Sparkly Birthday card / Tarjeta de Cumpleanos Brillante

I made this card for my Mother-in-Law’s birthday (so, since she hasn’t seen it yet—Happy Birthday, Sarita!).  I love the sparkles that the shimmer paint adds to the sentiment and the flower edges.

The flower was easy to make using the scallop edge circle punch. 

1. Punch out five scallop circles.
2. Spray each of them with water.
3. Crinkle up each scallop. 
4. Unfold them and layer them one on top of the other.
5. Punch in the center with the Crop-a-dile and place a brad through all five layers.
6. Starting with the top layer, scrunch each layer back up (the top layer is scrunched tightly, then the others are a little looser).
7. When all layers are scrunched (that’s the technical term, right?), unfold them and finesse them to get the look you want.
8. Let the flower dry, then adhere to project.

I also added shimmer paint to the flower petals for a little extra shine.

Take your Stamping to the Extreme

Take your stamping to the extreme with our new extreme stamp sets and these cool ideas.  Whether you're a total newbie or ready to go pro, you're sure to pick up one or two new tricks.

In our world, the surf is always just right!  Simply turn an oval punch at an angle and punch along the entire edge of your card stock.  And remember, the smaller the oval, the rougher the surf.

Feel the salty spray of the sea by stamping, then stamping off, an Extreme Element image on textured card stock.

 

 

 

Don't let your kid see you taking his toy truck--he'll never believe you want it to stamp with.  Just ink up those wheels and roll the truck over your card stock.  Keep going until the wheels are clean.

 

 

 

Create an accent worthy of that 90-footer:  Stamp off an image multiple times, dragging the edge of your rubber between images.  Now that's our kind of shredding!

You don't need a snow machine to make this kind of powder, no matter the season.  Just stamp and Extreme Element and heat emboss with White Stampin' Emboss powder, then punch it out!

 

If you’d like to have the complete supply list for each of these three scrapbook pages, contact me and I’ll email them to you.
