April Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Welcome to this month's Sweet Stampede Blog Hop! I'm excited to share a fresh card idea using a sketch as inspiration. This month, I'm featuring the Birthday Celebration Bundle along with the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper—two products that make creating birthday cards a breeze. 

I love using a card sketch to spark creativity! For this design, we were given the sketch below for inspiration. 

I chose the soft checked print from the Wildflower Birthday DSP, and paired it with a coordinating Tag and Laser-Cut Cake image. The sentiment comes from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set, and I added a Pretty in Pink Ribbon and Gold Twisted Threat to tie it all together.

To add dimension, I popped up the tag and sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals. The mix of florals and soft hues makes this card perfect for any birthday celebration!

MEASUREMENTS: 

Card Base: Pretty in Pink CS (5-1/2" X 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4")

Base Layer: Wildflower Birthday DSP (2 strips-1-1/2" X 5", 2 strips - 1" X 5")

Tag Layer: Wildflower DSP (4" X 2/38"

Circle Layer: Stylish Shapes Dies (2-5/8")

Banner Layer: Stylish Shapes Dies (1/2" X 2-5/8")

Coffee & a Card - Birthday Celebration Bundle

Hello & welcome! Today, I'm excited to share the sweet birthday card we created during this week's Coffee & a Card session.  This card features the Birthday Celebration Bundle and Wildflower Birthday Specialty Designer Paper from the Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog. 

It came together effortlessly, and the gold accents in the designer series paper add just the right touch of elegance! I love how the colors compliment each other.

I started with a Thick White cardstock base, then layered on some of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and a piece of that gorgeous designer paper.  Before sticking it down with Stampin' Seal, I wrapped a little Twisted Gold Thread around and tied a bow around the layer for a fun extra touch. 

I used the coordinating Die from the bundle to cut the pennant from the designer paper and popped it up on the card using dimensionals.  Then, I stamped the sentiment in Pretty in Pink ink on a scrap piece of Thick White cardstock and glued it to the center of the pennant.

To finish off the card, I added a layer of Blueberry Bushel and Thick White cardstock to the inside and dressed up the corner with a laser-cut flower from the designer paper pack. Then I scattered a few Antique Pearls to the front for a little more glam.  I hope you love this projects as much as I loved creating it.
