Birthday Bouquet

Stampin' Up! Birthday Bouquet

I saw a card very similar to this on pinterest and now sadly can't find it to credit the original designer, but it is a card I've shared with many of my parties over the last couple of weeks. It's using the gorgeous Birthday Blooms stamp set and papers that coordinate. I think many of us struggle to have the confidence to use papers once we have bought them as we are worried that once punched or cut a sheet could be wasted if we don't use that piece and then wish we hadn't cut in the first place. It's a great argument for buy two packs, one to stroke and one to use and abuse!

The colours are blusing bride, pool party, mint macaron and whisper white. I just love the sparkly pool party glitter ribbon that just gives a little bit of WOW. Also in this Birthday Bouquet suite of Stampin' Up! products are the honeycomb embellishments that I will share with you soon.

Enjoy spreading birthday fun.

Christmas Card Club - Stampin' Up! Holly Jolly Greetings

Stampin' Up! Holly Jolly Greetings

It's already our second Christmas Card Club and our challenge is to include a sleigh as requested by our challenger Maureen.

With all the snow in the USA I've got a very topical card having used Stampin' Up! set Holly Jolly Greetings to create a snowy scene with my sleigh added from the retired set Holiday Home and sentiment from Jingle All The Way. Holly Jolly Greetings is still available on our carryover list.

You can add my favourite bling with sequins, rhinestones and using the fine tip glue some fine silver glitter to the vellum panel that is over the stamped snowflakes. You can use washi tape to adhere the vellum, hence getting around the issue of glue showing through and leaving marks you don't really want.

Did you see the panda at the Washington DC Zoo? We visited him in January last year when we visited friends, but thankfully not in the snow. Keep safe all caught up in the snow.
