Birthday Banners Archives - Shannon Kay Paperie

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for July 2016. We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our new 2016 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects using our favorite Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper as well as coordinating embellishments. What we love about Stampin’ Up! is they make it so easy to mix and match colors. And, the amazing selection of embellishments provides a wonderful finished look to our projects. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below. The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

A quick post today so you can continue hopping along…but really, I’m not sure I could find a theme more suited to me than Stampin’ Up!’s coordinated products! I absolutely LOVE to mix the patterns!

I chose to showcase the Festive Birthday Designer Series Papers. Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, YUM!!

And Stampin’ Up! takes all the guesswork out of the design by having coordinating card stock, ribbons, and embellishments!

I hope you love this mix of colors and patterns!!

Thanks for visiting. To continue with the hop, please refer to the Blog Hop Line-up below. We hope to see you on next month’s Pals Blog Hop!

Blog Hop Line-up:

Believe it or not, the designer series paper I am showcasing today is from the same pack of paper that I used on my Wednesday card, Stampin’ Up’s Blooms & Bliss. I’m enjoying the wide range of colors available in each pack of 12′ x 12′ paper as I feel I can get more mileage from each pack of paper.

The Details:

Once again, I let the paper do the hard part, coordination. I might not know what goes well with Mint Macaron right off the top of my head, but the detail in the flowered paper tells me that Island Indigo and Sahara Sand will pair well.
I typically will mat all of the elements on my project with the same color mat, however, as with many rules, there is always an exception, and this card is it! I mixed up the matting colors to make sure that each patterned paper would “pop”.
The Birthday Banners stamp set when paired with the Banners Framelits makes a quick banner simple! A second banner in Island Indigo provides a striking mat.
The Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder adds a subtle texture.

Stampin’ Up’s gold metallic thread is perfect for adding “just a bit of something”. I love the texture it adds to my project. Applying Snail all over the back of the banner gives lots of sticky surface to adhere the gold thread to. Once finished, I popped the whole thing up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
