This project from my recent Stamp-a-Stack Class uses the new Vibrant Vases Stamp Set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

Vibrant Vases. Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

The Stamp Set co-ordinates with the fabulous Vases Builder Punch and this card is inspired by the project on Page 22 of the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

I’ve used a combination of Blushing Bride, Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist, along with Whisper white.

It takes a bit of time to stamp, punch and stick the vases on the background, but it is worth the effort.

For the outline of the flowers, it is Berry Burst stamping straight onto the cardstock. But, for the flower fill, the image has been stamped off first to give a lighter look.

‘Happy Birthday!’ is from the Amazing Life Stamp Set and punched out with the Classic Label Punch.

A strip of Baker’s Twine with a bow added to it is the final touch, before layering everything together.

At last week’s Card & Cuppa sessions we used another new stamp set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue, Amazing Life.

Amazing Life from Stampin' Up! Project designed by Karen at HIPPOFROG Designs

The sentiment seemed quite appropriate as Card & Cuppa is held in local cafes and coffee shops that serve delicious cake.

Plus, if you can’t have cake on your Birthday…

Using Gray Granite, the sentiment is stamped all over the background, with the cake stamped on a separate piece.

Everything is mounted onto a Thick Whisper White base card. For the accent colour, I chose Mint Macaron as it’s an all rounder and co-ordinates with lots of other colours.

The cake and word ‘cake’ were coloured using the Watercolor Pencils and then softened using a Blender Pen.
