Sunny Birthday

 Well I have reached the end of my birth month celebration and month long posting of birthday cards so I am ending on a sunny post featuring my all time favorite flower- the sunflower! This card is on trend with all the buffalo check stuff everywhere these days. I used the Buffalo Check Background #147797 stamp to create the rustic look. For the focal panel I made the sunflower by punching the petals from the Garden Impressions DSP #146289 using the Christmas Bulb Builder punch #148013. For the bold center, I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits #145372 and added the sentiment from the So Many Shells retired stamp set.

Penguin Birthday

 Today’s birthday post is from my friend Mindi who I just recently introduced to card making and Stampin Up.  In fact during my recent purge of my craft room I gave Mindi some of my left over Stampin Up stuff so she paired that with her own Stampin Up supplies and created this adorable birthday card for her penguin loving friend.  Good job Mindi!

Tropical Celebration

 Today’s birthday post features all products from the Tropical Escape Stampin Up product Suite. I used the Tropical Escape #146916 DSP for the papers, the stamped flowers and leaves are from the Tropical Chic #146753 and then cut out using the coordinating Tropical Thinlits Dies #146831.  The little sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Greetings #146916 Stampin Up stamp set.

Birthdays are Gold

 Today’s post is another birthday card featuring the Broadway Bound #146277 DSP from Stampin Up.  The sentiment is from the now retired Sweet Cupcakes and coordinating Cupcake Cutout Thinlits.

Varied Vases birthday

Today’s birthday card post is from a guest designer and my friend Sheri.  She loves  Stampin Up as much as me and made me this sweet card featuring the Varied Vases #146644 stamp set from Stampin Up.  I absolutely love this card because I don’t own that set (surprise) and the colors are bright and cheery!

Accordian Gift Card Holder

For today’s birthday post I have opted to show an easy birthday gift idea that holds gift cards or other small items and then folds up and is tied with a cute ribbon.  This gift card holder features the Broadway Bound DSP #146277 from Stampin Up.

Be Jolly

 Its the 25th of the month and its time to take a break from the birthday posts to post the monthly Christmas card. This card starts with DSP layer from the Stampin Up In Color DSP #146963. For the feature panel, I textured the whisper white layer with the Swirls and Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder #147923 and added a stamped candy cane from the Candy Cane Season now retired stamp set and punched out with the coordinating Candy Cane punch (retired).  I finished by adding a the sentiment from the Candy Cane Season.

You are my happy

 For today’s birthday card, I used up some scraps from the Toil and Trouble DSP (retired) from Stampin Up.  I added the sentiment from the Country Home #147678 stampset on a layered Stitched Shape #145372 Framelits.

 

Succulent Birthday

 Today’s birthday post is an alternative to the Feb 2019 Grown with Kindness My Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin Up.  I simply just added the sentiment from the Well Said #148796 stamp set and the coordinating Well Written #148534 to the card front and then finished with a sweet twine bow around the cup handle.

Broadway Celebration

I decided to keep making cards using the Broadway Bound #146277 DSP.  To separate the patterns I used a piece of Basic Black Shimmery Ribbon #144129.  The balloons were stamped using the Balloon Celebration #140675 stamp set and then punched out using the coordinating Balloon Bouquet Punch.  The Celebrate You Thinlits #146840 and I coated the sentiment with with layers of the fine tip glue and let it dry to create the glossy look.
