Stampin' Up! Australia - Hip Hip Hooray Birthday card

Hi

I was looking for ways of using up some of my hoarded DSP when I remembered one of the first sketches I was ever taught as a newbie card maker.

2 strips of DSP equal widths on the base with a square in the middle. EASY...and the best part is that it always looks good!

The Birthday Bash Designer Series Paper coordinates so well and was perfect for my card.

I also thought I would drag out an old set - Hip Hip Hooray - from March 2014 to be exact so I could play along with a challenge site that I have had my eye on for some time....the Retro Rubber Challenge. They are having an 'Anything Goes' challenge this week so it is a good one to start on.

I hope you like my card. If you have been inspired by it and would like to support my creative business, all the supplies may be found by clicking through the links below which will take you to my store.

The 2015 Occasions Catalogue is still current so if you would like to go on my mailing list and receive your free copy, just send me an email. :)

Alternatively, you may download the catalogue here!

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Hip Hip Hooray - CASE-ing The Catty

At CASE-ing the Catty this week, we are exploring the Kids chapter of the catalogue.

CASE - The acronym stands for COPY AND SHARE EVERYTHING. The latest Stampin' Up! ® Catalogue certainly encourages crafters to do just that as it is jam packed with amazing, inspirational projects.

The idea is to feature a section of the Stampin' Up! ® catalogue each week using the projects in the catty as inspiration.

You can directly CASE (Copy and Share Everything) or use a sketch/layout, colour combo, embellishment, just to name a few examples, as a springboard for your own creations.

Here's a Badge to paste to your blog:

Guidelines

Create a new project for the current challenge (no back linking)

Mention CTC Challenges in your blog post and link back to the challenge blog so others can join in on the fun.

Let us know what project you CASED and make reference to the page of your country's catalogue where you got your inspiration.

SUO products (retired or current) may be used in your projects for CTC Challenges.

So let's go!

My card was inspired by the card on page 86 of the catalogue....I loved the background of the Large Polka Dot embossed texture and the fun colour combination of Crushed Curry, Kraft, Real Red, Coastal Cabana and Smoky Slate.

I used my markers to colour in my stamp (from the Hip Hip Hooray card kit). The arrow is cut from a retired set called "Hello Lovely" but there is a gorgeous arrow punch that you could use from the new catalogue instead, or an arrow framelit from the Label Card Thinlits Die (I've linked these products below).

To make the glittery star, I covered my punched star in Versamark and then sprinkled Heat & Stick Powder over the top of it. I heated this with the Heat Tool so it was nice & sticky and then I sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds glitter over it....so you get a glittery Crushed Curry star!

Now I don't have the Kraft card stock yet, so I upcycled a piece of backing cardboard that I got from one of the many Stampin' Up! kits and DSP that I've bought over the years....I'm a hoarder and I keep EVERYTHING! :)

Here's the original:

Hope you like my card and are inspired to play along. :)

Stampin' Up! Australia - Color Coach Card #67 - Bokeh Technique

Crisp Cantaloupe #3

#ColorCoachJourney

Hi

I did say that I would come back to the 3rd Crisp Cantaloupe Color Coach suggestion.....I had a few ideas floating around in my head that would make best use of these two colours and this one took out top spot.

I have been wanting to try the Bokeh technique since seeing this card and this card ....they are both fantastic! I got a lot of inspiration from the coral tones in Dawns card....and I loved her scattering of sequins too.

I'm also putting this in the "Seize The Birthday - Anything Goes" challenge....but their toppings option is 'Yellow' which sounds like fun, so I may come back and play that in a couple of days. :)

Hope you like it! :)

Cheers

Stampin' Up! Australia - Stampin' Up! Hip Hip Hooray!

Hi

Hip Hip Hooray! I finally played in a Dynamic Duos challenge again!!!

The colours this week are Melon Mambo and Tempting Turquoise.....great for a card for a tween girl!

I visited Mojo Monday this week for a sketch idea and they were doing 'Tall & Skinny' with cool vertical banners.

I used the very funky "Hip Hip Hooray" sentiment from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit - the great thing about these kits is that once you have made all the cards, you still have the stamps to continue playing with and they are very on-trend and versatile.

My embellishment areas of the sketch were decorated with stars....the small star punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack and the Star Framelit from the Circle Card Thinlits Die.

I matted my Designer Series Paper to give it a finished look and then just layered my sentiment panel on dimensionals.

There's so much 'trend' going on here - chevrons, banners, stars, subway-art-sentiments! I know it will make a little girl very happy!

I am linking this up to the Seize the Birthday challenge this week...the "toppings" are buttons & rhinestones...or anything blingy...so I hope my glittery stars fit the bill. :)
