Hello, stamping friends! This week, I’m joining the @GlobalDesignProject challenge, and it’s a CASE the Designer challenge featuring a beautiful card by Janneke de Jong! As soon as I saw her design, I loved the clean layout and soft ink blending, so I used it as inspiration for my playful birthday card. 🐶🎉
Here’s the card I created:
Creating This Card
The One More Year stamp set has the cutest images, and this little party pup stole my heart. I stamped him in Memento Black ink and colored him with Stampin’ Blends, adding some shading for extra dimension. His party hat needed a little pop, so I used bright colors and a touch of Wink of Stella for shimmer. ✨
To CASE Janneke’s design, I focused on the soft ink-blended background, clean layout, and narrow colored borders. I used Pool Party ink with a Blending Brush to create a subtle glow behind my focal image. This technique keeps the design fresh and light while drawing attention to the stamped image.
The Finishing Touches
To frame the card, I added two narrow strips of Ombre glimmer paper along the edges of the front panel and sprinkled gems across the front of the card—just a hint of shine to tie everything together. The sentiment, “Happy Birthday,” is stamped in black for a crisp, bold look. I love how CASE-ing Janneke’s card gave me a chance to put my own playful spin on her elegant design!
Here is a full list of the supplies I used:
