Sweet Pea Birthday

Before I share my project of the day, I want to remind you of the Designer Paper Sale that begins tomorrow. All of the included papers are listed below the sale information further down in my post. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

For today’s card I have a fun card using the Sweet Pea Stamp Set. At first glance this set seems very simple. But if you looked at the sentiments and the expressions on the little peas, they are great for a variety of occasions.

Stamps

This card is made with stamps from the one set. The Sweet Pea set is unusual and great. An odd combination for sure! I used the three peas in a pod to wish the “Hapea” birthday. There is also a Grumpea that I think is hilarious! The single pea with the Party Blower is a single stamp that I fussy cut to add a little more cheer. He has a partner in the three peas in the pod also. All of the images and sentiment are stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends.

Dies

To come up with the layout for this card was the most difficult part of it. When I found the Nested Essentials Dies, I knew they were the best idea. And I love that there are different shapes that layer. I went with the banners and the rounded rectangles. The middle two of each shape I believe are the ones I used.

Papers

This card is fairly monochromatic in the greens. But then I added the Peach Pie as an accent. The card base and shape layers are Soft Sea Foam. And the green DSP is from the To Market Designer Series Paper. This is the back side of the one with tomatoes. I just thought it fit my green colors perfectly.

Finishes

To complete this card I added two separate products. First is the Peach Pie Bordered Ribbon. This was used when I decided on adding the Peach Pie and Wild Wheat as the party hat colors. I needed to tie those colors in. The ribbon is wrapped around the DSP layer and secured.

The bling is a scattering of the Dappled Dots Adhesive Backed elements. There are three colors included in the package. They are peach, pink, and a tan. I chose to use the peach color again.
