SNEAK PEEK: Super Duper for GDP068

The Global Design Project team is CASE’ing a card by the super-talented Jess Williams, and we’re inviting all of you to play along.  Jess has given us a great project to inspire us – and I had a lot of fun using new products to make my card.  Sweet and simple, it’s a perfect way to say “Happy Birthday!”.  Here’s my card that features Super Duper, a new stamp set from the upcoming Occasions Catalog and the Balloon Pop-up Thinlits.  Here’s my card:

GDP068Jess’ card is a beautiful combination of kraft, Night of Navy and Watermelon Wonder.  The unique layout is a standout, too.  Not only did I CASE (Copy and Share Everything) the primary colors Jess used, but I was inspired by the balloon theme and, in a round about way, the layout.  What fun!

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

    • Super Duper.  The new Super Duper stamp set is such a fun set.  I adore this huge, modern birthday sentiment I used on this card.  It doesn’t just say “happy birthday” – this one says “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!”  I love the modern lines that adorn the big sentiment.  I can’t think of a lot of reasons to use the Super Duper sentiment, but I love it and can’t wait to make a pretty card with it.  🙂  Check out the other images and sentiments in this fun, new set:

      I mean, really!  How adorable is this set?!  It’s totally super duper.  🙂

    • Building the Balloon.  This fun, polka-dot balloon and the coordinating string were cropped with the new Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies and the Balloon Bouquet Punch.  Before I tell you how I built this fun balloon, I want you to take a look at this amazing Stampin’ Up! video that shows the many, many uses of the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits:

      Here’s how I built this festive balloon:
      • Punched the large balloon from the Balloon Bouquet punch with Whisper White card stock.
      • Cropped the polka-dot balloon from the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits with Night of Navy cardstock.
      • I glued the Night of Navy (dotted) Balloon on top of the Whisper White (solid) balloon.
      • I cropped the polka-dot balloon from the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits with Watermelon Wonder cardstock.
      • I glued a couple of the polka-dots into the Night of Navy balloon.Super Duper, Ballon Pop-Up Thinlits, Stampin' Up!, Brian King, GDP068
    • Celebratory Color Combo.  I love the colors in Jess’ card, the inspiration for my project.  I love the combination of the dark, rich Night of Navy with the bright joy of Watermelon Wonder.  Together, they are perfectly grounded by the grit of the Kraft cardstock.  I adore the combination and used a fun, retro page of Carried Away Designer Series Paper – one of the items you can earn with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration.  If you like this combination, too, feel free to save this:Stampin' Up!

  6. Hi Brian:

    Been missing you terribly the past week. Love this card – I think it’s perfectly masculine and I have such a hard time making a masculine card! The Happy Birthday message is one of the best I have ever seen. Once I catch up from our trip I need to sit down and take a good look at the Occasions catalog so I don’t miss out on all the great stuff.

  7. Super cute!!!

  8. Very fun! Love the inlaid balloon idea and your red background paper.
