Birthday Package
A package as cute as this would be
hard to open! This printed gift wrap is stripe on one side and white on the other. When the gift
was wrapped, the paper was folded back to create a pleat so the gift tag has a place to sit and so you
have a white border to decorate.
Items used:
4865C - happy birthday
Punch - daisy
Eyelets - chartreuse

Flowers For You
We're excited about all the
design possibilities using the new colored mini brads. Here we used a

stamped in white and then embossed using white powder. A bit of color was
added using colored pencils.
Items used:
4803C - flowers in vase
Mini Brads - winter white
Primacolor pencils

Paper Flowers
This card was made by first
stamping the image in black on a piece of white cardstock. The flowers were
colored in using prismacolor pencils. Three of the burgundy paper
flowers were then glued in place using crafters pick. The flowers add the
fun touch that makes this card stand out. I love the colors used here
too. Notice how the burgundy matting accents the flowers.
Items used:
4802D - flowers in vase
Primacolor pencils
Paper flowers - burgundy

Three Scribble Flowers
We couldn't resist using the
new mini black brads as centers for our fun scribble flower. After
stamping and embossing each flower, make a small hole with a 1/16" anywhere
hole punch in each center. This allows you to insert the brad without
creasing the paper. Attach the brads and then glue the layers of paper
together. The backs of the brads are now hidden.
Items used:
4870C - small scribble flower
Mini brads - black
Anywhere hole punch - 1/16"
Colorbox ink - parchment

Happy Birthday Photo Card
What could be more personal than putting someone's picture on their birthday
card. We love to make photo copies of photos onto vellum paper as the photos
take on a wonderful new look. Here we attached the photocopy behind a
Memory Box circle window card. We enhanced the window by attaching cut
outs from the fern punch and finished it off by stamping happy
birthday.
Items used:
C4865 - happy birthday '02
Punch - fern
Colorbox ink - celadon

You're Invited to a Party
Celebrate a special birthday with a special invitation. We love using the
Garamouche computer font when making invitations. It gives you a chance to
say exactly what you want to say with style! We printed the invitation on
vellum and then layered the vellum onto a piece of meadow colored
cardstock. We attached the layers with white brads. Party stamps
were inked with Brilliance ink as this new ink dries on vellum.
Items used:
4777B - party hat
Brads - white
Impress paper - meadow
Brilliance Ink - lime

Birthday Surprise Card (version 1)
Designed by Jennie Duke, this card is a great example of the wonderful things you can do with the Impress blocks. Click on the
card and you'll see an enlarged version. Notice how by inking the block stamps really good, you get a nice solid colored background.
If you want a softer look, simply stamp the image first on scratch paper and then stamp a second time on your good paper without
reinking your stamp. The block was stamped two times using seaglass and then two times using parchment ink. Jennie then stamped the small solid daisy
stamp using white ink. A Leplume marker was used to add the orange center of the flower. After masking off the flowered squares,
the birthday surprises stamp was inked with fawn and then stamped over the parchment colored squares.
Items used:
4748C - birthday surprise
4704A - small solid daisy
4703A - solid block
Colorbox ink - seaglass, parchment and white
Impress ink - fawn

To attach the wood piece to the card we used
