Manly MojoMonday Birthday Card

I made this masculine birthday card for the MojoMonday Sketch#195 here.
I used some products that will retire June 30th-the Party Hearty stamp set and Celebrations DSP.
Real Red card stock is the base then I added two patterns from the Celebrations DSP. I stamped celebrate you from Party Hearty three times, once in Real Red and cut it out with the Coluzzle circle cutter. I  punched out a Real Red piece with the 2 1/2 inch XL Circle punch. Then I stamped it again in Pear Pizzazz and cut out the dotted circle. Finally, in Pacific Point, punched it out with the 3/4 inch Circle punch, and popped it up with a Stampin' dimensional. I stamped the present three times in Real Red, Bashful Blue and Pear Pizzazz, punched them out with the 3/4 inch Circle punch and popped them up with Stampin' dimensionals. Happy Birthday from On Your Birthday was stamped in Pacific Point, punched out with the Word Window punch and layered onto a Pacific Point piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: On Your Birthday and Party Hearty
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Pacific Point, Celebrations DSP
Inks: Bashful Blue, Real Red, Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: 3/4 inch Circle punch, 2 1/2 inch XL Circle punch, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, Stampin' dimensionals, Coluzzle circle cutter, 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly ribbon

Party Hearty Birthday

I made this card for my dad's birthday and two challenges. First, PPA#96 here, and second, Create with Connie and Mary Sketch Challenge#153 here.
The PPA Challenge was a color challenge-Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard and Night of Navy-and to make a masculine card.
The base is Crumb Cake card stock. Then I ran Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard and Night of Navy card stock thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I stamped the image from Party Hearty(retiring on June 30th) in Cherry Cobbler. Then in Night of Navy I stamped the birthday image and  used my 3/4 inch Circle punch to punch it out and pop it up with a Stampin' dimensional. Finally, some Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Party Hearty
Papers: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, More Mustard and Night of Navy
Inks: Cherry Cobbler and Night of Navy
Accessories: 3/4 inch Circle punch, Square Lattice embossing folder, Stampin' dimensionals

Stamping 411 Sketch#204

I made this bright birthday card for the Stamping 411 Sketch#204 here. This card came together so fast that I know I'll use this sketch again!
My base is Real Red card stock and I added papers from the Celebrations DSP. I stamped the party hats from Party Hearty(30% off now thru May 31st) a few times in Bashful Blue, Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red then cut them out. Party Hearty was stamped in Real Red. Finally, some 1/4 inch Real Red grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Party Hearty
Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Celebrations DSP
Inks: Bashful Blue, Pacific Point, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red
Accessories: 1/4 inch Real Red grosgrain ribbon

Party Hearty in Real Red

I found this card on my desk and realized I'd never posted it. I actually made 5 of them, one in each color of the banner.
The base is Real Red card stock. I ran some Crumb Cake thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka-dot textured impressions embossing folder. I added some DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I stamped "party hearty" and "and many more' in Real Red and punched them out with the Word Window and Large Tag punches. I punched out some Early Espresso with the Modern Label punch and some Real Red with the XL Tag punch. I used the Handheld punch for the hole in the tags and threaded it with Natural Hemp Twine. I colored in the hats stamp with Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point and Old Olive Stampin' Write markers, trimmed them down and adhered them to a small sliver of Early Espresso to create the banner. Finally, some 1/8 inch Early Espresso finishes it off.
Here's my recipe:

Baby Card for a Sketch & Inspiration Challenge

I made this baby card with the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge#327 here, and the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge#47 here.
I was drawn to the lion and the stripes in the plate so I went from there.
I started with Pumpkin Pie card stock and added some DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack. I used scraps of Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Soft Suede and Bashful Blue for the stripes. I colored the lion from Fox and Friends with my Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Markers and added a mouth with the Soft Suede Stampin' Write marker. I colored one of the party hats from Party Hearty with my Old Olive and Soft Suede Stampin' Write markers, cut it out and popped it up with a Stampin' dimensional. I stamped hello baby from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Pumpkin Pie, punched it out with the 1 3/8 inch by 5/8 inch Large Oval punch and layered it onto a Pumpkin Pie piece punched with the 1 3/4 inch by 7/8 inch Large Oval punch. I popped the ovals up with Stampin' dimensionals too. I added a Bashful Blue(retired), Daffodil Delight and Old Olive brad. Finally, some 5/8 inch Old Olive grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.

Razzleberry Birthday Card for the Stamping 411 Sketch

I made this birthday card for the Stamping 411 sketch#192 here.
The base is Rich Razzleberry card stock and then I added some DSP from the Patterns DSP Brights Stack.
I used the cupcake from Party Hearty and stamped it twice, once in Razzleberry then again in Crumb Cake, cutting out the Crumb Cake and popping it up with Stampin dimensionals. The candle was stamped in Daffodil Delight and so was the present circle. I punched out the Daffodil present with the 3/4 inch Circle punch and layered it onto a Rich Razzleberry circle that I cut out with the Circles#2 Big Shot die. I colored the sentiment with my Crumb Cake and Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write markers, stamped it on Whisper White and punched it out with the Word Window punch. I layered that onto a Crumb Cake piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, some 1/8 inch Dafffodil Delight taffeta ribbon finishes it off.

MOJO163 Cake

This card is my try at MOJO#163 here.
It came together pretty quickly! I started with a Very Vanilla base and added Riding Hood Red card stock and DSP from Love Letter. I used my Scallop Square bigz die to cut a square from Early Espresso and just trimmed it down for a mat. On Very Vanilla I stamped the cake base from On a Pedestal in Early Espresso. I used my markers to color the cake and cherry in Riding Hood Red and Early Espresso. I used the Decorative Label punch on some more Love Letter DSP. I stamped the sentiment from Party Hearty in Riding Hood Red on Very Vanilla. I punched that out with the Word Window punch and layered that on to a Riding Hood Red piece punched with the Modern Label punch. Finally, I added some retired Riding Hood Red ribbon.
Here's my recipe:

Patterns DSP Brights Birthday for Patrick

It's my nephew, Patrick's second birthday party today and here's the card I made for him. He's such a bright spot in our lives so I thought I'd make him a really bright and fun card.
The base is Whisper White card stock. I ran a piece of Chocolate Chip thru the Big Shot with the Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder. I used the 1 3/8 inch square punch to punch out the following colors from the Patterns DSP Brights stack: Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pacific Point and Rich Razzleberry. I used the same color Stampin Write markers to color the stamp from Party Hearty. I stamped "look who's turning" from On Your Birthday in Chocolate Chip and punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. That was layered on to a Real Red piece punched with the 1 3/4 inch circle punch and popped up with Stampin dimensionals.
Happy Birthday Patrick!

Another Party Hearty Card

Since I had my Party Hearty set sitting on my desk, and I saw this cute card by Sarah Jane Kale I thought I'd make my own version.
I started with a base of Pear Pizzazz and added some Greenhouse Gala DSP. All the stamps are from Party Hearty and I colored them with Baha Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Pear Pizzazz and Pumpkin Pie Stampin Write markers. Whisper White was punched with the 1 3/8 inch square punch and layered onto a piece of Chocolate Chip. The party hats were colored with the markers, cut out and turned upside down to look like a pennant. A teeny tiny strip of Chocolate Chip was adhered to look like string. Happy Birthday from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Chocolate Chip and punched out with the Word Window punch. Finally, I added a piece of 1/2 inch Pear Pizzazz stitched-poly.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Party Hearty and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Mojo #150 Party Hearty with Travel Journal DSP

This is my take on the MojoMonday sketch#150 here.
I can never have enough masculine cards so I thought of the Travel Journal DSP with this sketch.
I started with a base of Night of Navy and layered on some Crumb Cake. The different papers are all from the Travel Journal DSP and coordinate so great! The only stamping on this card is the "celebrate you" from Party Hearty stamped in Night of Navy.I punched that with the XL 1 3/4 circle punch and layered a Pumpkin Pie circle that I cut with the Circles #2 Sizzix die.I stamped the present in Pumpkin Pie, punched it out with the 3/4 inch circle punch and popped it up with Stampin dimensionals. A piece of 1/4 inch Night of Navy grosgrain and two silver brads finish it off.
Here's my recipe:
Stamps: Party Hearty

PPA#52 Party Hearty

This is my take on the PPA#52 Sketch Challenge here.
I started with a card stock base of Pacific Point and added some paper from the Patterns DSP Brights stack. The Pumpkin Pie striped paper is also from that stack. I colored the "b" image with Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive stampin write markers. I stamped the present in Pacific Point, punched that out with the 3/4 inch circle punch and popped that up with a Stampin dimensional. The party hats were colored with Old Olive, Pacific Point, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red Stampin write markers and popped up with dimensionals too. A piece of 5/8 inch Old Olive grosgrain finishes it off.

MOJO145 Celebrate

I had a few minutes to stamp so I created this card for the MojoMonday sketch #145 here.
I began with a Bashful Blue card stock base. I then ran a piece of Garden Green thru the Big Shot with the bigger polka dot Backgrounds 1 texturz plate. I stamped "celebrate"from Party Hearty in Garden Green on Whisper White and punched that out with the 1 3/4 inch Extra-large circle punch. A circle of Pumpkin Pie cut with the Coluzzle is layered onto that. And I stamped the "celebrate" again in Pumpkin Pie and cut out the center circle. The hats were colored with the Bashful Blue and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' write markers and cut out and adhered to the square. The striped paper is from Travel Journal DSP in the Summer Mini. The present was stamped in Garden Green and punched out with the 3/4 inch medium circle punch. Finally,  the Extra-large star punch was used on Bashful Blue card stock and that was popped up with a Stampin' dimensional.

PPA#38 Teal Birthday

This birthday card is for the PPA#38 sketch challenge here.

I'm really gonna miss the Sweet Pea DSP that I used here but it's such a great value cuz you get so many different patterns. I used 4 stamp sets on this one: Birthday Bliss, Party Hearty, Think Happy Thoughts and Teeny Tiny Wishes.

The top and bottom squares were colored with the Pumpkin Pie and Taken with Teal Stampin Write markers then punched out with the 1 1/4 inch square punch. On the middle square I stamped happy birthday in Taken with Teal then added a popped up present image from Party Hearty that I stamped in Pumpkin Pie. Happy Birthday from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in Taken with Teal on Pumpkin Pie card stock then punched out with the Curly Label punch.

Here's my recipe:

Mojo Birthday Card

It's my sister's birthday on Sunday so I made her this card using the Mojo Monday sketch #124 here. Her card matches the little purse present I made here that she'll be getting this weekend.

I started by running a piece of Real Red thru the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots textured impressions folder. I used the Party Hearty stamp set by inking the "celebrate you"and "party hearty" in Real Red. I punched each out with the Scallop Circle punch and Word Window punch, respectively. I added the Modern Label punch in Real Red on the upper portion. I used Chocolate Chip from the Scallop Circle #2 Big Shot die under the bottom part. There's also a Chocolate Chip 1 inch circle punch layered under the Pretty in Pink present that was punched with the 3/4 inch circle punch and popped up with a Stampin dimensional. A piece of Chocolate Chip punched with the Scallop Edge punch and a 5/8 inch Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.

I colored the party hats with Chocolate Chip, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin' write markers and inked up the sentiment with Old Olive.

MOJO121 Birthday Cupcake

Here's a birthday card for the MojoMonday Sketch #121.

I used the Thoroughly Modern DSP, Think Happy Thoughts and Party Hearty stamp sets and the Big Bold Cupcakes Sizzlits 4-pack dies. There wasn't much stamping on this one! I stamped the present with Rose Red, punched it with the 3/4 inch circle punch and added a Stampin' dimensional. Then the"happy birthday" circle was stamped in Bermuda Bay and punched out with the 1 1/4 inch circle punch. That was layered on a piece of Bermuda Bay punched with the 1 3/8 inch circle punch. And that was layered on a Rose Red piece punched with the Scallop circle punch. I used a white gel pen to add some dots to the scallops. The cupcake was created with the Sizzlits. A piece of 1/2 inch Bermuda Bay polka-dot grosgrain ribbon finishes it off.
