Reminder that we are nearing the end of Sale-A-Bration!! And the additional FREE product choices Stampin’ Up! added for this month are some amazing products!
I have occasionally started my cards using scraps. Today is sort of one of those type cards. I found strips from the Splendid Autumn DSP on my desk. Scraps of DSP make great options for quick cards. This is one of those.
STAMPS
The only stamping on the front of this sweet card is from the Loveliest Tree stamp set. I love a simple birthday sentiment. And yes I know they are in a lot of different stamp sets. But the different sizes and fonts always intrigue me. Plus I sell my retired sets so lose some of those sentiments that way. This mix of small printed Happy with the gorgeous scripted Birthday just spoke to me.
PAPERS
These DSP strips are actually the star of the card. They are from the Splendid Autumn Designer Series Paper pack. These were buried on the back of my desk form a previous project of who knows when! They measure 1 1/2 X 4 3/4 and 1 3/8 X 4 1/2. Since daffodils are blooming in my yard, I saw these daisies as another sign of Spring. (Although we are scheduled for another round of really cold this week)
The card base is Fresh Freesia and the layer is Lemon Lolly. Both of these colors are pulled from the daisy piece of DSP. And there are many options for other color combinations from just that small strip of paper.
EXTRAS
The first of my Extras today is the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. This is used on the Lemon Lolly and really stands out. I love the detail it has. The next Extra is the punched ends of the sentiment strip. It is made using the Happy Labels Pick A Punch. * This is a current option for the Sale-A-Bration Free product choices!! Next is the Bakers Twine bow behind the sentiment. Finally is the purple Shimmer Gems that are a favorite of mine.

I am so behind on making birthday cards this month. That being said I am taking a break from Valentine today and sharing one of the birthday cards. It is a mix of gorgeous DSP patterns from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. Why use just one sheet when they all layer so well!
PAPERS
These beautiful sheets of paper are from the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper pack. I chose the floral sheet first as the star of the card. Then I thought to look for a green that would layer instead of using card stock. This linen look sheet was perfect! Next for a sentiment strip I found the checked yellow piece. It was actually a scrap from a previous card. I always save my scraps for just this purpose.
The card base is Pool Party cardstock. It is shown in the floral layer as little highlights. To add a bit more of the Pool Party I used a scrap to stamp the Happy Birthday. It seems to tie the card together. For one last touch of cardstock I used a scrap of Old Olive to die cut the small leaf outline. It helps tie in with the floral leaves of the DSP.
STAMPS
The only stamping on this card front is the sentiment. The papers are so great that there was no need. And this makes it a pretty quick and easy card to make. This elegant font of Happy Birthday is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. It can stand alone as it is bold enough with the beautiful font to gain attention.
EXTRAS
There are two Die cut pieces for this card that count as extras. First is the little leaf next to the sentiment . It and the sentiment shape are from the Mixed Labels Die set. The sentiment layer is a great size plus the detailed edging really takes it up a notch. And the final extra is the bling. I restrained myself and with only one piece of bling. A single Pearl on the sentiment layer seemed plenty with all of the floral pattern.
LAYER MEASUREMENTS
The card base is cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. None of the DSP pieces are directional, but if they were they should be cut landscape. The green pattern is cut 5 X 3 3/4 with the floral cut to 4 1/4 X 3. For the strip of checked DSP it measures 4 X 3/4 and then is angle cut on each end.
