In Color Week: Lemon Lime Twist with Happy Birthday Gorgeous!
June 06, 2017
For today's 2017-2019 In Color feature, I'm sharing a Two For Tuesday project using Lemon Lime Twist. I'm seeing this becoming a very popular color. It pairs nicely with a lot of colors.
With the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set, you'll get balloons and flowers, and messages, oh my! Create the perfect card or gift packaging for any birthday you care to celebrate.
Happy Birthday Gorgeous - quick & cute card
- Stamp greeting repeatedly on 1/2" x 5-1/4" strip of Lemon Lime Twist with Wisteria Wonder ink. Adhere to 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock.
- Die cut 1-7/8" circle (Layering Circle Framelits) from scrap paper/cardstock to use as a template. Place circle on white panel and lightly trace with pencil. Remove circle.
- Stamp images (Happy Birthday Gorgeous) stamp set as follows:
- Happy Birthday = Wisteria Wonder ink (inside circle)
- Stamp flowers so they slightly cross over the edge of the "penciled" circle
- 5-Petal Flowers = Coral Calypso ink (stamp outline image first, then stamp off for solid image)
- Roses = Wisteria Wonder ink (stamp outline image first, then stamp off for solid image)
- Leaves = Lemon Lime Twist

- NOTE: you may find, like I did...that you get some little "dots" from your stamping. To make them look like they should be there, use matching Stampin' Write Markers to add more dots here & there.
- Erase pencil marks when dry
- Stamp flowers so they slightly cross over the edge of the "penciled" circle
- Adhere completed panel to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Wisteria Wonder card base. Adhere additional 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock to inside of card.
- Die cut 1-7/8" circle window from card front, and trace lightly with a pencil the window through to the inside of card.
- On the inside of the card...stamp "Happy Birthday" with Wisteria Wonder ink (inside circle). Stamp flower and leaves just outside the circle area. Erase circle.

- Stamp label image with Basic Gray ink and greeting with Coral Calypso ink. Cut with Classic Label Punch and adhere with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
- Place Subtles Enamel Shapes in a visual triangle.
The Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre ribbon is the perfect accent for this card!
Aren't they both beautiful? Whether you have a little or a lot of time to create a card, either of these Happy Birthday Gorgeous cards would do the trick!
