Plaid, Masculine Birthday Card

I'm always on the lookout for fast & easy, but tasteful masculine cards! I was also looking for ways to use the balloons in the Arched Wishes stamp set that didn't require cutting the entire balloon out! I found this one that checked all the boxes! It uses one of the plaids from the Timeless Plaid DSP (still available in the Online Store), paired with the Arched Wishes stamp set! It's just perfect!

Measurements:

Cajun Craze: 1/2 sheet
Basic Black: 3" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 7/8" x 5 1/8" (1 inside and 1 outside)
Timeless Plaid DSP (OE): 1 1/4" x 5 3/8" (inside), scrap (balloons)

To Make this Card:

Remove 1" from front of folded Cajun Craze card base.
Adhere DSP strip to the "inside", and then one of the pieces of White butt up right next to it. The inside is done!
Take the other White piece and stamp the sentiment near the left side in Memento Black.
Then, stamp 2 of the balloons, as shown. (I used my Stamparatus, as the placement is a little tight.)
Mount onto Black piece and then add to front of card.
Next, stamp 2 "balloons" onto scraps of plaid, and fussy cut with paper snips. Adhere to stamped balloons, as shown.
Finish with scattered Faux Glass Dots.

Arches Wishes Party Balloons

I have been wanting to use the darling balloons from the Arched Wishes stamp set, but I couldn't figure out how to use them without fussy cutting them out! Well Stamp with Robin came to the rescue! She designed this cheerful birthday card using Daffodil Delight and Shy Shamrock and STAMPED balloons!! Yaayy! I just LOVE it! And, so did my stampers at my Senior Center class this week! This is a "keeper" for my monthly class as well!

Measurements:

Shy Shamrock: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" (arch)
Basic White: 1/4 sheet (embossed); 2 1/2" x 4" (front arch); 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" (inside arch)
Daffodil Delight: 2 7/8" x 4 1/8" (front arch); 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" (inside arch)

To Make This Card:

Run White quarter sheet through new, Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. After you run it through the folder, trim to 4" x 5 1/4" (I find it shrinks a little too much for my taste otherwise)
Take 17" of narrow Daffodil Satin Ribbon, and wrap around embossed piece, twice, as shown. Scotch tape to card front, then adhere to folded Shy Shamrock card (either side up).
Stamp 2 "balloons" onto front of White, front layer in Memento Black ink. I stamped the shorter one on the left, first, then the 2nd one.
Color with Blends.
Next, stamp the 2 "streamers" in the upper left edge as shown.
Layer all 3 layers together, and then attach to front of card, over ribbon, with Dimensionals.
For the inside, stamp desired sentiment in Shy Shamrock ink, along with scattered "confetti" in Daffodil Delight.
Then, adhere the 2 arched layers together and adhere to inside of card.
Finish front with scattered, retired Shy Shamrock Shimmer Gems.

Open Arch Birthday Card

I wanted to create a stepped up card using the layout of the card I did at the Senior Center Yesterday. I have previously used a similar layout in a trifold design. So, I modified that, and came up with this version! This one also uses the Beautiful Bokeh DSP, the Arched Wishes stamps, Everyday Arches Dies, but I added a touch of color using the retired Lighter Than Air DSP and Rainbow Dots. I am pleased with the results!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 2 pcs @ 2 7/8" x 4 1/8" (arches)
Balmy Blue: 3 1/8" x 4 1/2" (arch)
Beautiful Bokeh DSP: 4" x 5 1/4" (Balmy Blue)
Lighter than Air DSP (ret): 2" x 4 1/4", 1/2" x 2 5/8"

To Make This Card:

Adhere Balmy Blue Bokeh DSP to folded White card, making sure to add adhesive to the center area, too.
Die cut front, through both layers, with the 3 1/4" (width) Arch Die.
Now, take the arch you just removed and adhere it, through the opening, to the inside of the card.
Die cut 2 smaller arches from the White pieces. (use the arch that fits the cardstock piece).
Die cut the next larger arch die and cut one arch from the Balmy Blue cardstock.
Stamp the "cupcake" and sentiment onto one White arch.
Color in with any Blends as desired. The stripe DSP gives you many options. Add Wink of Stella to the "frosting" of the "cupcake".
Mount colored "cupcake" to the Balmy Blue arch.
Next, attach the stripe DSP to the outside, front edges.
Then, add the assembled arch to the DSP strip.
To finish the inside, center the inside White arch back Bokeh arch. Add strip of DSP.
Finish with scattered Rainbow Dots, and small Balmy Blue Bow.

Arched Wishes Cupcake

I love the images in this stamp set! They are clean, simple, and large!! The only draw back...there aren't coordinating dies! I created this simple version for my Senior Center ladies. They said they could always use birthday cards..couldn't we all!

Measurements:

Balmy Blue: 1/2 sheet,
Basic Black: 3 7/8"x 5 1/8"
Basic White:2 7/8" x 4 1/8" (arch), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Beautiful Bokeh DSP: 3 3/4" x 5", 1/2" x 4" strip (Balmy Blue)

To Make This Card:

Adhere Basic Black and DSP pieces to folded Balmy Blue card base.
Die cut arch from White.
Stamp "cupcake" and sentiment in Momento Black ink. Color with Blends as shown. I also stamped a "sparkle" over the "candle" in Daffodil Delight ink.
Add Wink of Stella to "frosting".
Attach arch to card front with Dimensionals.
Finish inside with layer of White and strip of DSP.
Finish front with narrow Balmy Blue bow, and scattered Balmy Blue Rhinestones (ret).
