30th Birthday Girl!

 

I made a pop up card for my daughter Amanda's 30th birthday which was on this past Saturday July 12th using the Wildflower Birthday suite. I have a Pool Party Base and I used lots of the Wildflower Birthday DSP and cut outs, I stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink with the Birthday celebrations set. The numbers were cut from gold foil paper. 

Have a beautiful day and thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Gallery For The Pals Blog Hop

 

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Favorites of the New Annual Catalog.” Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting the fun, there are lots to get you inspired for your next project. So, click through the lineup to “hop” along and see how we are inspired by these beautiful new products. You’re bound to find a few new favorites—and some inspiration along the way!

I love the new Beautiful Gallery suite on pages 52-57 in the new 2025-26 annual catty! Here I am using many elements of the suite. I am attracted to the gold, the antique/vintage feel of the suite plus the gorgeous designer paper!  I also love anything I can color. I was inspired by the sample at the bottom of page 53. I have a Basic Beige base and then I added the Beautiful Gallery DSP with some Peach Pie ink blending to the bottom with my blending brush. I then cut a frame with the Gallery Blooms dies and another piece of the DSP. Inside is a piece of white card stock. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a white piece of card stock and colored with my Stampin Blends in Calypso Coral and Peach Pie. I cut the image out with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Unbounded Love set in Pecan Pie ink on a Stylish Shapes dies circle in Basic Beige card stock. I added some Basic Beige 3/8" classic ribbon behind and finished with some Pressed Flower Motifs gems.

Make A Wish

 

Using the Wildflower Birthday suite, I made a card for a friend's upcoming birthday! I have a Blueberry Bushel base and inside I have a white piece of card stock with the sentiment stamped from the Birthday Celebration set in Blueberry Bushel and Pretty In Pink inks. I added a cupcake from the cutouts in the paper. On the front, I have paper cut with the Textured Notes dies and punched from the DSP. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Blueberry Bushel ink on a white banner cut from the Stylish Shapes dies and snipped on the right end. I finished with some gold dots.

Hope you have a fab week and thanks for stopping by!

PP745 Happy Sailing Birthday!

 

I am playing along with Stef's theme challenge this week with circles over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com but I just featured just one! I have a Secret Sea base and another layer ran through with the Soft Waves embossing folder. I then cut white clouds and Secret Sea birds from the Sunset Sailing dies. I stamped the sailboat from the same set in Secret Sea ink plus Poppy Parade ink and cut with the matching dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies set in Poppy ink on a white Stylish Shape banner then I cut a circle from those same dies and blended some Balmy Blue ink on. 

Hope you can play along this week and thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Cake

 

I played with the Wildflower Birthday suite and made several cards I will be sharing over the next few weeks! Here I have a gate fold and was going to make a belly band but got lazy and just popped the the cake on one panel. I started with the Blueberry Bushel base 4 1/4" by 11" and scored at 2 1/8" on each end of the long length. I added the white panel inside plus a cut out of a cupcake and flower from the Wildflower Birthday DSP after stamping the sentiment from the Birthday Celebrations set in Blueberry Bushel and Pretty In Pink inks. I then cut a Textured Noted white die and brushed some Pretty In Pink ink on with my blending brush. I popped the cut out cake and flowers on plus some gold swirl dots. I finished with some stripped gold ribbon to tie around! 

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!

PP744 Sailing On The 4TH

 

I am playing along with Jaydee's tic-tac-toe challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com today and I am going diagonal with CAS, die cut and masculine! I was going to make a 4th of July card to send my son and this worked out perfectly! It will be in the mail today! I have a white layer and another white ran through with the Sunrise sailing embossing folder. I stamped the birds in Blueberry Bushel from the Sunrise Sailing set on this layer. I then stamped from the same set the sailboat in Blueberry ink and Real Red ink and cut it out with matching dies. I cut the 4 from the Birthday Celebration dies in Blueberry Bushel card stock and I stamped the th from the same Birthday Celebration set in same color and hand snipped it out. I kept it simple and clean for the CAS part but wanted to add color to the water. 

Have a Safe & Happy 4th celebration later this week and thanks for stopping by!

Happy 4TH

 

I am trying to channel some Brian King vibes with my 4th of July card this week. I wanted to send one to my mom and thought why not do some paper piecing like my friend over at stampwithbrian.com  He is the master of taking pieces of DSP or card stock and making cool projects/designs! I cut several 3/4" strips of Blueberry Bushel, white and Cherry Cobbler card stock. I added them to a 4" square piece of card stock and snipped any pieces hanging over the edge. I popped it on my white base that I stamped using the Birthday Celebrations stamp set in Cherry Cobbler and Blueberry Bushel inks and the added the 4 cut in Blueberry Bushel card stock with the Birthday Celebrations dies. I finished with some Blueberry gems. 

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping by!
