Stamp Review Crew - Amazing Birthday

Stampin' Up! Amazing Birthday and Banners Framelits Die

It's the third Monday of the month and that means it's time for the Stamp Review Crew.  We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators focused on sharing a ton of ideas focusing on a single stamp set.  This week it's a birthday set aptly called Amazing Birthday.  You have likely come from Ann Schach's blog on your way through this amazing hop.  If you get lost, simply click on the banner for a list of participants and get back on track.

November 16th was my friend Jody's birthday.  He's the guy who has treated me to horseback rides at his ranch.  He's a very special friend so when it comes to a birthday card, it has to sparkle as much as he does.  And it has to be a hand made card because that's what I do.  (Plus he kind of expects it!  LOL)  So this card's for him.

Step by Step Tips:

• I started this project by stamping this image twice - once in Real Red and once in Tempting Turquoise.  I die cut tHem both out being careful to place the Framelit in exactly the same place on both images,
• I cut out the red parts with my Paper Snips and glued them on top of the Tempting Turquoise Image.
• Then I stamped the top of the image once more in Tempting Turquoise and cut out the ”Make“ and glued it in place.
• The side banners were stamped in Tempting Turquoise and die cut using the next smaller Banner Framelit.  They were mounted on the Glimmer Paper using SNAIL.  The red cakes were stamped, punched out using the 1 1/4” punch and mounted using Dimensionals
• Then the large greeting banner was mounted using Dimensionals.  The tops of all three banners were covered with a 1/16“ strip of Real Red Card Stock and capped with Candy Dots!  Simple!

Mike, you are so right, I try ONLY to use the stamps from the SRC set of the week too! I think SU! usually makes it pretty easy for us to do, with great images and sentiments all in one set. You did a great job with this one. I love the bright colors you used on top of the glimmer paper. I LOVE glimmer and it really made a great background for your banners!

You rocked the description of this card...and hopefully your friend loved his card!!!

Great color combo Mike! I think I will have to make a card with them! I know your friend will love his card!

[Rochelle Blok]

Great card Mike! Love the silver glimmer background the combination of the Real Red and Tempting Turquoise! A bright and happy card. Great idea to use the Banner Framelits to make the large banner in the middle! Love it!

Hey Mike..just love your design. I am sure your friend will appreciate this card you made especially for him.
What a clever idea making the bar that the banner hangs from. Clever indeed. Hope you got the email I sent you back the other day regarding ideas for video tutorials.
Cheers Mike!

Very sparkly indeed! Happy belated birthday Jody. I gotta get me some of that sparkly paper! Next order, I think. All is well with Don and me, he's getting stronger every day. He takes 3 or 4 walks a day, so his legs are much better. He wanted to join a gym to get some muscle back. But the doc said, "Forget the gym, just walk." It rained all day yesterday, and he walked in it anyway. He's determined. He's been cooking again, too, which he loves.
I'm getting over a cold. It hasn't been a bad one. Just enough to irritate, and I've been tired all the time. Otherwise all is well. I get to spend most of the day in my little crafty corner. Hugs to y'all. Jess

[Yapha]

That is an amazing card! I love the glimmer paper for the background - I never would have thought of that!

[Wendie]

What a fun card, Mike.

[Dawn Tidd]

One of my favorite color combos really shows off this set!! Jody can't help but love it!

Mike, this card certainly does sparkle! Love it, especially how you created the bar it hangs from. I am so glad that you have such a sparkly friend, and that he shares his horse with you. I miss the horses I had growing up terribly!Maybe I can borrow your sparkly friend? ;)
