Pinwheel Tower Flap Birthday Card with Regency Park DSP

It was my mum's birthday the other day and I always try to make her a nice, wow card. This year, I settled a Pinwheel Tower Flap card and used the pretty Regency Park DSP. I used the lovely new Alphabet a la mode dies for some of the die cut lettering, but they were too large for the word birthday so I used a retired die to spell Happy Birthday as well. If you purchase both the Alphabet a la mode dies and the Regency Park DSP, you will get a FREE level 1 sale-a-bration product of your choice. There is 7, level 1 ($90 spend) to choose from and 2, level 2 ($190 spend).

Here are the four sides of the pinwheel tower flap card:




I blanked out my handwriting on the DSP panel as I forgot to take a photo before I wrote on the card, oops! 


This is the card folded flat for hand delivering or posting.


Finally, an overhead view

Stampin' Up! Car Shaped 18th Birthday Card

My eldest daughter turned 18 yesterday and as she brought her first car last week I made her a car shaped card for her birthday. I tried to make it look just like her car (which she has named Gary). I grabbed a couple of retired supplies (calendar alphabet and numbers) for the background stamping and messages die as it fit perfectly around the Happy Birthday stamp from Artistically inked. The car shape is a file from my electronic die cutting machine.

Stampin' Up! Best Wishes Blended Background Card with Perfect Pomegranate Stamp Set

When I first saw the Perfect Pomegranate stamp set I was shocked and unsure what to do with it but was loving the leaves stamps. I have used the larger "tree" leaves for bushes on my card today. I have also used blending brushes to create a cloud in the sky design, stamped a sentiment from Cottage Rose (a solid favourite at the moment) and the small flowers are from artistically inked. I tried to create a yellow/orange ombre design on the die cut butterflies and finished off the card with brushed brass butterflies. 


With envelope


I went a little over the top with the decorating of the inside of this card (and the envelope). It definitely matches the front of the card!

Stampin' Up! Rings of Love DSP Birthday Card

I am crazy and find fussy cutting relaxing and saw the rings of love DSP as a perfect chance to get some fussy cutting in. You can earn the rings of love DSP for free (along with other products) if you place a $90+ order this month (ends on Wednesday August 31st, which is just days away!)   


The mandala image (which is on the backside of the houses DSP) was crying out to be layered in my opinion and I popped each layer up with stampin' dimensionals. I also cut out small sections on the side/edge of the DSP and use them on the envelope and inside the card. Using the adhesive sheets on the back of the DSP before you fussy cut the image out allows the to become a sticker and means adhering the image is a breeze.

My layered mandala image is adhered onto a layering circles die cut and it is on a painted textured embossed background. I have used retired Holiday Rhinestone basic jewels on the mandala image as they were the perfect colour and a touch of bling. I stamped a simple happy birthday sentiment from Cottage Rose stamp set.

Stampin' Up! Wonderful World Birthday Card

I had a quick play with the wonderful world stamp set (a sale-a-bration level 2 stamp set which also comes with a pack of 12" x 12" DSP) and came up with this birthday card. My card has tone on tone stamping in the background and markers direct to rubber on the basic white cardstock. I've used the distressed gold speciality paper for the first time and I love how it lifts the card. I will certainly be using that again for sure.

Stampin' Up! Triple Diamond Point Birthday Card with Perfect Pomegranate Stamp Set

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, crushed curry. 
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.


This week, I have chosen crushed curry, calypso coral and garden green from the colour coach to work with. 
I have created a birthday card by CASEing the sale-a-bration brochure. The card shown below (in the bottom right hand corner) is from the 2022 sale-a-bration brochure, 16 ©2020 Stampin' Up!®. 


I stamped the floral base images in crushed curry onto basic white cardstock. I used crumb cake banners under the birthday sentiment. All the leaves (in garden green and granny apple green) and the smaller flowers (calypso coral) are fussy cut and placed randomly. The sentiment is stamped from Nature's Prints and die cut from Painted Labels dies. The DSP used in the triple diamond point is from Rustic Harvest DSP from the July - December mini catalogue.

Stampin' Up! Blackberry Bliss Corner Flip Birthday Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Blackberry Bliss.
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.


I have chosen blackberry bliss, calypso coral and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work from this week. 

For my card today, I have created a corner fold card again after making one a few weeks ago for parakeet party and I've used the brilliant wings dies for large focal images. I have a cloud design in the background so it looks like the butterflies are fluttering in the sky. I have randomly placed rhinestone basic jewels around the card along with the brushed brass butterflies. I have coloured the brushed brass butterflies in silver using a Sharpie as they fit my card design better than the original brass colour. I have also used some retired silver foil to create an inlaid design to highlight parts of the butterfly.

I continued the cloud design over the front of the envelope

Stampin' Up! Biggest Wish Camouflage Background Birthday Card

Hi and welcome to another round of the colour creations blog hop. 
For this weeks blog hop, we are focusing on the colour, Bermuda Bay
If you remember, from previous years I like to work with the color coach Stampin' Up! provides to add a challenge to my card creations.
This week, I have chosen Bermuda Bay, Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green from the colour coach to work with. I have used the camouflage technique and my three chosen inks (Bermuda Bay, Soft Sea Foam and Garden Green) to create my background. I stamped the Happy Birthday stamps from Biggest Wish stamp set on a strip of Very Vanilla cardstock for a simple yet bold sentiment. I finished off the card front with some retired Coastal Cabana resin dots that I coloured over with my Bermuda Bay stampin' blends.   


With envelope - decorated with a small strip of camouflage background

Inside card - A small strip of the camouflage background, sentiment from whiskey business stamp set and some more of the Coastal Cabana resin dots colour with Bermuda Bay stampin' blends
