Watt’s Up Birthday Card


After a very busy Easter weekend I did get to spend a little time crafting this afternoon.  I have a friend who enjoys punny messages, so this card is perfect for his birthday which is coming up this next week.  Finished in time to get it in the mail tomorrow!



This set by Your Next Stamp is Perfect Chemistry is a fun set to use because I am a Chemistry teacher.  The image is stamped on white card stock with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black and then was colored with Chameleon pens.  Bubblegum (PK3), Cool Grey (CG8), Seville Orange (OR4), and Summer Sun (YL02).  I also like the YNS line because there are matching dies for these fun images that make it quick to die cut a colored character.  

The speech bubble is from Hero Arts Stamp & Cuts “Yes”.  It is die cut from white card stock, and before removing the shape I used a fine tip Zig black marker to run a thin line around the edge.  The YNS sentiment was masked to be able to stamp the “Watt’s” and “up?” in two lines rather than the way the image is designed in one line.  This allowed the sentiment to fit in the bubble. 



The light yellow card stock and yellow patterned paper are from my scrap paper stash and were trimmed to 4” x 5 ¼” and 3 ¾” x 5”.  The orange card stock banner was adhered across the patterned paper along with the Recollection’s Washi tape.  The A circle was die cut from the center of all the layers using Spellbinders Standard Circles Large.   This layer was adhered with dimensional foam adhesive.  The Light Bulb and sentiment were then adhered.

The YNS sentiment is stamped in the interior of the card with Tsukineko Memento Tuxedo Black to finish off the perfect birthday card for my friend.

This card was inspired by and entered into the following challenges


Mine is November andthe primary color of the card is yellow like the Topaz.
