BALLOONS AND BANNERS BIRTHDAY CARD FOR THREE CHALLENGES

HEY BLOGGIES,

I have a cute cute cute birthday card following sketches/challenges from three blogs this week.

1.  Sketch Frenzy Friday

2.  The City Crafter Challenge is:

3.  Just Add Ink Sketch:

Banners and Balloons are two of my favorite things for birthdays!!    I saw this card idea on Pinterest by Nicole T, a fellow demo.  I changed up the colors a bit to make it different.  Thanks, Nicole!!

Endless Birthday Wishes is the photopolymer stamp set I used.  And the bitty banner punch as well as the small star punch was used.

 I used versamark and irridescent ice embossing powder for the Celebrate sentiment inside.  It is hard to tell in this photo, but it is very sparkly!!

I used Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon for the colors. I used my aqua marker to paint the ink on the birthday cake and to shade it.

I am enjoying this stamp set very much and so happy it is in the new Stampin' Up! catalog for another year!!  WOO HOO.

Thanks for stopping by.  Check out each challenge to see more wonderful cards from their challenge, won't you?

SALE-A-BRATION WORKSHOP FUN

HEY BLOGGIES,

We had a workshop at Tammy's home last night and had a fun time making cards, visiting and sharing ideas.  With Sale-a-Bration right now, your friends WANT to get a free item, so why not invite them over to your home and let me bring supplies and have them made some fun cards?  You, as hostess, will earn extra hostess dollars to spend when you have a qualifying party.

 Strawberry Slush and whisper white are the colors used in this fun card.  I got the idea from my manager Dawn G.  Thanks girlie!!  Everyone loved this card.

 Banner Blast stamp set is a FREE item you can get when you place a minimum order of $50.  And we also used the Banner punch which is a FREE item as well.

 Some baker's twine was wrapped around the card twice and then the banners attached.  The little heart is also in the Banner Blast stamp set.

I also used the Starburst Sayings stamp set and matching thinlits Dies for the sentiment "YOU MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE".  The stamp set and dies can be purchased in a bundle for 15% discount.

Everyone at the workshop LOVED the two Sale-a-Bration items we used on this card so much that they all got them both FOR FREE with their orders!!

A few smiling faces with their cards to prove how much fun this workshop was.  \

Contact me soon so I can schedule YOUR workshop as well.  I do long distance or VIRTUAL workshops as well - I send you everything you need for your attendees to make their cards at your own home and you send me their orders back by email.
