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.

Listed below are all the products I used to make this card.  If you live in Australia, and would like to shop with me for your Stampin' Up! supplies, you can get to my online store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images at the bottom of this post.

Stampin' Up!'s new rewards program is (in my opinion) much-improved.  All you have to do, to start earning rewards (to use against future order totals), is purchase $35 or more of Stampin' Up! product.

STAMPIN' UP! MIXED FLORALS CONEFLOWER BIRTHDAY CARD

 Whilst I love the large tulip stamp in the Mixed Florals bundle, I also really like the coneflowers, or echinacea.  The large images are a delight to colour with Stampin' Blends Markers.

This background paper is one of my favourite patterns in the Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper packs.  I love the slightly unexpected inclusion of Boho Blue - one of my favourite colours, that  will be retiring from Stampin' Up!'s range in the first week of May. 😞

Here's a closer look at the texture and detail on my card.  The two rectangles were cut using Textured Notes Dies (you may notice I am loving those at the moment!).  The Calypso Coral layer is Two-Tone Cardstock, from the Storybook Life pack, and the smaller rectangle is Basic White - which has also been embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.

I used Stampin' Blends Markers to colour the flowers and foliage.  The Calypso Coral and Boho Blue embellishments are Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.  In addition to the main image, I stamped, coloured and die-cut an extra sprig of the smaller flowers.

The sentiment, from Sweetly Scripted, was stamped in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White card.  I used a label die from the Delicate Forest Dies to cut it out.

While the news is fresh, I'm going to continue sharing details of Stampin' Up!'s new Stampin' Rewards Program - because I think it is a huge improvement.  Everyone who orders $35 or more of product now gets to earn rewards; how good is that?!

STAMPIN' UP! HOT AIR BALLOON BIRTHDAY CARD FEATURING PETUNIA POP

 I really love the five new In Colors added to Stampin' Up!'s range this year.  Look how pretty they are:

Today's card was made to showcase Petunia Pop, but I have also used Summer Splash, and a teensy bit of Pretty in Pink.  These three colours are in the gorgeous floral paper, from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper pack, that I have used along the bottom of my card front.

I started off with a panel of Basic White card, which I partially embossed with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.  I left a smooth section at the top of the card, which enabled me to stamp the sentiment.  I used the Sweetly Scripted stamp set, and Petunia Pop ink.

I stamped the two larger hot air balloons in Petunia Pop ink on Basic White card.  One balloon was decorated with a scalloped piece die-cut from Petunia Pop card.  The other has the middle section stamped in Summer Splash ink.  The slightly smaller balloon was stamped in Petunia Pop ink on a piece of striped paper from the Unbounded Beauty DSP pack.  I sponged the edges with Petunia Pop ink, too.  The balloon baskets were die-cut from Petunia Pop, Summer Splash and Pretty in Pink card.

From Basic White card (with Adhesive Sheet on the back), I die-cut a few clouds.  They were adhered to the embossed panel before I added the balloons.  I used a Flowers of Beauty Die to cut some flowers from Summer Splash and Petunia Pop card.  The flower centres are 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots.

Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon was added, to finish off the design of my card front.  All the layers were adhered to a thin mat of Summer Splash card, then the Thick Basic White card base.
