Happy Birthday, Kim!

Stampin up enjoy kim birthday

Bravo Burgundy and More Mustard are unlikely color partners (and, yes, I discovered these colors together in J. Crew).  However, I wanted something unique and pretty for my friend and a member of my Stampin' Pretty Pals, Kim.  Check out these adorable coasters she shares on her blog, Stamp, Scrap and Get Kreative.

This interesting layout from Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge charmed me, too.  The card base is 4.25 x 5.5 in Stampin' Up!'s luxurious Bravo Burgundy card stock (scored at the top).  The left corner circle is in More Mustard, cut and embossed with Circle Nestabilities. TIP:  Dry Embossing with Stampin' Up!'s Floral Frenzy Classy Brass Template looks striking on textured card stock.  I dotted 1/4" circles in mustard along the edge for a little amusement.

The sentiment is from Enjoy Every Moment (I'm a fan of big block sentiments) and is stamped in Bravo Burgundy on Very Vanilla.  Burgundy and mustard layers follow.  The corners are wrapped with a touch of More Mustard 1/4" Grosgrain.  A Flower Fusion felt flower and Circle Rhinestone dress up the letter "o."

I tucked in "every moment" (Bravo Burgundy ink on More Mustard) and jazzed the bottom using a Scallop Edge Punch. TIP:  Think balance when embellishing.  The larger fusion flower mirrors the "o" in "enjoy" and is layered on 1 1/4" Mustard and 1 3/8" Burgundy Circle Punches.  I attached this final element with Stampin' Dimensionals for a three dimensional pop!

  1. Great layout Mary! Bravo Burgundy is a great color!! Now I’m scared to make Kim a card after yours and all of hers~but how can I justify a Hallmark card??! Happy Birthday Kim!

  2. Yep – I’m also an alumni of a school with maroon and gold as the school colors! Go Bombers! Seemed fine for that purpose, but when my brain started putting together those colors after reading the e-mail, I wasn’t liking what I was imagining — good thing you’re here, Mary, to broaden our minds with your creativity! This card looks terrific!

  3. What a fun-filled card! I had to laugh when I first saw this…..growing up, we wore these colors at school all the time, as our school colors were maroon & gold! It brought back some long-forgotten memories!!!

  4. I can’t believe those colors work together. But it looks good. And there is a high school in our area, and these are their school colors.
    I like the extra pop with the circles on the stamped wording.

  5. I’m always in awe of your willingness to step outside the color wheel and go for a ride! Wonderful combo. I love the use of the small circles with the offset large one. You’re the bomb!
