Stampin' Up! Aztec Pyramid Birthday Card with Most Adored Speciality DSP

The pink in the Most Adored speciality DSP screams one of my daughter's close friends name, so I made her birthday card early, (her birthday is in April). After making my mum's birthday card, I wanted to try it again in another DSP so I mixed and match and here we are with yet another sale-a-bration DSP Aztec Pyramid birthday card . There is only days left to get your hands on this DSP and other sale-a-bration products. Spend $90 or more AUD to get free products, available till Thursday, February 29th. 

I inked all the edges of the cardstock and DSP with co-ordinating inks and die cut the circle using retired layering circle dies and the numbers are again from a retired die set called large number framelits yet cut in distressed gold speciality paper (which is current). The sentiment is probably my ultimate favourite birthday sentiment in the current annual catalogue which is from Artistically Inked stamp set which I have popped up on dimensionals. A few pastel pink gems randomly placed around finished off the card front.

I didn't photograph the back side of the card (the writing panel) as it is just a plain basic white piece of card allowing my daughter plenty of room to write a message for her friend.

Stampin' Up! Delightfully Eclectic This or That Card with Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Set

I made the below card on the right for a techniques class (using DSP for a card base with a pocket inside the card) and was pretty happy with my card but then I decided to make a second version so I add it to my stash to give to my grandmother and I think I love it even more with the cajun craze cardstock under the DSP. What do you think, which card do you like best? 

I used Heartfelt Hello stamp set from the sale-a-bration free stamps and omitted the word "Mother's" from the stamp and used the mini alphabet dies to spell out the word birth to give more versatility to the stamp set. I can see me getting a lot of use out of the stamp set even after sale-a-bration as the "Thinking of you this Easter" stamp can just be Thinking of you. If you don't have this stamp set, you can grab it for free if you place a $90 order between now and February 29th!

Stampin' Up! Strip & Flip Cards with Designer Series Papers

Do you have a lot of DSP strips left over and not know what to do with them? I was inspired by Heidi Collins to make these cards as these cards are a great way to use up your DSP and are fun to make. I made 3 different sized cards all with similar DSP strips and different coloured matts/card bases and sentiments to see if they would look very different from one another with small changes.
Do you think they look vastly different? 


Thinking of you card


Sending you lots of love and hugs


Happy birthday card


All the cards are the same inside, with a coordinating strip of DSP. Only the birthday card has a sentiment (which is from Heartfelt Hellos stamp set). I left the others plain for versatility.

Stampin' Up Patchwork Pieces Quick & Easy Birthday Cards

My youngest daughter needed an 18th birthday card quickly for tonights birthday celebration and requested a blue theme so I sprang into action and whipped her up two cards swiftly (one for next week's party as well). The patchwork pieces die made short work for my card making efforts and I teamed it with timeworn type 3D embossing folder and the text stamp from "Quite Meadow" stamp set. The designer series paper I have used is a retired one called texture chic. I finished it all off with alphabet a la mode dies, stylish shapes dies and distress gold speciality paper.

Stampin' Up! 21st Paintball Inspired Overlapping Fold Birthday Card

My eldest son was attending a 21st paintball birthday party and wanted a birthday card. I was up for the challenge to try and make a themed card and here's what I made.
I found an old camouflage background I had made a while ago (before the colour refresh as it has old olive, sahara sand and soft suede inks for the technique) and also used a stencil with various paint splats I had stashed away with the blending brushes and 7 different inkpads and created what I call an overlapping fold card.
