Have you every wanted a simple, versatile stamp and die set that can become whatever you want it to be? Well, let me introduce the Make A Wish ATC stamp set with coordinating die. What a great way to bring in the New Year, a special person’s Birthday, a great gift tag on a PRESENT, a CAKE TOPPER, . . .  I can go on and on!!!

This post will feature a bright and cheery birthday card as one of the card challenge entries on Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #298. Here is the featured sketch challenge:

This card was so quick and simple to make. I started out with a Watermelon Fusion card base; then, placed a Tangerine Fusion mat on top. The designer paper (I hate to admit is retired – but, Colorful Journey or Playful Prints  will work – see supplies) has a rectangle shape cut from the middle using one of the Journey Rectangle dies. The Tangerine Fusion frame is next and it is popped up using Small Foam Squares.

TIP: Use the same rectangle die to cut out the middle portion of the designer paper as well as the center portion of the Tangerine Fusion cardstock to create the frame. This will allow your layers to line up easily.

The Make A Wish sentiment is stamped onto Pineapple Smoothie cardstock with Tangerine Fusion ink. The sentiment was die cut with the coordinating die and Journey Glaze was added to create a focal point. It is popped up with the Medium Foam Squares to add greater dimension to the card.

TIP: Use a positioning tool like the MISTI to stamp the image multiple times creating a deep, rich, vibrantly colored  sentiment.

The final touches are the Rainbow Drops just below the sentiment and the Tangerine Fusion Gingham ribbon.

Last week I received my Fun Stampers Journey order and in that order was my new 8 1/2 x 11 FSJ Gel Press. Yes, Fun Stampers Journey has joined up with Gel Press to offer an exclusive to FSJ 8 1/2 x 11 Gel Press. It is so much fun! I love it!

This past Saturday I was demonstrating to a couple of my class attendees how you can create awesomely unique paper for card making. I played around with FSJ Limeade Splash and Pineapple Smoothie Acrylic paints along with the Starburst Lines stencil on the Gel Press. I made quite a few different designs with acrylic paint, splashes, and the Fusion ink pads. Once I had finished, I set them aside to use later.

That being said, I looked at the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge 301 and decided one of those designs would make a clean card. Here is the sketch:

For the designed piece on my card, I took the design I created with the FSJ Limeade Splash (JM-0101) and Pineapple Smoothie (JM-0023) acrylic paints. To create this design, I placed several small dots of each color onto the Gel Press (JM-0107) and using my brayer (TO-0087), I tapped across them lighting to create a solid layer, BUT not blended enough to loose each separate color. I placed my FSJ Starburst Stencil (JM-0007) onto the paint then placed a piece of 5 1/4″ x 4″ FSJ Whip Cream card stock (CS-0040) and rubbed my hand across the back making sure to press firmly down so the card stock would pick up the paint between the plastic of the stencil. I pulled it off and there you go. It was just that easy. You can then pull the stencil up and get another impression off of the Gel Press. I made some flowers from the FSJ Summer Pretties punch (TO-0007) using left over impressions of this design. To accent the flowers I placed FSJ Fashion Gold (AC-0292) embellishments in their centers. The sentiment is from FSJ Punny Punny stamp set (SS-0421). A thin strip of FSJ Whip Cream card stock is showing below the designed paper. All of this is adhered to FSJ Electric Lime card stock (CS-0123).
