Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge #8

Thank you for joining us for another Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge! We’re so excited to be sharing this hop with you.  

The products used are all available in the current Annual, or seasonal, Stampin’ Up!® Catalogues.  Simply use the buttons at the bottom of the post to keep hopping!

Welcome to Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge no 8!

This week's design is by Justyna Cieslinska of Perfect Crafts:

I decided to go with a birthday card for this design after pondering it for a while. I think the image managed to get from my head to the card fairly accurately!

The base is Whisper White thick cardstock, measuring 7" x 5" (folded size) - cut to 7" x 10", scored and folded at 5".

The DSPs on the front are again from my current top favourite, the 'It's My Party' DSP stack - I can't make myself use any other DSP at the minute! Love it!

The sentiment in the centre is from the 'Party Wishes' stamp set, stamped in Melon Mambo ink on to Whisper White cardstock, punched out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch and elevated with Dimensionals. I used the small size of the 'It's My Party' enamel dots in Melon Mambo to decorate the bottom.

The small flowers decorating the top of the sentiment are punched from Melon Mambo cardstock from the 'It's My Party' cardstock pack using the Petite Petals punch and decorated with the large sized Pearl Basic Jewels to add contrast. They are attached just above the sentiment using Mini Glue Dots.

I elevated the petals slightly by pressing the blunt end of my Paper Piercing Tool into the centre of the flower.

Hope you like it! Please feel free to comment as you pass through.

It's My Party birthday card

Here's a little birthday card I made this week as part of a Birthday Card Club.
I'm quite pleased with it.

Again, using mostly the 'It's My Party' suite of card and DSP from Stampin' Up!
I'm so in love with the colours and the designs on the DSP - I'm going to have to make sure I stock up!

The base is made with Whisper White thick card with a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock from the 'It's My Party' cardstock pack.
Then I added a layer of DSP from the 'It's My Party' DSP stack and topped with a layer of Whisper White cardstock with the sentiment. This is stamped in Mint Macaron ink using the 'Happy Birthday' stamp from the 'Party Wishes' stamp set, with the balloons from the same set stamped in Mint Macaron, Melon Mambo (stamped off once) and Blushing Bride inks.
The balloons are punched out using the tiny balloon punch from the Party Punch Pack.
The stamps and the punches were actually bought together as a bundle (Party Wishes Clear Mount Bundle).
The strings for the balloons are stamped in Basic Black Archival ink, as is the sentiment inside the card - which comes from the 'Party Pants' clear mount stamp set which is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item see details below).
I used Stampin' Dimensionals to raise the balloons up a bit.
The dots underneath the sentiment are 'It's My Party' enamel dots in Melon Mambo.
