Birthday: Game On!

Our family loves to play games together- from board games to video games! A few of our favorites are:

  • Killer Uno (card game)
  • Perpetual Commotion (some call it Nertz)
  • Splendor (strategy)
  • Anything Mario (video)
  • Overcooked (video)

Seeing the “Level Complete” stamp set on my shelf reminded me that my son (an avid gamer) is adding an extra (year to his) life this month, so that’s where my imagination went when I saw today’s #tgifc463 Sketch Challenge.

I turned the sketch sideways and used the game controllers as the focal point:

The black & white designs on the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper are truly awesome whenever you need a masculine background!

A black card is striking with Daffodil Delight and Tahitian Tide, just remember to add a white layer on the inside to write on.

While we are the subject of Tahitian Tide (a 2022-2024 In Color), remember that it’s one of these bright hues retiring at the end of April, 2024, and we don’t really have any bright turquoise to replace it right now, so order an ink refill for your ink pads and card stock of the same color for coordination!

Does your family have a favorite game to play together? Tell me!

To re-create this card, you can click on the supplies listed and order from my Stampin’ Store- that helps me so I can continue to bring you great ideas you are welcome to copy. or spark your own imagination!

Jungle Pals Center Pop-Up Card

10 days left in Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-Bration 2024, with your window to choose free gifts narrowing quickly…so today we are taking a look at one of the options I haven’t shown before: The Jungle Pals stamp set.

Jungle Pals Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration 2024 Rainbow Card

As one of your options to choose with $50 order (until 2/29/24), I wanted to show an easy way to use just the stamp set (there is an additional coordinating die set you could select with another $100 purchase).

Start with a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ black card stock base. I added a piece of the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper colored with Stampin’ Write markers to the top right side, and simply stamped the animals on 1-1/4″ square colored card stock pieces. Frame each animal in 1-3/8″ white card stock and tile onto the front of the card.

For the inside, you’ll need a 5-1/4″ x 8-1/4″ white card stock. Refer to video tutorial for instructions for easy pop-up mechanism instructions.
