Stampin Up Birthday Card Bash

Today was the first workshop of the year with two of the local SU demonstrators. We got to use some of the new sale-a-bration and occasions things. Each of them got to do two projects so we got to make 4 birthday cards.

These first two cards were design by Daralee. The first one was using butterfly gala and beauty abounds sets. We stamped everything with tuxedo black then we colored the butterflies with markers (daffodil delight, grapefruit grove & calypso coral) and punched them out with the matching punch, for the center of the butterflies we added rhinestones. The message is from picture perfect birthday set stamped with calypso coral and punched out with classic label mounted with foam. The papers are gingham gala DSP and nature's poem DSP

The second card was using petal burst textured impressions embossing folder for background, then the mess from under the sea framelits die, some silver thread. We were supposed to use some sequins but I don't like them so I omit them, for the message we used itty bitty birthday set with night of navy ink and punched it out with classic label again I mounted mine flat but the sample had it 3D. The hummingbird is from Humming along and we were supposed to make a background in watercolor paper then stamp the hummingbird with tuxedo black and die cut with matching die BUT I don't like watercolor so I stamped my image on regular white paper die cut it and when I got home I colored it with Copic Markers mounted it on foam

The next two cards were design by Luci. For this first card we embossed our background with tufted dynamic textured impressions embossing folder then we stamp our message from happy birthday gorgeous set with gorgeous grape and punched out with tailored tag adhered flat, the enamels dots are the gorgeous grape glitter dots and for our image we created the frame with rectangle stitched framelits and seasonal layers thinlits the set we used is climbing orchid and matching dies with gorgeous grape, so saffron and old olive inks

For this last card again we embossed our background with tufted dynamic textured impressions embossing folder, the top paper is needlepoint nook DSP, the ribbons are whisper white flax and flirty flamingo all my love combo pack, the tag was done with perennial birthday set with mossy meadow ink for message, balmy blue for the small flower, flirty flamingo and old olive and the blue flower we added a sequin on the center so it wouldn't be blue
