RainyDay Stamper

Birthdays

Trying to get a bit ahead this year and get a stash of birthday cards ready before I need them.  And most of all get them in the mail on time, so they will be received before the birthday day.  I know, remarkable if it really happens, but that is my goal for the year. How about this pretty little number

 
 I love this Melon Mambo DSP from the Ice Cream Parlour Sale-a-bration pack.  The scallop border is one of the self adhesive die cuts that comes with the pack.  I stamped the sentiment from On Your Birthday onto Whisper White with Melon Mambo ink and added the Pretty in Pink satin bow with a Vintage brad. 

Happy Stamping,

 

Keep the layout,

change the colors and this is what you get. On Monday I posted this card

and today's card, I exchanged the Melon Mambo with Tempting Turquoise and the Chocolate  Chip with Daffodil Delight.

I finally broke down and cut up the one precious sheet that I was saving(???) of Daffodil Delight, a new core color.  In May or June, Stampin' Up sent demos, one sheet of each of the new core colors, and there they sat.  I must say, I love this color, not as bright as YoYo Yellow and doesn't it go great with Tempting Turquoise. Everything else is the same on the card but it is perfect for a summer birthday. And inside I just changed the sentiment.

Happy Stamping,

  
 
 

Melon & Chocolate

Not only does that sound good if it was food, but colorwise, it is great together.

 Another quick and easy card, the little cupcakes from Short & Sweet are stamped onto Whisper White with Black Stazon and then colored with Real Red marker for the cherries, Melon Mambo for the wrapper, but for the icing, I used my blender pen and Chocolate Chip ink so it would be a softer color.  I then punched them out with my  3/4" circle punch and layered them onto 1" Melon Mambo circles.  The sentiment from On Your Birthday is stamped using Versamark and embossed using White Embossing powder.  Inside

Another sentiment from the same set stamped in Melon Mambo.

Happy Stamping,
