I have been organizing all of my Stampin Up! supplies to make room for all of the new colours I received this week in my sneek peek order. I realize that I have TOO much paper. Without buying another piece of card stock, I think I have enough paper to last me years and years. The crazy part is, there are new designer series paper packs coming out in the new catalogue that I know I am going to end up buying. I seriously need to stop! hahahaha

I downloaded the Summertime Splendor Designer Series Paper for My Digital Studio and I love it!!! I printed it off and used it to make this very pretty card. It goes very well with all of the traditional card making elements.

This card is designed similar to the VERY FIRST card I ever mad, way back in March of this year. It was at a stamping class at Blair's. The card we made looked like this so I decided to change it up a bit, using a different sentiment and colours. This is the first time I have used Taken With Teal and I really like it!!

Paper: Taken With Teal, Whisper White

I saw a card similar to this on Split Coast stampers and tried to replicate it as best as I could.
I started out with a piece of Whisper White card stock measuring 5.5" X 8.5". (5.5" X 4.25" folded in half) I measured a piece of Basic Black card stock to be 5.25" X 4" and adhered it to the Whisper White. I measured a piece of Bashful Blue DSP to be 5" X 3.75" and adhered it to the Basic Black.

I then measured out another piece of Basic Black card stock to be 1.75" X 4" and adhered it part way down on the card, as shown below. I measured a piece of Rose Red Card Stock to be 1.5" X 4" and stamped the party favour from the Crazy For Cupcakes stamp set on it using the Stamp A Ma Jig and Rose Red ink. I adhered that on top of the smaller Basic Black piece.

I measured out piece of Whisper White to be 4.5" X 2" and rounded the top two corners using a corner rounder punch. Using the same stamp set and the Stamp A Ma Jig, I stamped 5 balloons in basic black. I then stamped 5 balloons using pieces of scrap paper and cut them out. I adhered them on top of the baloons to make a colourful array and used a Stampin Up Dimensional to adhere the top one.

I "tied" them all together using a piece of Bashful Blue ribbon and adhered the Whisper White to the card, completing it.

I got the idea for this card from my usual source of inspiration, Split Coast Stampers. I replaced the greeting with a happy birthday greeting and swapped the colours for my own.
