Stampin' Up! Brewed For You Birthday Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, crushed curry.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations. This week, I have chosen crushed curry, blueberry bushel and gray granite from the colour coach to work with. 

I'm trying to increase my stash of male cards and the colour crushed curry reminds me of beer in a frosted glass at the pub (not that I drink beer) but this is where this card started. Using the colour coach I choose my colour combination based on what I thought I could make work best with a glass (or rather 5 glasses of beer). Alphabet a la mode spell out the word "Happy" and the word birthday is from artistically inked stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Thinking of You Gorgeously Made Offset Gatefold Card

I had a play making an offset gatefold card because I could. Sometimes it is nice to just make a card without needing it for a class or a blog hop. I used Masterfully Made DSP, Gorgeously Made stamp set and Gorgeously Made dies.
Did you know that the Masterfully Made DSP has words from the Stampin' Up! statement of the heart in amongst the floral images?

Stampin' Up! Happy Birthday Card with Faux Embossing Technique with Alphabet A La Mode & Wanted to Say Dies

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, coastal cabana.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen coastal cabana, night of navy and gray granite from the colour coach to work with. 
I've used alphabet a la mode dies to create a numbered background for my happy birthday die cut circle to rest on. The adhesive sheets are a dream to work with for small dies cuts like these. Lots of layering and die cutting on this card and very little to explain but it does create the faux embossing technique which I have created many times before when making a tone on tone background. I did use stampin' dimesionals to pop up the happy birthday sentiment from the layer die cut circles for added depth.

Inside card - I made use of the offcuts to decorate the inside panel along with some full size numbers to fill in the larger spaces 

With envelope - I used the leftover waste from die cutting the numbers to decorate the envelope


Up next we have Sharon Davern. I can't wait to see what she is sharing.
