Cheers on Your Birthday

Here is another of the cards we made at my Masculine Stamp-a-Stack. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set, Happy Hour. It's so versatile... who doesn't like a cocktail now and again? It works for celebration cards, birthday cards, and just for fun! This time I used it to make a simple, fun Birthday card that would also work for a guy. To make it "guy-friendly" I used colors that looked a little more masculine, Cajun Craze and Summer Starfruit, along with the ever popular Crumb cake. I paired it with a little piece of designer paper from the Comfort Cafe paper pack. 

Here's a close-up:

Open Sea

Here is one of the cards we're making at my "Masculine Stamp-a-Stack" tonight. I love how this card turned out... the color combo is a little different than I've tried before and I really like it. I used the Anchor stamp from the Open Sea stamp set to make a background image. Then I cut out some layers using the framelits dies in the big shot (labels collection) and made a simple thank you card with the ship. The bakers twine adds a little more nautical feel too. This would also be a great birthday card -- just change the sentiment!

stamps: Open Sea, Fabulous Phrases

ink:Early Espresso, Cajun Craze

paper: Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Not Quite Navy

big shot: Framelits dies (labels)

other: Bakers Twine (early espresso)

Here's To You!

Here is another card using the set Clockworks. This is another simple card, just a few basic colors and layers make it quick and easy. I love the color combo I tried on this one- Gumball Green and Midnight muse with my favorite neutral-- Crumb Cake. I think I could use crumb cake on nearly every card... it works with so many colors!! I also used the new Chevron embossing folder on this one. This would be a great guy card for a birthday or any celebration.

Retro Cheers!

Doesn't this color combo look retro? That wasn't my intention when I designed this card but it definitely turned out that way! I think it goes well with the stylized cocktail images, don't you?  I've been on a roll of making super simple cards lately... Sometimes I get carried away with adding on too much stuff so it's feeling very refreshing to do some simple cards! I used the new Fancy fan embossing folder on this card and if you look closely, you can see it really coordinates with the patterns in the drinks! How cool is that? 

stamps:  Happy Hour

Cheers to you!

One of my favorite sets in the new Stampin' Up! catalog is this set -- Happy Hour! I just love all the sayings and the cute cocktails with the patterns in them. Here is a very simple birthday card made using this set. This card would be great for a male or female... it's pretty neutral! I love having cards like this in my stash... birthdays are always sneaking up on me!  I also used one of the new embossing folders -- this one is called Fancy Fan and is so pretty... I love the pattern!
