Stampin' Up! Bistro Burger Birthday Card

Good morning, peeps. I bet a lot of you are glad it's Friday. Since the weekend is arriving, perhaps you'll be having a picnic? Want a tiny peek at what I'll be having?

Inspired By invited me to go on a picnic with them  and I was inspired by their checkered napkins.  

Hopefully, 

will consider the reds, orange, yellow and greens, bright colors as I did incorporate the stripes on the french fry box and there are a number of layers involved (right side down for the challenge). Let's take a bigger look see...

I was inspired by the card Marcie Besecker created here. Thank you, Marcie!

For the inside...

I made this for my son-in-love who just turned 55. Because I like puns, I opted not to use the "deal" part of the sentiment, I substituted a "dill" pickle. I thank you for stopping by today.

I'm entering my card in Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge where I used to be on the Design Team. I don't miss working with digitals, but I do miss the teams! I also have nothing from Beccy's Place so it's worth a shot at the prize! Y'all go give Pammie some support, please!

Score diagonally from the bottom of the 4 1/4" score line to the upper right corner of the 11" edge. Fold and burnish. Adhere the portion between the 4 1/4" and 5 1/2" score lines together to create the book binding.

Stampin' Up! Citrus Blooms Birthday for the Creative Creases Challenge #84 Anything Goes with a Fun Fold

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #84. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. Here's what I created with the Citrus Blooms Bundle...

Let's take a closer look shall we?

I love this Bundle and the Mediterranean Blooms DSP. The embossing folder I used is Quatrefile. The "hello" is from the Garden Meadow Stamp Set and cut with one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. It's stamped and edged in Mossy Meadow. The oranges are cut from the DSP with a die from the Citrus Blooms set.

This is where the fun fold comes in and I was inspired by Susan Campfield in her May 18, 2024 video.

The orange is cut with another die, same set, same DSP. The strips and squares of DSP are from the 2024-2026 In Color 6" x 6" pack. The sentiment is computer generated.

Here's a view from the top...

Thank you, Susan, for letting me CASE your card!

I hope my readers will join us at CCC #84. If your card is picked as a winner, you'll get a chance to be a Guest Designer...that's how I started out! Our Design Team is a great one and I hope you'll check out each member's blog. You'll be in for a treat!!

Stampin' Up! Latte Love for the Creative Creases Challenge #83 Anything with a Fun Fold

Welcome to our Anything Goes With a Fun Fold Challenge. If you haven't played at Creative Creases Challenge before, what are you waiting for? Hop on over to Challenge #83. We'd love to see your fun fold creation. 

Let's take a closer look and give you the deets, okay?

My inspiration came from Lisa Curcio. The only thing that is the same as Lisa's is the measurement for the pleated DSP.

Front: Very Vanilla card base: 4 1/4" x 11", scored and folded at 5 1/2"

Crumb Cake Mat: 4" x 5 1/4"

A Little Latte DSP: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"

Very Vanilla for pleated DSP backing: 2 3/8" x 3 7/8"

A Little Latte DSP for pleating: 4" x 7"

For the pleating, score at 1/2", 1", 2", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 4", 5", 5 1/2", 6 1/2". The first fold is a mountain fold, second is a valley fold and continue with that pattern, ending with a mountain fold. There are Stampin' Dimensionals along each 1/2" valley fold to keep the pleats raised. You can see a couple on the first pleat. I'll pretend I did it for you to notice...lol! The pleated panel is then adhered to the small piece of Very Vanilla.

I used a Latte Love Die to cut out the coffee cup and a Stylish Shapes Die to cut out the square for the sentiment from Latte Love Stamp Set. I used Pecan Pie ink. The inside is the same ink, same stamp set and another pattern of the DSP. I also used another pattern for the envelope flap.

Inside: A Little Latte DSP 4" x 5 1/4"

         Very Vanilla for image and sentiment: 3" x 4"

I hope you'll join us at CCC #83. If your card is picked as a winner, you'll get a chance to be a Guest Designer...that's how I started out! Our Design Team is a great one and I hope you'll check out each member's blog. You'll be in for a treat!!

Stampin' Up! Brewed for You for the Happy Inkin' Thursday Blog Hop

Thank you for stopping here from wherever you came! We have a color challenge today and here is what I created for our hop...

Let's take a closer look, shall we?

My card base is Pecan Pie with a mat of Wild Wheat (a/k/a gold!) Bright & Beautiful DSP. The hearts are Pebbled Path color from the same DSP. Then a dot panel of Wild Wheat.

I stamped the images from the Brewed for You Stamp Set in Pebbled Path ink on a scrap of white and cut it out with the Brewed Dies. The sentiment was stamped in Wild Wheat ink on a scrap of white and fussy cut.

The beer mug is colored with my Wild Wheat Stamp N Write Marker, the jug with my Pebbled Path marker and the beer glass with my Light & Dark Pecan Pie Blends. I adhered the jug with Stampin' Dimensionals...everything else with liquid glue.

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge #2411

Welcome to another PIP Challenge. Here is what I created for it...

I just love the background digital from our awesome sponsor ...

This was the easiest digital card I have made so far. All I had to do was print out the digi, cut it to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and adhere it to a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" Pecan Pie Cardstock base.

Next I stamped the sentiment from Stampin' Up!'s He's All That Stamp Set in Pecan Pie on a scrap of Basic White and punched it out with the Modern Oval Punch. I also punched a scrap of Pecan Pie and cut it in half to make a border of sorts for the sentiment. I adhered it to the card front with Stampin' Dimensionals. Card front done!

For the inside, I used the same stamp set/ink and adhered a 1/2" border.

Thank you for stopping by today. Be sure to head over to the PIP Challenge and share a card you have created. You may even win a prize! You don't have to use Polkadoodles but check them out to see all the amazing images they have to offer! You can certainly find something you'll love!!
