Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #3! Summer Starfruit?

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #3! Summer Starfruit?

Posted on by Carol Payne

For today's "Best of Birthdays" Class card, "you're the icing on the cake!" stamp and Sycamore Street Designer Paper:

Badge 1

We used a quirked version of the "split negative" technique for the focal image, which was very easy to do. Just stamp image once on Whisper White, punch with 1 1/4" Circle Punch, then stamp again on Tangerine Tango and again on Island Indigo. Punch both with 1" Circle Punch, cut one cirle in half, then layer just half of it onto other full 1" circle to re-complete the image and you are done! Inside, phrases from the current Hostess-exclusive set, "Wacky Wishes":

I have a confession to make, I really, really don't like Summer Starfruit, at least not whole layers of it. The card I'm going to show you tomorrow has a teeny-tiny little strip of it as an accent, which I can handle, but no matter how card I try, such as with this card, I just cannot like it. I'm sorry!

But you know, that's why Stampin' Up! has so many colors to choose from in their color palette, so there is something for everyone! I love this Company!

For those of you who would like a little more info for this card, here's the class handout you can download:

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #2!

Stampin’ Up! Best of Birthdays Card #2!

Posted on by Carol Payne

Today we have the second card in the "Best of Birthdays" series, an olde-but-goodie birthday candle card!

Celebrate 1©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

The white-embossed "CELEBRATE!" is the Best of Birthdays stamp used. Summer Smooches is the Designer Paper used and the candle flames are punched with the Blossom Petals Builder Punch. I dry embossed the Pacific Point background layer with the Houndstooth Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. After the card was all finished I added a very thin layer of Clear Dazzling Details to the flames and let the card lay flat to dry for several minutes. I like the way the Dazzling Details made the flames curl and gave it a little more dimension!

Here's the inside:

I used Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers on this second image from "Best of Birthdays" before stamping.

Here's the class handout for this card:


Download A Candle for Every Year

The February installment of the "Best of . . " Series will be announced today! I can't wait to see and order it! I am offering a class every month using that month's set. Attendees get a $5 discount off the class fee when they order any of the "Best of. ." sets at the class.

On a family note: today we are off to take Ben, our youngest son, to the Oral Surgeon for a consult to remove two EXTRA teeth! We've known for a few years he had an extra top left and extra lower right tooth, but we were just leaving them be unless they created a problem. You guessed it! There is now a problem as the top one had started to come through in the roof of his mouth! A panoramic x-ray revealed the lower one is also "on the move", so we go today for the consult, then in two weeks he is scheduled to have both teeth removed. We will be glad to have this behind us!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Hope your day "Stampingrox"!
