Welcome!  It’s that time — what time is that you ask!  Time for Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop.  On the second Tuesday of each month, you can always find a group of talented stampers that make up a part of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew showcasing their talent by creating cards for our Blog Hop! Our theme for December is “Celebrate”.  We can interpret “Celebrate” however we chose, so I am creating a birthday card. Be sure you check out each person’s blog, you will find much talent and inspiration.  You may even find that you would like to CAS(E) one of the cards.  Well let’s begin, I know you are wanting to see all the awesome cards.

I made a similar card to this one on October 22.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Stamp Set. I am making the card in blues as it is a birthday card.  While making this card, I realize this is a set that can be used for a variety of cards.  The card base is Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray card stock.  A panel of Stampin’ Up! Silver Foil Sheets card stock is used as the mat for the Stampin’ Up! Feels Like Frost DSP background panel.

The frames for the cardinal is cropped from a Stampin’ Up! Silver Foil Sheets using one of the Stampin’ Up! Frosted Frames Dies.  I had used up my Silver Glimmer card stock so this made a good substitute. The cardinal is cropped from a panel of Stampin’ Up! Seaside Spray card stock and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink.  The branch the bird is on is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light and Dark Seaside Spray and Light Old Olive.  I know this color is not in the challenge but hoping it will be ok as I noticed some of the DT has other colors.  

The Happy Birthday is from  Stampin’ Up! Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and is stamped in Stampin’ Up! Night of Navy ink on a scrap from cropping the bird.  It makes a great label for the greeting would you not agree?

The inside sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Everything Is RosyStamp Set is stamped in ‘Stampin’ Up! Night Of Navy ink.  An image from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Stamp Set is stamped in the lower corner of the sentiment panel.

My Stampin’ Up! Whisper White envelope flap got an image from the Stampin’ Up! Toile Christmas Stamp Set stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Blends Markers in Light Balmy Blue and Light Old Olive.  A tree image was stamped in the right lower corner of the envelope front

My inspiration for this card comes from the TGIF #241 Challenge.
