Miss Pinks Craft Spot

It's the middle of the week, time to catch up after busy past few birthday weeks. It was the Birthday Memories suite to the rescue for me when I have had to make so many male theme cards recently. This is such an amazing Suite, you are so spoilt for choice! and even more choice when you incorporate the Happy Birthday thinlet. What I love about this card is the happy cheerful colours, Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Pacific Point are such a vibrant combination - courtesy of the Birthday Memories Suite, and the pattern of the DSP is just fabulous.   I changed up the Happy Birthday die cut by snipping the words apart and adding the "special big five zero" in the middle raised up on mini dimensionals, finishing of with a strip of 1/4 in Stitched edge ribbon.

Lots of birthdays this month for family and friends, and double trouble as my husband is a twin!  I don't normally mixed so many sets together when making a card, but I it just happened this way when creating a card for my brother in law, but it does show how versatile Stampin' Up! products are, so easy to mix and match. I knew I wanted to use large numbers on the card (just so he was sure he knew was 50, hahaha), then I saw the Cat Punch - he has 2 cats, that's when things came together! I added the flag from Birthday Delivery , using the bone folder to curl and to give a 3D effect of it blowing in the breeze. The detail in the stamps in this set is amazing, and being photopolymer it is quite easy to line up the sentiment with the flag - I found stamping the sentiment first and then lining up the flag got me the best result. Likewise stamping the Cat faces was simple as the Spooky Cat set is also photopolymer. I wouldn't be without the Large Number...

I'm so excited to be part of the first Ink it! Stamp it! Blog Hop. This month we will be sharing "Celebration" themed projects, I'm sure you will be inspired by what we have to show you. My project was made as a special request, it took quite some time, but the end product is so worth it! The theme requested for this Birthday box was "Bling" and Turquoise - I had lots of fun with glittler!  I used lots of products completing this Birthday Box, I got quite carried away!  The Birthday Blast Stamp set and Star Blast thinlets worked a treat, and Birthday Bright had the perfect Celebrate sentiment. The Number of Years set is fabulous to personalise birthdays and anniversaries too. I couldn't believe how mammoth this was to create, but when you think about it, the inside of the box alone is 8 card fronts! I adore how the shading came out on the Balloons. Here's a close up of the stars in the centre piece I made litt...

Today 's card is very special to me, my daughter and I worked together with this creation for her grandfather - I'm so proud of her, she decided on design and colours for this card. The first thing that my daughter wanted to use was the Star Blast framelits , she liked the effect of the shooting stars - a bit like fireworks! She also liked the matching stamp set Birthday Blast for extra stars and swirls as well as the birthday sentiment. Next she decided on the colours - she like the dark blue of Dapper Denim and the bright Bermuda Bay, I suggested Pool Party to go with them and she said "that's epic" I set up the Bigshot sandwich for her and she cranked it through and cut them out.  Remember to keep the stars that are cut too, as you can see she used them to decorate the card.  I helped with the stamping, layering and gluing of the framelits. Once these parts were in place she added the stars, and there you have it - our card for he...

I love a shaker card, and I had the perfect reason to create this one! Happy 18th Cooper! The Balloon Pop-Up die can be used as it's name suggests - for a pop up in the middle of a card, but also makes a great panel that can be used for a shaker card; I "modified" the die cut removing the balloons so that I could add 18 to my card - Number of Years is such a great set to have on hand to be able to make a card for a specific occasion. As you can see it is the perfect panel to create a shaker card! I fussy cut the "Party On!" banner and mounted using dimensionals. I also stamped the inside of the card Both the Balloon Pop-Up thinlets and Balloon Adventures stamp set are part of the Party Animal product suite - it is such a fun and colourful suite! Thanks for visiting today, I hope you enjoyed viewing my project.  I would love to update you when I create a post! If you would like to receive an email from me when I do  Click Here . You ca...

Woot, Woot happy 100th Challenge What Will You Stamp? This week we are showcasing the Number of Years set - perfect for celebrations as you can use the numbers and sentiment to customise to your event! This stamp set also coordinates with the Large Number Framelits     My first thought was to make a 100 card for WWYS, then when I saw the flowers I changed my mind as I have a special birthday coming up soon, here is the card I have made: This stamp set has a lovely rustic feel with the images, I just love the effect on this card. I traced around the inside of the stitched framelit then stamped my foliage - the stamps being photopolymer makes this so easy, adding the flowers after each stamp of the foliage until I had completed my oval. I stamped off Perfect Plum once before stamping the flowers, and that just worked perfectly! Here is my colour combo: If you have the matching framelits for this stamp set you may be thinking how did I fit H...
