Welcome to the December Pals Hop! This month we are featuring Birthday-themed cards and projects. Please enjoy all of the amazing creations that the Pals have come up with!
You've likely hopped over from Benjamin Turner at He Stamps, I'm stop number 1 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in. I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for Birthday paper projects from the Stampin' Pretty Pals. Should you hop off the course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you'll be back on track!
My first card is meant to be a masculine birthday card, but you could easily give it to anyone on their birthday. The card base is Cajun Craze card stock and the first layer is More Mustard embossed with the Lines Embossing Folder. I lifted the third sentiment, stamped on Very Vanilla card stock using Stampin' Dimensionals, and I colored in the top and bottom frosting with my Cajun Craze Stampin' Write marker. The designer buttons across the top almost look like flames for my sentiment "candles" which are totally in the birthday theme!
I decided I needed to re-create my original card and glam it up for a girl! I used the colors Regal Rose and Melon Mambo. For the background, I added texture with the Snowburst Embossing folder and decided to show a little. more of the texture than I did on the above card. I also added the very feminine Eyelet Border at the top of my Whisper White piece of card stock.
For a bit of bling, I colored some Basic Pearls using a Red Sharpie. The color is just right to match my hand-drawn hearts on the popped up sentiment/cake--do you see them? I also used the same Real Red Stampin' Write marker to make stripes on the candles.
