Spectacular Celebration

 I love everything about this card especially the layout to use up a bunch of scraps of coordinating DSP.   Even though all the supplies to make this card are now retired including the Garden Impressions DSP, the Picture Perfect Birthday and Birthday Cheer Stampin Up stamp sets, I plan to use this design in the future.

Birthday Wish

 I am so sad that the How Sweet it is DSP retired from Stampin Up.  The paper was perfect for birthdays!   Also retired is the Large Letters Dies and the Picture Perfect stamp set for the candle. I added a piece of striped ribbon to add some additional texture.

Jungle celebration

46916 To set the scene for today’s card Cammie used the giraffe print die from the Animal Friends #146823 Dies from Stampin Up. She also added a strip of DSP from the Tropical Escape DSP #146916.  Cammie then used the Animal Expedition DSP #146902 to die cut the giraffe and also hand cut out the cute little frog. The leaves were cut using the Animal Friends dies and the sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthday #146916 stamp set.

Glimmer Rainbow Cake

 Happy birthday to me!!! To create this fun birthday card- I cut six pieces of card stock in a rainbow of colors.   I then adhered each piece to  Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet and sprinkled them with  Dazzling Diamonds.  After all pieces were coated with the Dazzling Diamonds,  I adhered them to a piece of Whisper White card stock that measures 3″ x 4-1/4″.  When adhering the cake layers down- I left a 1/4″ border on the left side o so I could add frosting later. I also left a small gap between each color to give the appearance of icing between the cake layers. To frost the cake   I used the Shimmery White Embossing Paste.  I first applied a thin layer to the 1/4″ border on the left side of the cake layers.    For the icing on top of the cake, I eyeballed  a wedge to give the appearance of a cake slice and trimmed  away any excess card stock from the top and iced the top with the Shimmery White Embossing Paste in a swirling motion so that it looked realistic.

To complete the card, I added the sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday #145519 and cropped it with a circle punch and  scallop circle mat.

Tropical Celebration

 For today’s birthday card, I CASEd the card on page 120 of the Stampin Up annual catagog featuring the Tropical Escape Product Suite that includes the Tropical Escape #146916, the Tropical Chic #146753 and the coordinating Tropical Framelits #146831.  I added a piece of the Granny Apple Green Textured Ribbon #146920 and the sentiment is from the Picture Perfect Birthday #145519.

Pineapple Punch Birthday

 Today’s bright birthday card features the bright and cheerful Pineapple Punch striped paper from the Stampin Up 2018-2020 DSP paper collection.  The rest of the card was created mostly using carried over Christmas supplies.  The sunflower was created using the Christmas Bulb Builder #148013 Punch and the now retired Making Everyday Bright stamp set. The sentiment is from the Merry Christmas Thinlits #147912  and the Picture Perfect Birthday #145519 stamp set.

Never Ending Birthday card

I had been meaning to attempt to make the never ending card and I made it a birthday themed one using the the Broadway Bound #145519 DSP paper collection, leftovers  from the Broadway Star Paper Pumpkin kit and the Picture Perfect Birthday#145519 stamp set.  A never ending card is not as hard as I thought to make but it sure is fun to open each panel.

Happiest of Birthdays

 The Picture Perfect Birthday#145519 Stampin Up  stampset that I used to make this card has been one of my most used ever stampsets. I would have to say that almost every birthday card I made last year ( over 200) I used it for at least the inside greetings so it is a set that is truly a must have.  The bows were stamped and then hand cut to create a simple and fun birthday card.

Share What You Love Florals

 The Floral papers in the Share What You Love #146926  Specialty DSP collection from Stampin Up.  I especially love this piece of the handpainted flowers in the blue greens,  For this card, I used lots of layering card stocks (tranquil tide, mint macron and white)to bring out the rich colors of from the floral piece.  The Mint Macron layer was textured using the Layered Leaves #143704 Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. For the sentiment I stamped the image from the Picture Perfect Birthday #145519 stamp set onto a Stitched Shapes #145372 piece and I added a piece of Tranquil Tide ribbon to add a little texture to an otherwise simple layout.

Birthday Bows

 Today’s post is another example of the power of the paper! This retired Picture Perfect Party DSP screams birthday so no other accents are needed.  I added the textured layer with the Simple Stripes #145648 Textured Impressions Embossing Folder beneath the DSP panel and then layered the sentiment from the Picture Perfect Birthday #145519 stamp set.
