Happy Birthday {Color Dare Challenge #615}

🎨 Hello and Welcome Back, Creative Friends! 🌟



I’m thrilled to share my latest card-making adventure, inspired by the Color Dare Challenge Blog #615from the Color Dare Challenge Blog.

This time, I dived into the vibrant SIX PACK color palette, selecting SapphireCapriLemonade, and a pinch of Evergreen. The combination turned out beautifully, and I can't wait to walk you through it!



For the base, I crafted a stunning Sapphire textured background using the "Dots" embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp. To bring some brightness, I die-cut balloons in Lemonade and playful stripes.

The diagonal partial die-cut "Happy Birthday" from the coordinating stamps and die set - Happy Birthday from Scrapbook.com on the second striped panel added just the right amount of flair, especially when I layered it on the Sapphire embossed background using foam tape for that extra dimension.




Finally, I attached everything to a Kraft card base and added an Evergreen ribbon with some sparkly rhinestones for the perfect finishing touch. ✨




I absolutely loved how this card turned out—bold, bright, and beautifully balanced! Using this color combo and my beloved embossing folder made the crafting process even more enjoyable. 💖

Happy Kittyween 🎃👻 { Crafty Stamp Co }

 

Hello, crafters!

Today I bring you a very special card to celebrate this spooky season in the most adorable way. 🎃👻

I'm so happy to share with you this "Happy Kittyween" card is perfect for cat lovers and Halloween enthusiasts alike. 🐱🎃 using the adorable Kittyween stamps from the September collection by Crafty Stamp Co. 

I start with a Card base 4.25"x 5.50" in blue, then for the first layer used orange paper from the Halloween Texture paper pad . The combination of deep blue and vibrant orange creates a visually striking effect. I used Dots embossing folder to add texture to the orange layer. Dotted paper for the widht banner also from the Halloween Texture paper pad.


The star of the card is undoubtedly the adorable kitty wearing a pumpkin on its head is one of the stamp from this Kittyween stamp set, the whole image I used my Prismacolor pencils to colored it and blended it using the blending technique with Gamsol which really make the image pop. 

For the final touch, I add the whitte bow at the top along with the "Happy Kittyween" messages and some gold sequins to  complete the card, adding those small details makes all the difference.


This card is a perfect example of how to combine different techniques and materials to create something unique and charming.
