CASE the Catalog - February Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for February 2017. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes.  This month we are CASE’ing a project shown in a current Stampin’ Up! catalog. After all, with the Annual, Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs available right now, there is much inspiration from which to choose. We hope you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

Page 25 of the Annual Catalog has this beautiful card as one of the samples for Build A Birthday stamp set. I love how versatile this set is!! One of my favorite things about this card is that beautiful font that says Happy Birthday and the way the banner is attached to the top. I didn't tie it on like the sample, and I used a bow to make it prettier.

I used both the stamps and Designer Series Paper to build this cake. The cake plate is 3-D by stamping and cutting out just the plate part and popping it up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Thanks for visiting. To continue with the hop, please refer to the Blog Hop Line-up below. We hope to see you on next month’s Pals Blog Hop!

Birthday Wishes for FMS265

A truly girly, feminine, sparkly birthday card! I've gotten so into fall and Christmas that I've missed bright colors like Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay!

This card will be for a special person with a winter birthday! A little bit of bright color on a white background, perfect for winter.

I hope you enjoyed looking! Thank you for your visit--I hope you leave a comment!

Birthday Cake Greetings

 

I started this card by choosing the stamp set Build a Birthday. I haven't had a chance to use it much yet. I chose the colors for my cake layers and plate: Watermelon Wonder, Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo, Crushed Curry. 

After choosing stamp set and ink colors, it was a "piece of cake!" to finish my card. The sentiment "birthday wishes" is stamped in Basic Gray. I used an Elegant Eggplant Stampin' Write Marker to outline the scallops on the cake plate. I added a line of Basic Rhinestones to the plate edge as well just for fun!

I hope you enjoyed looking today! Won't you leave me a comment? I love knowing someone is actually reading/looking at my blog!
