Cards

Hello, Gemma here today and I have a snappy birthday card to share, featuring the Birthday Signs stamp set.

I stamped out the crocodile and cupcakes from the Birthday Signs stamp set, and coloured them with copic markers.

Copic colours: Crocodile: YG61-67, YR30-31, N0-3, R22-27, Y11 Cupcakes: E30-33, Y00-13, R22-27, YG03-05

I stamped a sentiment from the set on the croc’s sign, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I added two more layers behind the crocodile for dimension.

Next, I worked on my background. I used the Streamers stencils with Squeezed Lemonade and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks. I trimmed the panel down to 5.5” high and 3 7/8” wide.

When I want to add a critter to a strong background, I like the soften it with vellum so the critter stands out. I cut a strip of vellum, 1 3/4” tall. I adhered the crocodile to the centre with liquid glue, then wrapped the vellum around the stenciled panel and secured with tape at the back. I adhered the panel in the centre of an A2 card base, leaving some white space at either edge.

For a pop of red, to match the party hat, I die cut two thin Stitched Strips from red sparkle card. I adhered these above and below the vellum panel, then added the cupcakes with foam tape to finish this birthday card.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you were inspired to create a birthday card from the new collection of products!

Hello friends, it’s Leica here today. I am sharing a birthday card using the Fancy Cake Dies. This new die really is very fancy and can be decorated in many ways. I love the scallop piece and decided to make an ombre cake with it. Let’s get started!

For the background, I cut a white cardstock down to 4.25” x 5.5” and ink through the Medium Polka Dots Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. From top to bottom, I used Tattered Rose, Saltwater Taffy, Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, and Picked Raspberry. 

Next, I worked on the cake, which I cut in white cardstock. I cut it again in gold and used that for the cake stand. I then cut 5 scallop pieces, ink blended them with the same inks used for the background, sprayed some water for an oxidized effect, and then I splattered some white ink. I cut the candles in glitter paper and used Copic markers for the candle. After gluing all the pieces together, I cut 3 more of the cake die and glued them together for dimension. Sometimes, I like doing this method for dimension better than using foam tape. It just looks cleaner and it’s also sturdy. At the end, I placed a sheet of vellum in between the stenciled panel and the cake to soften the background.

Lastly, I stamped the Birthday Sentiment inside the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card share! Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hi folks, Kavya here with another fun card using a bunch of products form the latest release! I love the new Birthday Signs. They pair so well with so many stamp sets and I can’t stop coming up with fun combinations!

I started off by ink blending the edges of a Kraft cardstock with brown dye ink. Then, I splattered some paint and water to make it dramatic. Then, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from Birthday Signs, Wish, Build A Cupcake and Sweet Treats (the exclusive free gift for qualifying orders). I added a sentiment from the Large Celebrate Shadow die and arranged all the elements to finish off my card!

It’s so fun to mix and match, love how this one turned out! I hope this card inspired you to play around with your stamp sets to come up with fun combinations!

Happy crafting, Kavya 

Hello friends! It’s Leica here today with a fun birthday card using the latest stencils and dies from PPP. If you’re on Instagram, be sure to join us later this morning as we kick off a four day Instagram hop.

To start, I cut a 5” square in white cardstock and ink blended through the Streamers Stencils with Dried Marigold, Salvaged Patina, Spun Sugar, and  Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered some pink and white acrylic paint for added interest. Next, I cut a sheet of vellum to 4” square and used it to soften the background. 

I then cut the Winter Mug in cardstock that I painted with a cream acrylic paint. I cut the center with the “it’s your day” die and glued a pink glitter cardstock behind the script. I glued the negative pieces. Next, I ink blended scraps of white cardstock and ink blended them with the same Distress Oxide inks I used for the background. I cut the dies from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies and foam mounted all the elements onto the card base. Lastly, I glued some Creamsicle pearls  here and there for added interest and glued the card panel onto a 5” square card base.

That completes my card. If you have the Winter Mug Dies, this new Birthday Mug Addition Dies would be a great addition to your collection. Even if you do not have the Winter Mug Dies, you can still use the Birthday Mug Addition dies on their own and make birthday cards with it. 

Thanks for stopping by the PPP Blog! Enjoy your day!
