Happy Birthday For Freshly Made Sketches

Here is my design for the weekly challenge at Freshly Made Sketches!!

https://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com

This is the layout sketch I had to follow.








Here is my card!

I think this is the first time I have ever used Mango Melody Card Stock!! I love it paired with the Bermuda Bay Card Stock!!! Bright and happy!!

The card base is Bermuda Bay. I die cut 2 pieces of the Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits and adhered to the card. I then die cut out "Happy" and "Birthday" in Mango Melody using the Well Written Dies and again in black fun foam to give the words some "lift"! Using black fun foam also creates a nice shadow effect. Glue to the card using Multipurpose Glue.

I punched out a Mango Melody Balloon with the Balloon Bouquet Punch, added some Whisper White Bakers Twine to the back using a Glue Dot and attached it to the card with a few Dimensionals. 

Simple and no stamping!! 

I hope you enjoyed today's bright and cheery card! 
Stay safe, Happy Stamping and Creating!

Snow Day!!! ❆ ❄ ❅ ❄

It's a snow day here today in the Lower Mainland of Vancouver! Most schools are closed, happy kids!!!

Here is a cheery card to brighten this cold ⛄ day!

I used the New Painted Poppies Stamp Set. I stamped the poppies using Memento Black Ink and coloured them in with Poppy Parade and Pear Pizzazz Stampin' Blends. I also did a light watercolour wash on the art layer with my Aqua Painter and Pool Party Ink. Very lightly and very little water as it is only Whisper White Card Stock and not watercolour paper. This is a fun fold card, the Poppy Parade is cut 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2, the one scored panel is folded back onto its self, then the front panel pieces (2 3/4 X 4 1/4, layer is 4 1/2 X 3) are attached only on the left hand side of the card using dimensionals. The sentiment is from Sending You Thoughts, a freebie from Sale-A-Bration!! I added a double White Bakers Twine bow on the end. The Designer Series Paper on the left side panel is Peaceful Poppies DSP, so pretty!!  

On the inside, I stamped another sentiment from Sending You Thoughts and I also stamped another Poppy and coloured it in with my Blends.

Hope you like todays cheerful Poppy fun fold card!!


Happy Stamping and Creating!
