Stampin' Up! Trusty Tools Masculine Birthday Card

Happy Monday, peeps! I made this card for my son-in-love for his birthday today. He liked it cuz I gave it to him early and his mother and I took him out to dinner. I saw two cards on Pinterest that were like this and I decided to CASE the one by Pat Fairless.

Stampin' Up! Perennial Lavender Fan Fold Sympathy Card

Welcome to my Monday Morning Makeover. This is another fan fold with the same DSP as this card BUT the difference is, it's a side fold instead of a top fold. There's a reason for that...it would be there was no "oops" in cutting the base incorrectly like on this one

Stampin' Up! Napkin Birthday Card

A friend asked me how to make a card with a napkin as we had done that years ago in our group. I gave her the messy instructions and then decided to try something different. I had been cleaning out a drawer and came across some Avery full sheet labels. Hmmm, wonder what happens if I peel off the sticky side and adhere the napkin? Well, let me show you the result... 

It worked! There are a few wrinkles but it was my first attempt at this technique. Since it was a 12" x 12" napkin, I made two more cards from it.  I will post those 6/30/25. But for now...

Stampin' Up! Feathered Fun Father's Day Card

Happy Father's Day is in order for my son-in-love. No, he's not my father but he is the father of JarJar. Jar is my grandson of the feathery kind. He is at least 26 years old and he is handsome but not pick-upable for me. 

Using Kendra Morgan's April 2025 digital and a couple of Stampin' Up! stamps, I created this card for JarJar to give his "dad" who loves bourbon!

JarJar is mostly green with a little blue and red. I love the colors in Kendra's digi (although my phone and printer didn't pick up the brilliance). I cut it out with the second to largest die in the Textured Notes Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the retired Adventurous Sky Stamp Set in retired Orchid Oasis Ink. The card base is retired Cucumber Crush Card Stock.

For the inside...

I stamped the sentiments (Orchid Oasis Ink) and glass of bourbon using the retired Whiskey Business Stamp Set. The bird is from the Feathered Fun Stamp Set. I stamped him in retired Wild Wasabi Ink and colored him with Light & Dark Granny Apple Green Blends and a Light Daffodil Delight Blend. The bourbon is colored with a retired Wild Wheat Stamp N' Write Marker, the ice cubes are colored with Gold Wink of Stella and the glass was stamped with Smoky Slate Ink. I don't have good luck coloring with markers and should have watercolored it.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you are having a blessed Sunday.
