Flippin' Friday: Birthday Candle Wishes

It's Friday & I have a fun birthday flip card to share with you today!

These big birthday candles (Birthday Candles Jumbo Wheel) and bright, cheery colors from the Quatrefancy Specialty Paper make this card so much fun!

A little glitter applied to the flames for some added sparkle. (I used Dazzling Details brushed on with my Aqua Painter)

The "wish big" banner is from the Occasions Catalog set, Another Great Year. Here's a look at the flip side.

The birthday stamp used above is part of the Sale-a-Bration set See Ya Later...I highly recommend adding it to your collection... if you haven't already!

Have a great weekend!

See Ya Later Birthday

Here is the fourth card in the set I created using the See Ya Later stamp set. All four cards use the same basic layout, the same color scheme and the Sweet Sorbet DSP.

However, just by changing the the DSP pattern, the dominant color or perhaps the background, each card looks quite different, don't you think?

Hope you liked seeing this set of cards...don't forget to scroll down to see a closer look at each design I posted during the past few days.

Today I am back to share the third card in a four card set using one of the stamp sets and the DSP you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-Bration.

Like the first two cards, I used both the See Ya Later stamp set and the Sweet Sorbet DSP. I did make a few slight changes from the last card I shared from this set (scroll down to see). Obviously I chose a different background color and this time instead of using an embossing folder I stamped my background using one of the flower images from Petite Petals. I also used a different ribbon...this time I went with the Basic Black Chevron.

If you are wondering how the decorative edge was cut on the strip of DSP...scroll down to my last post to see how that was done.

Make sure to check back tomorrow to see the final card from this set.

See Ya Later, Alligator

On my last post I shared a card using the See Ya Later stamp set. That card got me started on a set of 4 cards using that set along with the Sweet Sorbet DSP...both of which are FREE during Sale-a-Bration! Here's card number 2 in the set...

As you can see, I used the same basic layout for both cards...just eliminated the pennants from my previous card and instead went with a strip of DSP cut with a decorative edge using my Apothecary Accents Framelits. You may be wondering exactly how I used the framelit to create this edge...well take a look at this photo to see how.

Just line up your strip of DSP as shown above and remember...DO NOT roll it all the way thru the machine or it will crease the paper. After you feel it cut, stop and back it off and you will have a strip cut with the decorative edge. You can try this with any of your framelits to get lots of different edges.

Check back for my next post where I will share the next card in this set.

See Ya Later, Love

This was supposed to be yesterdays posting for Valentine's Day. Unfortunately, I had a really bad migraine and it didn't get posted. Hopefully you had a better Valentine's Day than I did! I'm feeling much better...so the hubby and I will celebrate today instead. On the up side...I bet the restaurants will be less crowded.

The Sale-a-Bration set See Ya Later was used for this, along with Pennant Parade, Hardwood background and the Hostess Set, Express Yourself. The DSP used for the pennants is one of the patterns from Sweet Sorbet (FREE during SAB!)

It doesn't show real well in my photo, but I also used the Needlepoint Border Embossing Folder on both edges of the Basic Black layer that mats the main image. I find myself grabbing this embossing folder a lot when I want to add a little extra detail.

See ya later...have a great weekend!

Sweet Sorbet Friends Shadowbox

WOO HOO!!! Today is the first day of Sale-a-Bration!!! I have a cute scrapbook page I made for a friend to share today. It uses the Sweet Sorbet DSP which is a FREE selection during SAB. The page is 8x8 and was made to fit inside of a shadowbox frame. The faces of my friends have been blurred because they are all in the witness protection program! Just kidding about that, but I was not sure how they would feel having their photo online so I blurred them to protect "the innocent".

I don't have the coordinating stamp set called Petal Parade (yet!) but I do have Secret Garden with the coordinating framelits and I think it goes really well with this paper. The little Summer Starfruit flowers are from the Petite Petals set in the Occasions Catalog. It has a matching punch. The only fussy cutting I had to do was a couple of the leaves that I cut from the DSP. Here's a closer look to see the detail.

Here is the page after I framed it inside the shadowbox frame.

I also made a birthday card to go with the gift. This was the best photo I got of the card...not that great, but I already sent the gift off in the mail.

The main image on this is from the See Ya Later set...also a FREE selection during SAB. My color choices for this project were selected from the Sweet Sorbet DSP and include:

• Pool Party
• Crisp Cantaloupe
• Pistachio Pudding
• Summer Starfruit
• Basic Black
• Whisper White
