Stamp Ink Paper Challenge #13 - A Cactus Pop-Up Birthday Card

Hello Everyone,

Happy Tuesday to you all.  Its time for the Stamp Ink Paper challenge this week and we have a Birthday theme.



I actually make Birthday cards the most and this one is intended for one of my daughter's friends for this weekend.  I've used the large stamp from Happy Birthday Everyone Hostess stamp set on the front panel of this card and used cardstock of Raspberry Ripple (retired), Crumb Cake and Whisper White.  The patterned paper is from the pack English Garden.  My daughter requested a Cactus card for her friend and not having any suitable stamps I went online and found these digi stamps which I've coloured with Blender pens and SU ink.




Everything else used except the Cacti are Stampin' Up supplies.  Below is a closeup of the card front but the fun part of this card is actually when you open it up as you will see in the picture below.




I made this as a Pop up card.  Aren't these cacti cute.  I thought this would be a nice surprise on the inside.




I hope you will play along with this week's Birthday Theme challenge at Stamp Ink Paper and make sure you visit and see what our other designers have to share with you.

Have a great day. :-)

    What a fun pop up card, Carolyn! Those cacti are great, and I'm quite impressed how you inked up that sentiment in two colors.

      Thanks very much Tina, I actually haven't made a pop up card in a long while but I had this idea when my daughter insisted on a Cactus card for her friend.

    Hello Carolyn: I love, love Succulents, but have very bad luck keeping them so your beautiful card just jumped at me. I love pop up cards, they are fun to make and more fun to receive, this trio of Succulents look adorable standing up like that.
    I want to thank you so much for leaving me your sweet comment on my SIP card, I love reading it.
    Many hugs,
    Maria Rodriguez.

      Oh thank you Michael. Trust my daughter to request a card that I didn't have any stamps for. I don't know the significance of the cacti to the world of 14 year old girls, but apparently the Birthday girl loved it!

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
