It's Your Day Confetti Birthday Card

by Joanne James18. January 2015 07:00

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge over at The Paper Players, where this week LeAnne has a fun CAS challenge for us:

 

There are lots of great sentiment sets in the Stampin' Up! range; I have lots of birthdays coming up so this was a great opportunity to use the new 'it's your day' stamp from the 'Big On You' set in the Spring-Summer catalogue and create a fun birthday card. Here's my clean and simple card:

I used Bermuda Bay for my card base and covered my entire card front in a piece of confetti-patterned paper from the 'Birthday Bash' DSP range. I then took a piece of acetate window sheet, cut slightly longer than the front of my card, stamped my stamp on it in versamark and heat embossed it in gold. I then scored across the top and adhered it to the back of my card and folded it over the front. I like the effect of the floating sentiment and the fact that you get to see the whole of the DSP underneath. I almost finished my card at this point, but decided to add a string of Bermuda Bay sequins and a gold button to add to the party feel of my card - minimal embellishments are ok for this type of card and sometimes can add a nice touch.

I even did a little stamping on the inside of my card and better still, remembered to photograph it so that I could share it with you:

I hope you like today's card - rather glitzy yet at the same time clean and simple and easy to re-create. Before you reach for your ink pads, do visit the other design team members to see what interesting ideas they've had this week:

I look forward to seeing your projects in the gallery this week. Back tomorrow with another project; until then, happy stampin'!

This birthday card is ready for a party! I love that fun confetti background paper, and the inside of your card is as cute as the outside!

Love your idea of using window sheets so that the gorgeous DSP is visible! Pretty CAS card that really packs a punch!

Thanks Debbie. I've never tried this technique before but the DSP was too good to cover up!

Thanks Claire - I was going to leave the card with a sentiment only, but then couldn't resist the added sequins Smile xx

Wow, I have always been afraid to try embossing on an acetate sheet....I was sure I would melt the whole thing into a hot mess!  This looks AWESOME!  And those sequins...woohoo!  Love them with the gold, they really pack a punch!

I've never tried to heat emboss on acetate before and was surprised at how well it worked LeAnne. My top tip - be REALLY thorough with the embossing buddy first; acetate is more prone to static than paper. I did have one false start - but because I could tell before I heat set it, I just wiped it off and restamped. Couldn't resist the sequins, even though we are CAS this week lol!

Such a happy, cheerful card Joanne! I love the gold embossing on the DSP and the sequin trim is such a fun touch. I always love to see the decorated inside of the card as well. So fun!

Thanks Anne Marie. Glad you like my card; I am trying to decorate the inside more often, but even when I do I often forget to photograph it. When I do it's a bonus!

Great idea to stamp on the window sheet and a perfect way to adhere it! The sentiment really pops in gold and the sequins add just the right amount of party glamour!!

Joanne, I love these sentiments - they really are so big and bold and look great over patterned DSP.  Your card is made even more special by the string of sequins and I love that you stamped the inside, too!   Fabulous card
