings from the big Block Party set. If you are familiar with this set, you know it was originally 3 stamps, with 11 or so individual greetings. I thought that was a waste of good greetings : ) so I simply ordered the matching block set from The Block Guy and mounted them separately.
With all the sets I have been doing this with, I have a TON of cool greetings : ) I know I have been telling you about the Block Guy alot, but when I get something new, I tend to use it, KWIM? You are just seeing me stamp with what I have : )
Okay, here are the full details for the ingredients for this card:Stamps: Stampin' Up!: Block Party, Whimsy Wheel, Birthday Whimsy
Ink: Pink Passion, Chocolate Chip, Timber Brown StazOn
Other: Pretty in Pink & chocolate Chip Markers, Stickles, Assorted Primas (stacked together), Paisly Cuttlebug folder, Corrugated Cuttlebug folder, Doodlebug Designs Paper, White Paper
