2 Broadway Bound Birthday Card Ideas

 

60th birthdays are special!! I loved celebrating my hubby's birthday for a couple of weeks in July!!  Eric's actual birthday was 7-29, and as you can see by the card below, I cut numbers out of the Broadway Bound designer paper to personalize his 60th birthday card!

I used 2 different patterns from the Broadway Bound specialty designer paper pack for this card, plus the sheet with the numbers.  I mounted it all onto a side fold Lemon Lime Twist card.  The green dots between the numbers are from the Glitter Enamel Dots pack.

Below.. check it out.. I even put 60 inside :)

You may remember I have already shared a few other cards I made for him.. I wanted to be sure to celebrate with lots of special Stampin' UP! birthday cards, so I made MANY!!  The one below is a gold and black theme, and I used the retired large number framelit dies to die cut the 60.  (seriously, Stampin' UP!... the number dies should NOT have retired) :)  The patterned papers are also from the Broadway Bound specialty paper pack (available here).

The card also features Gold Foil paper and a top fold Thick Whisper White card base.  I tied it up with elegant 1/2" Satin Ribbon.  The circle is die cut using the Stitched Shape framelits and gold foil paper.

Wild about You Animal Outing Birthday Card for Eric

 

Hello!! I have another Birthday Card Idea for you today .. this was another card I made for my hubby to celebrate his big day. I used the Stampin' Up! Animal Outing stamp set and the fun Animal Expedition designer paper for this cute "wild about you" card! Because you know... I'm kinda wild about him :)

 

Wild About You jungle themed birthday card idea featuring Stampin' UP! Animal Outing stamp set, Animal Expedition designer paper and One For All Happy Birthday stamp on the inside of the card. Patty Bennett, www.PattyStamps.com

 

I used a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of the designer paper on a folded Lemon Lime Twist card, and used Shaded Spruce and Lemon Lime Twist ink for the tag and greeting, stamped on Whisper White die cut pieces from the Stitched Shape Framelits and the Bunch of Banners framelits.

"Let's Celebrate You" is found in the Broadway Birthday stamp set.  It's stamped onto a die cut Bunch of Banners piece... the beauty of the photopolymer stamps is that you can bend them to match the shape of a banner like this!

I used some candle stickers from a past Paper Pumpkin kit, but you could easily use the cute gold and silver candle embellishments #146281.

Granny Apple Green Ribbon finished off this fun card!

TIP! don't forget the inside of your card and your envelopes!  I used Shaded Spruce ink and the One for All stamp set to stamp the inside.  Look closely.. I actually used a piece of the Animal Expedition designer paper on the inside of the card! :)

Rainbow Spectrum Pad birthday card for Eric

 

 HI friends!!  On our recent Stampin' Up! cruise to Alaska, we got to celebrate a very special birthday ALL WEEK LONG!!  My hubby, Eric, turned 60 and we took advantage of each special opportunity, adventure and restaurant as a way to celebrate his milestone!!  I'll be sharing more of his birthday cards over the coming week or so, and today I wanted to share one I made for him featuring the "One for All" and "Around the Corner" stamp sets from Stampin' UP!

 

One for All Stampin' UP! birthday card idea featuring the Spectrum rainbow pad and the Around the Corner stamp set, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

I had fun inking up a Spectrum rainbow pad from Stampin' UP! with blue and green reinkers (ink refills) and then using it with the lovely bold Happy Birthday stamp from the One for All set as the focal point. I also used it around the edge of the card with the Around the Corner set to pull in all these fun colors!

The colors I used on my rainbow pad:

Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Blueberry Bushel.

Color combo of blue and green for my Stampin' UP! spectrum rainbow pad, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

 

Color combo of blue and green for my Stampin' UP! spectrum rainbow pad, by Patty Bennett www.PattyStamps.com

 

Before inking the uninked Spectrum pad, I like to take my Stampin' Write markers and color a swatch of them to make sure I like the combo (as shown above). 

 

Color combo of blue and green for my Stampin' UP! spectrum rainbow pad, by Patty Bennett, featuring One for All Happy Birthday stamp image.  www.PattyStamps.com

I stamped this bold image onto Glossy paper to ensure really bold bright color and coverage, then added it to the card.

You'll find the One for All stamp set in the current 2018-2018 Stampin' UP! catalog on page 37, and the Around the Corner set on page 40. You'll find all the supplies to create your own card at the bottom of this blog post. Click any of the product photos to purchase that papercrafting product in my online Stampin' Up! store.

The 60 was cut out of the Broadway Bound Designer paper pack.

Can't get much more low cal than this... fun ice cream cones and bowls full of "Cool Treats" ice cream!  I used the RETIRING Stampin' Up! Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats framelit dies to create these super adorable cards, great for birthday cards or anytime!  Whohooo!!  Frozen Treat Framelits were just discounted - available while supplies last here!

So sorry to say that this Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats framelit set is ON THE RETIRING LIST!

Shop:  Cool Treats set here / DISCOUNTED Frozen Treat framelits here

 

QUICK TIP: click below to watch my 20 second video tip for Wink of Stella!

I feel that I get a little more even coverage with the sponge dauber and my Wink of Stella than just brushing on the Wink of Stella on my project.

 

Wasn't that fun?  I love how pretty and sparkly it makes the ice cream!

 

I made both Ice Cream Cone cards and sundae cards!  The bowls were embossed with a retired folder after die cutting, but you can use any embossing folder to add the fun texture!

 

Use the Decorative Ribbon Border punch for a fun accent on the Cool Treats ice cream cards perfect for birthday or any celebration, featuring Stampin' Up! supplies, by Patty Bennett

I added a little strip of the Decorative Ribbon Border punch in Whisper White to the bottom of the "flag/banner" on the card.. it lends a little sweetness to the card!

I also added a silver spoon to the bowls of ice cream using the Frozen Treats framelits and Silver Foil paper.

We Must Celebrate Jason's Birthday!

 

I am excited about how fun this birthday card turned out that I made for our son Jason!

He loves to feed the backyard animals at our house, so I thought this was kind of a perfect stamp image for him and a fun card!!  The stamp set is called We Must Celebrate, and it's found on pg 39 of the 2018 Occasions catalog.

  We Must Celebrate fun animal card colored with Stampin' Blends markers. Stampin' UP! Myths & Magic cloud design paper and Picnic Basket grass die.  Card by Patty Bennett

Tips for creating this card:

  • Stamp the We Must Celebrate image with Memento Black Ink onto Whisper White cardstock
  • Trim around the top portion of the animals with Paper Snips
  • Color the animals and color  in between the animals with the Pool Party Stampin Blends (I used the Dark one)
  • Layer onto the cloud design from the Myths & Magic Specialty Designer Paper
  • Add die cut grass from the Picnic Basket Builder framelits

Coloring Note:  I did use my Stampin' Blends to color this cute card.. and while they are backordered until late May 2018, you can also color these cute critters with colored pencils or other markers.

Hip Hip Hooray, it's a birthday celebration, with these festive Berry Burst party hat birthday cards!

Peter and Patty I hope you are inspired to create a handstamped birthday card for someone you love!!

He's also really awesome :)

Epic Celebrations birthday card idea

{{special update!! Click HERE for 30 Sale-a-Bration gift choices}}

 One thing I hear from my stamping and crafting friends all the time is, "I'm stuck for an idea for a guy card"... so I hope that today's Epic Celebrations birthday card is a helpful idea for you!!  I have stamped the images with Dapper Denim ink onto Whisper White cardstock, die cut with the square Stitched Shape framelit, and "blended" the colors with my Blender Pen.  It's a pretty easy card!!

Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry Cake birthday cards

 I recently challenged my Luv 2 Stamp Group team of Stampin' Up! demonstrators to create a project with a stamp set or product they had not used in awhile, so I grabbed the Celebrate You stamp set and created birthday cards featuring the Springtime Foils Sale-a-Bration paper for the background of my Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry cards!  I had not used this set in awhile but I love it! 

 

Celebrate You Stampin' UP! Birthday Card idea featuring cake and candles on sponged Springtime Foils paper background, by Patty Bennett

To create the fun backgrounds I used a Stampin' Sponge and added color to the Springtime Foil paper.  From Left to Right, I used Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight and Flirty Flamingo.  This amazing Springtime Foil paper is a FREE GIFT CHOICE during Sale-a-Bration 2018.. don't miss it! You will be SO happy that you have a pack of this amazing 12x12 paper!!  Select #147193 at checkout as your free gift with purchase!

Find the Celebrate You stamp set on page 72 of the 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! annual catalog, and the candles in the Picture Perfect Birthday set, pg 5 of the Occasions catalog.  You'll also find all of these products so you can make your own birthday cards, at the bottom of this blog post. After stamping the cake and the candles, I cut them out with my Paper Snips and added them to my cards. The Mini Stampin' Dimensionals are perfect behind the candles!

The ribbon on the above "chocolate cake" card is also a free Sale-a-Bration choice.. find it on pg 9 of your Sale-a-Bration brochure: Shimmery Ribbon 3 pack #147243.  I stamped the chocolate cake using Early Espresso ink (ya, it's a dark chocolate cake) :)

The vanilla cake was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink, and the ribbon is from one of my past paper pumpkin kits.

The "strawberry cake" card was created using Flirty Flamingo ink for the cake and the card base.  I stamped the candles in Lemon Lime Twist and Bermuda Bay ink to punch up the color a bit, and used Lemon Lime Twist striped ribbon on this card.

Endless Ways to Create Sweet Soiree Cake Cards

I created about 60 of these Sweet Soiree cake customer thank you cards one afternoon and no 2 turned out the same!! I mixed and matched the Stampin' UP! Sweet Soiree specialty designer paper - 2 designs on each card - and switched up the ribbons and the cake embellishments and was so pleased with the fun outcome! They would also be perfect for birthday cards, wedding cards or anniversary cards!

I cut about 1" off the right side of the front of each Tutti-Frutti note card and put a piece of the Bubbles & Fizz designer paper inside the card for added color and pop!

The die cut circle or oval sticks out beyond the front flap of the card.

The balloons are punched out with the Balloon Bouquet punch and the Myths & Magic Glimmer paper found on page 37 of the 2018 Occasions catalog.
