STAMPIN' UP! FRAMES & FLOWERS BIRTHDAY CARD

Today I have another card in my Frames & Flowers series, showing off the beauty of Stampin' Up!'s Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.

The background paper, sponged around the edges with Lost Lagoon ink, is mounted on a slightly larger panel of Lost Lagoon card.  Before attaching this piece to the Thick Basic White card base, I added a horizontal strip of Petal Pink patterned paper to the bottom of the card front.

Here's a closer look at the cluster of focal details.  I cut two circles using Spotlight on Nature Dies, using Basic White and Petal Pink card.  The larger circle has been sponged around the edges with Petal Pink ink.  Using a Fun Patterns embossing folder, I partially embossed the Basic White circle.  I then put the piece back in the embossing folder, after flipping it around, and partially embossed the opposite side.  This left an unembossed strip in the middle, for me to stamp the sentiment on.  I used Petal Pink ink, and the Simply Said stamp set, to do this.

I cut a couple of flowers from the floral Petal Pink DSP, using Sentimental Park Dies.  The edges of the flowers are sponged with Petal Pink ink.  To create the flower centres, I used a Natural Tones Deep Stampin' Blends Marker to dab colour onto white Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs.  I wanted a tortoiseshell effect.  The small leaves, and the floral spray on the left-hand side of the card, are die-cut pieces from the Frames & Flowers pack.  I sponged the edges of the small leaves with Lost Lagoon ink.

The bow, made with Petal Pink 1/4" Diagonal Trim, was adhered with Mini Glue Dots.

STAMPIN' UP! FRAMES & FLOWERS BIRTHDAY CARD FEATURING PRETTY PEACOCK

The featured details on today's card are all die-cut pieces, from the Frames & Flowers Specialty DSP pack.  I have used a couple of the patterned papers, too.

The patterned papers in the background have been sponged around the edges - the bottom layer with Petal Pink ink, and the Pretty Peacock layer with Pretty Peacock ink.

Here you can see I've tucked behind the largest floral die-cut some smaller pieces, and added a couple of die-cut flowers on top.

The sentiment, from Sweetly Scripted, was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink, directly onto the die-cut piece.

I laid some Petal Pink 1/4" Diagonal Trim across the card front, and added a bow made from Pretty Peacock & Gold Metallic Ribbon.  Mini Glue Dots help hold the ribbon in place.  Finally, I added some Tinsel Gems to finish off my design.

STAMPIN' UP! FRAMES & FLOWERS THINKING OF YOU CARD

Today's card is simple, and sweet.  Lovely soft colours and papers, along with a great big sentiment,  provide all the details.

I adhered a die-cut frame, from Frames & Flowers, to a piece of Basic White card.  In the opening, I stamped the sentiment, from Softly Said, in Soft Sea Foam ink.

Using Sentimental Park Dies, I cut some flowers from DSP in the Frames & Flowers pack.  I sponged the edges with Petal Pink ink, and added Petal Pink Foiled Gems to the centres.

The focal part of my card is matted on a Petal Pink card layer.  Before adhering it to the Thick Basic White card base, I added a vertical strip of the same paper I'd used for the flowers, sponged around the edges with Petal Pink ink.

Using the Dark Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Marker, I coloured some White 1/4" Diagonal Trim.  I used it to create my bow, which is attached with Mini Glue Dots.  Stampin' Blends (alcohol-based) Markers are great for custom-colouring ribbon and other embellishments; it's one of my favourite techniques for colour matching.
