Sunday Fun Day: Artfully Composed Tropical CAS birthday card set

Edited - kind reader Juleen pointed out that I had the dimensions for the DSP wrong in my original post. Please find the correct dimensions below.

Hello and Happy Sunday! For this week's Sunday Fun Day theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are sharing projects featuring the specialty papers from the Spring catalog. I pulled out my favorite Artfully Composed DSP to make my card set today.

I decided to once again pair it with the Timeless Tropical stamp set. I shared a card set featuring these last month (see that blog post here) and really liked how they worked together. Please click on the photo above to hop over to my Stampin' Up! store to place an order. If ordering online, please be sure to use Host Code S43YYXBG. A complete product list and dimensions are shared at the end of this post.

Here are close-ups of each of the three cards. It is so easy to mix and match the patterns from the DSP packs that Stampin' Up! curates. I love how the colors are listed on the back of the package making it super easy to form your color palette. This is such a clean and simple layout - two strips of coordinating DSP and a sentiment cut out using the Tailored Tag punch (retiring on May 2nd and on sale) and layered on a mat cut using my Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine (on sale through the end of this month!) and the Tasteful Labels dies (also retiring soon and on sale).

Here is how I stamped the inside of each of the cards. The sentiment, inked with evening evergreen ink, is great for a birthday card but also versatile enough that it would be perfect for a retirement card. I also inked the palm trees with the evening evergreen ink pad (palm fronds) and colored the tree trunks with a soft suede stampin' write marker.

Here's one more look at my card set. For even more specialty paper card ideas and projects, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to see what Karla and Rachel created.

Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
