Hello and Happy Sunday! Today's theme over on the Sisters in Stamping blog is birthday cards. I just recently received my Holiday catalog and SAB order and wanted to use the new Wonderful World DSP and stamp bundle that is a Sale-a-Bration selection right now that you can earn for free with a qualifying $100 merchandise order. The papers are so beautiful and the flower images are a perfect match.
In addition to the Wonderful World bundle, I also used a new stamp set called Go To Greetings which is in the new Annual catalog. I love the different fonts and sizes of these often-needed sentiments! Click on either of the photos to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store to place an order (don't forget to use Host Code KDZFB6MW with your online order at checkout through July 30th).
This is a super simple Quick & Easy card and you can very easily make quite a few at one time. I wanted to add some texture to the card front so tied a double bow using linen thread. Want to make one of these cards yourself? Here are the card stock dimensions that I used for my project today:
Card Dimensions
Base card: Melon Mambo CS 11” x 4-1/4″, scored at 5 1/2″
Card front strip: Basic White CS 3-3/4″ x 1-1/4″
Card front mat and inside panel: (2) Basic White Cake CS 5-1/4″ x 4"
Card front panel: DSP 5" x 3-3/4"
Inside panel DSP strip: 5" x 1/4"
Here is a closer look at the inside of the card. I used a narrow strip of the DSP for some color and then stamped a flower image from the stamp set using Sahara Sand ink (I used second generation inking, stamping off on scrap paper first, so you can write over the image if needed).
Here's one more look at my card. For even more birthday card ideas and inspiration, don't forget to hop over to the Sisters in Stamping blog to check out what Karla and Rachel created this week.
Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous week!
