Stampin' Up! Enjoy Your Day Card with Watercolor Melon Stamp Set

Have you looked at Watercolor Melon stamp set and wondered can it be made into anything else?
I had this thought and came up with this "arty" design card. I also mixed in the splats Nature's Prints stamp set and the tiny dots from Artistically Inked stamp set. The sentiment is from heartfelt hellos stamp set and the outline is from heartfelt hexagons. 

 I used the watermelon rind to create the hashtag type shape on my card by straightening the photopolymer stamp and stamping it a few times to get the look I wanted. See below for the stamp I am talking about.

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Melon Corner Flip Birthday Card

My SIL had a birthday yesterday and what kind of card marker would I be if I didn't give her a handmade card with her gift?
I used a couple of sale-a-bration FREE products (Watercolor Melon stamp set and the Most Adored speciality paper) on the card and I love how fun and summery It turned out. 


The modern oval punch coordinates with the whole watermelon shape but I haven't brought that yet (opps) so I fussy cut around the whole watermelon while cutting around the individual watermelon pieces.
I also used the mini alphabet dies and I can see myself using them A LOT! I didn't have a stamp set that said the words "Have a" so I typed that along with the word "day" on my computer in Futura font (size 18) to completed the sentiment I wanted for the card front. 
I also loved making a corner flip fold for this card. It's been a while since I made one but they are fun and quite simple to make.

Stampin' Up! Flight and Airy DSP Aztec Pyramid Birthday Card

Yesterday was my mum's birthday and I always try to make her a fun/fancy fold card. This is my attempt for this year, an Aztec Pyramid Card featuring Flight and Airy DSP which is one of the Level 1 sale-a-bration free products. There is 10, level 1 ($90 spend) to choose from and 3, level 2 ($180 spend).
The Flight and Airy DSP is the star of this card and the artistically inked sentiment is a minor feature which I have stamped on bubble bath cardstock in memento and popped up with dimensionals. I fussy cut the bird image that didn't fit in my circle die cut and allowed it to overhang the circle matt. 


As I can't give a naked envelope, a strip of DSP easily decorated the envelope


Back side of the card (the writing panel)
The sentiment is from heartfelt hexagons and I again fussy cut another bird image for the writing panel.
