Bright and fun Stampin’ Up! curvy edge birthday card with curvy dies and playful alphabet dies

Our twenty sixth colour we are focusing on for the colour collections blog hop is "merry merlot" from the neutrals collection. I have chosen merry merlot, melon mambo and daffodil delight from the colour coach to work with today for my creation.

I am getting the most from the curvy dies and again have used them to create a curvy edge card (my second one this week!) If you haven't already purchased the Quite Curvy Bundle or the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle you really must have another look at it. I've also used the happy dies along with the playful alphabet dies to create a bright and fun happy birthday card. The curved edge also helps add to the playful feel. The adhesive sheets are fabulous for adhering the finer details like the ballon string. I also used the foam adhesive sheets for the "happy" portion of the happy birthday sentiment. I have also used my faux resin dots to fill in some of the white space.

A bright and cheerful card for the young at heart

Stampin' Up! Painted Poppies Pop Out Gate Fold Card

Last month I taught a Painted Poppies card and this is one of the three cards everyone made. A pop out gate fold card. It showcases the stunning design on the designer series paper perfectly. It is one of the few cards I make with no sentiment so it can be used for a variety of occasions.
Did you know that from the pack of peaceful poppies designer series paper, you can make 4 of these pop out gate fold cards?

Art With Heart Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

SAB-blog-hop
Welcome to the first Art With Heart Blog Hop for 2020. This month we are featuring cards using the amazing products you can earn for free during our sale-a-bration promotion. Until March 31st, for every $90 you spend on Stampin’ Up! products you will earn free products from our sale-a-bration brochure.

Hostess’ earn bonuses too! When you host a party with sales above $500 you receive this Little Ladybug stamp set in addition to the usual hostess benefits.

For my project today I have focused on the fabulous hostess only stamp set "Little Ladybug". I have created a pop out gate fold card that I have closed with a belly band and it opens up to show a fun outdoor spring scene. Perfect for a garden enthusiast or someone who thinks lady bugs are cute!

Close up of the stitching details - coming soon, dies for some sale-a-bration stamp sets

All the details for my card...I have created the clouds in the sky by using the clouds stencil from the pattern party decorative masks, a sponge dauber and white craft ink. Once my craft ink dried, I outlined the design with a white gel pen to make the clouds pop on the balmy blue cardstock.
I fussy cut two of the smallest lady bugs for added detail and added them to the flower on the my centre panel and the the sentiment panel on the far right of the card. All the ladybugs (and the two flowers) on the card have been coloured in with stampin' blends. I just used the blends for basic colouring and not blending on the ladybugs for ease (as I had so many to colour in) as you can see when the card is closed the front and back is pretty much filled with ladybugs!
