Stampin’Up! Big On You and Celebrate Today!

Posted on April 25, 2015 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I have a few cards created with the same layout but different colors for you today. All were created with the Big on You and Celebrate Today stamp sets from the Occasions catalog.

First, I received this card in the swap a few months ago. I had put it on my display board and one of my hostess' for this month requested to make a card similar to it. This card uses a Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, and Daffodil Delight color scheme and was created by Cindy Ewertz:

Inside Cindy's card:

I tried out a couple of other color combos with this same layout. Here's Night of Navy, Real Red, and Whisper White:

I used Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine to "tie" the twine to the balloon string.

Inside I dressed up the banner a bit more than the original using my Real Red and Night of Navy Stampin' Write Markers.

The class next week is already making the Real Red & Night of Navy Sea Street I posted HERE, so I went with Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango, and Whisper White:

I used the "HAPPY" balloon stamp from the Celebrate Today set, stamped with Tangerine Tango. All the rest of the stamping is Pacific Point, except for the polka-dots on the balloon which are Daffodil Delight.

To highlight the polka-dots, we will be adding Crystal Effects to them. They take awhile to dry so I've come up with a way to help speed-up this process. I stamped the polka dots on plain white paper, covered it with a piece of waxed paper, then used the dots as my guide to add dollops of Crystal Effects over the dots. I've let them dry overnight and now they will be ready to add to the balloons with glue dots when we have the class next week!

Inside I used the same stamp-to-paper technique for the banner and the sentiment. I used my Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango Stampin' Write Markers:

We will line the envelope with a bit of Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Paper, cut with the Envelope Liner Thinlet Die.
