Today I am letting the Stampin Up Patio Party DSP #126916 speak for itself.  This paper is so fun and it is easy to create  a cute and easy birthday card.  The sentiment is from the One in a million stamp set #126382.  This stampset has a a message for the outside and a coordinating message for the inside.  The inside greeting says “that makes you one in a million”.    The card also features the 3/8″ satin stitched ribbon in primrose petals.  This ribbon and the 4 other In Colors are part of the Stampin Up back to spool special during September.   For every $40 in product (before tax and shipping) you are entitled to a free spool of the 3/8 ” satin stitched ribbon,  Hurry this offer ends on Sept 30.

Polka Dot Party

Today’s card is a super cute and quick card that showcases the Patio Party DSP #126916 from the Stampin Up Annual catalog.  I love the big polka dots and all the papers in this line because it screams birthday fun.  I stamped the cake twice, once on whisper white and once on DSP that I cut out and layered on the cake.  Punched out the cake using the  1 3/8″ circle 3119860 and applied it to a midnight muse 1 3/4 inch scallop circle #119854.  Finished it off with a hand cut happy birthday pennant flag,

5 Minute Birthday Card

 The wonderful thing about the Stampin Up DSP is that the paper is pretty enough to standalone and use on a card.  Today’s card is one that I created in less than 5 minutes because it is all about the Patio Party DSP #126916.  The hardest part of this card is deciding which section of the DSP I wanted to cut to create the background.  Once I did that I just added a piece of the summer starfruit 3/8″ stitched ribbon.  (BTW. the 3/8′ stitched ribbon is free with every $40 in qualifying sales through 30 September).  I punched an elegant butterfly #127526 and added some rhinestone bling to complete this 5 minute wonder!

Go ahead and challenge yourself to create a 5 minute card and share it with me and I will post it on this blog.

Patio Party Gift Pocket

 Coming home from Gigi’s Scrapbooking Retreat after a girls weekend full of birthday fun and scrapbooking and card making.  This is the card I made to house Kim’s annual Starbucks gift card that I get her and showcases the Patio Party DSP #126916 from the Stampin Up Annual Catalog.  The front of the card uses 3 selections from the Patio Party DSP and Petite Pocket Bigz XL die #123131 and is velcro closed so that it safely secures the gift card.  I made a ribbon bow from the In color, Primrose Petals and attached the bright little dahlia in midnight muse#127556 and added a gift tag.
