stampin’ fancy friday – celebration challenge…

08.26.2024…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I’m sharing a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a “celebration” challenge! Our team members each created a fancy card or project showcasing a celebration…..birthday, graduation, retirement, new home, or whatever else they chose to celebrate!

The Bird’s Eye View and Sweetly Scripted Stamp Sets are two of my faves, so I paired them together to create this birthday card. To color the little bird, I used Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. For the flowers, I used Blending Brushes to add Petal Pink and Pool Party to Basic White Thick Cardstock, then used the Country Birdhouse Dies to cut them out. I also used the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, Citrus Blooms Dies, and Subtles 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper.

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created. We have a total of 24 amazing projects to share this month, and each using their own unique interpretation of the challenge!

Then…..when you CASE one of our SFF teammates, share your project on IG or FB and tag us by using #stampinfancyfriday or #fancyfridaychallenges in your post. We will share in our stories to inspire others as well!

For this card, I started with some Basic White Thick Cardstock, and adhered it to a Petal Pink Cardstock base. Next, I embossed some Basic White Thick Cardstock with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, and adhereed a strip of Subtles 6″ X 6″ DSP (notched at the bottom). I then wrapped some Linen Thread around the panel, and added a bow using Petal Pink Diagonal Trim (cut in half lengthwise) and more Linen Thread. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the entire panel to the card base.

To create the bundle of leaves, I used one of the Citrus Blooms Dies, along with Basic White Thick Cardstock. I then stamped the bird (from the Bird’s Eye View Stamp Set) on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. To color in the bird, I used the following Stampin’ Blends Marker Combo PacksPetal Pink, Pool Party, and Gray Granite. To create the little flowers, I used Blending Brushes to add Petal Pink and Pool Party to Basic White Thick Cardstock, then cut them out with the Country Birdhouse Dies.

The sentiment (from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set) was heat-embossed on Basic White Thick Cardstock, using my Versamark Pad and Black Embossing Powder. For a bit of bling, I sprinkled on embellishments from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins.
