Birthday Blitz

Tuesday Jan 24th Classes - Birthday Blitz

We kicked off our card classes for the year on Tuesday, and made a lovely selection of 12 Stampin' Up ® cards that would suit any birthday. The designs also allow for any greeting to be swapped in to make them even more versatile.  The aim was to get a stash of cards ready for emergency birthdays!

There were four masculine birthday cards: we went for some brighter colours based on some retired DSP that was free during Sale-a-Bration last year.

You can use the colours in any combinations, and we used Basic Gray, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay, to coordinate with the DSP and keep the masculine theme.  The layout was pretty simple and some ladies changed up the designs with angles and landscape mode.

We made  four cards for children, using the "Animal Outing" stamps and Animal Expedition DSP

We used Stampin' Blends to colour the images.  These alcohol markers are a dream to colour with and the rich vibrant colours just popped the images against the cute DSP.  The card colours included Berry Burst, Pool Party, Pear Pizzazz and Shaded Spruce, which coordinate with the DSP.  There are a LOT of colours that coordinate with this one.

The DSP matches the stamps perfectly.  The Animal Friends Framelits that not only cut out the stamped images, but they also match many of the pictures on the DSP perfectly; a quick easy way to add images to your cards.

For the cards above we used the Stitched Shapes Framelits for the two white circles and the square.  Have you spotted the new the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits in the new 2019 Occasions Catalogue ?  There are 13 shapes in the set for $61 and one of the smaller rectangles was the perfect proportions for the giraffe.

The third set was for female birthdays, using the delicate "Wishing You Well" stamp set.

For these cards we used the In Colors - Blueberry Bushel, Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove and Call Me Clover (not pictured here!). We added a strip of the coordinating  In Color DSP.  This coordinates well with the cardstock, and gives another pop of colour to match the buds and bow on the card. Perfect coordination!

These 6 x 6" packs of DSP comes in each of the colour families.
