Hello and welcome to my blog; I have a super simple birthday card for you today using the Hoot Hoot Hooray Stamp Set from the Beginners Brochure (or the Experience Creativity Brochure). I designed this card with the beginning crafter in mind. I did do a little die cutting and a little coloring with my Stampin' Blends but it's still really a card for someone that's just starting out. Here's a look at today's card.
I started out my card for today by stamping the cupcake image with Tuxedo Black ink and I set it aside and let the ink dry a little while before coloring. While the ink was drying I added a piece of 2019-2021 In Color Designer Series Paper that I cut down to 4" x 5 1/4" and added it to a piece of Whisper White that I cut to 4 1/8 x 5 3/8. Before adding the matted designer series paper to my Purple Posy Card Base I added the Purple 3/8" Tricolor Ribbon.
After this time it was time to start coloring. I used the following colors; Purple Posy Light & Dark, Flirty Flamingo Light & Dark, Blackberry Bliss Light & Dark and Smoky Slate Light and Dark. I just did real simple coloring not a lot of blending just added a little dark around the edges and then filled in the rest with the lighter color. I then used the Stitched Shapes Dies and used the largest Stitched Circle die and cut out the cupcakes. I used a large scalloped die from the Layering Circles Dies and cut out a large scallop circles from Flirty Flamingo. I layered the two together with a little Snail Adhesive and then pupped up it over the ribbon with Dimensionals.
To finish off my card I tied a bow using the Purple 3/8 Tricolor Ribbon and attached it to the card front with a mini glue dot. I then added a few of the Purple Posy Faceted Dots to the stitched circle. And that is all it took to make today's simple birthday card. Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful safe weekend and maybe do a little crafting.
Happy Stampin'
