April Sweet Stampede Blog Hop

Tuesday, April 1, 2025

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!
