Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is Birthday Bash. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, we would appreciate your comments because we enjoy hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
I love an opportunity to share Stampin’ Up! products and Birthday cards are the ones I make and send the most. They are always happy cards. For today’s Hop Card, I went with a new product from the Mini Catalog, the Artfully Layered Bundle. After having seen beautiful cards with this Bundle, I ended up casing the catalog somewhat.
I cased the catalog for the front panel and the Fun Fold is from Mary Deatherage. She called it a Book Fold Easel Card. The card folds flat for mailing! Here is a flat view.
The Bundle +
The Artfully Layered Bundle is amazing. I love the mix of fonts in the sweet sentiments, and the leaves can be stamped, embossed, die cut, and are so much fun! The “+” is the Picture This Dies. I used the center of the triangle Picture This for the inside sentiment layer. The stitching around these dies are different from any of the layering dies. And it happened to be laying on my messy desk when I was looking for an idea on the sentiment layer. LOL!! Sometimes messy is a good thing!
The Papers
The gorgeous colors of the DSP are all so bright and cheery. That is one of the reasons I chose this Bundle / Suite for this card. The paper is named Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper. And I pulled all of the colors from the paper. For a varied look, I even pulled in lighter versions of some of the main colors. My paper scraps came in very handy for this one. Stampin’ Up! has the best colors for using shades of a color.
Finishing
For the final touches of this fun card. I White Heat Embossed the two sentiments. The front one is on one of the die cut leaves. It does not show quite as brightly as I had hoped. And the last touch was using a new product for the first time. It is the Faux Sea Glass Adhesive gems. They are so very different and such fun! I went a bit overboard and added more than the preferred three.
More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 9th. Our theme will be Cute Critters where our Design Team creates a project with any kind of animals, birds, butterflies or insects.
Until then, have fun in your craft space.
