Happy Birthday Sweet Stampin'

 We're celebrating our birthday at the Sweet Stampin' blog this weekend and we'd love you to join in our birthday-themed challenge.  It'll make a change from making Christmas cards!

Here's my DT make:

My main image was created using a layering stencil which I think is by Gina K. I used a combination of ink brands and added a stamped birthday sentiment from an ancient Papertrey Ink set.  I layered the image onto a pink cardstock mat before adhering to a black A2 card base.  Quick and simple!

Hope you can hop over to the blog to check out the inspiration makes from my lovely Sweetie teamies.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Happy, happy Birthday (to us)!

 It's Sweet Stampin's birthday and we'd love you to celebrate with us by joining in our birthday-themed challenge.

Team Susan and Team Wends are joining forces to provide you with some birthday inspiration so do check out all of the fabby projects here.

My DT card uses some cute stamps from MFT

I stamped the sweet elephants in Memento ink and coloured them with Copics.  I added a little bit of glitter pen here and there, together with some clear Wink of Stella and glossy accents on the balloon.

I hope this fortnight's challenge gives you a nice break from making Christmas cards.  Can't wait to see what you make!

Have a great weekend

Happy Birthday Sweet Stampin'!

 Hello!

It's our birthday week at Sweet Stampin' so both Team Wends and Team Susan are sharing inspiration cards for this fortnight's challenge.  Our theme, of course, is birthdays so here's what I made

I used a Stamping Bella image that I've had for ages and coloured her with Copics.  I kept everything really simple with just a plain purple mat, a bit of Sakura Glitter pen on the cake  and some purple adhesive dots for a bit of bling.

I do hope you can help us to celebrate our birthday by joining in with our challenge.  You'll find lots of inspiration and the challenge details over at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Birthday Sweet Stampin'... Happy Birthday to you!

 We're celebrating at Sweet Stampin'.  It's our 11th birthday today so it makes sense that this week's challenge should be all about birthdays.

I managed to buy one of the must-have Anita Jeram/Colorado Craft Company stamps and used this sweet rabbit and his balloon for my DT card

I was surprised at just how easy this little cutie was to colour with Copics.  I just addded some clear Wink of Stella to the balloon and put the image mat onto some pale blue Magnolia paper that I've had for ages.  

I didn't want to detract from the image with a sentiment and felt that everything I had was just a wee bit too big, so I put the birthday wishes on the inside with another cute critter from the same stamp set.

I really hope you can play along with us this week.  If you're looking for break from making Christmas cards, this is perfect for you!

You'll get all the challenge details and some gorgeous inspiration from the Sweeties right here.

Have a fab weekend
