Hi friends, Sam here! I love this fiesta-inspired birthday card! I started by stamping Year Nine tacos, Thankful Mice cheese, Virtual Friends Add-On banner, Let’s Toast avocados, Be Hap-pea little tomatoes and Really High Five balloons! Whew!


They were all colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then I added some details with a white gel pen. Of course, I couldn’t resist adding some faces for all of the foods! ha! Then everything was cut out with their coordinating dies.


For the background, I used some white stencil paste and the Brick Stencil to add some tone-on-tone neutral texture. I love how that looks!

I heat embossed most of the sentiment with white embossing powder onto Black Licorice Cardstock, using the Harold’s ABCs stamp set. The rest of the sentiment was stamped in a rainbow of Distress Oxide Inks and then embossed with clear embossing powder onto vellum. It was also die-cut using the Fancy Wavy Banners.

Thank you so much for this adorable Fun with Food inspiration, Samantha! I love this fun and punny birthday card!

Samantha’s Grape-tastic Birthday Card

- Nancy Krueger 3 Comments

We can’t wait to see your Challenge 129 – Fun with Food creativity! This challenge will be open until Sunday, July 31 at 11:59PM ET. Let’s see who has the recipe for crafty fun!

Samantha joins us today with adorable inspiration! Her grape-themed design is so cute with its punny greeting!

This adorable cluster of smiley-faced grapes was stamped using Be Hap-pea! Samantha colored them in shades of purple using Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Then she arranged them with leaves and a “stem” from A Bug Deal!

She inked up the background with Distress Oxide inks (see supply list below for the colors she used). Then she finished this adorable birthday card with a punny custom sentiment using Harold’s ABCs.

Thanks so much for this charming inspiration, Samantha!
