Hello... Birthday Girl

Oooooohhhh, here's another soft, feminine card for you today....

I am really loving these soft tones for spring....

We start our card with a Whisper White card base, then added a layer of that soft blushing bride striped paper from the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper - it has such a pretty, water-colored look to it.

Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper  140557  $11.00

Next, we stamped "hello" from the Hello Sale-a-Bration stamp set in Smoky Slate ink - you can get this stamp set for FREE with a $50 order ONLY until February 15 (so don't wait much longer!).

Next, we flagged the end of this piece, as well as of our floral piece (also from the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper), with our Banner Triple Punch.

We also stamped "----birthday girl----" from the Hello stamp set in Smokly Slate ink as well and popped this piece up on Dimensionals.

Hello Stamp Set  wood-mount  141240  (FREE with a $50 order)

Hello Stamp Set  clear-mount  141243  (FREE with a $50 order)

 

Banner Triple Punch  138292  $23.00

Stampin' Dimensionals  104430  $4.00

Finally, we added a 1/2" strip of another pattern from the Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper to our card, along with a Blushing Bride piece punched with our Pansy Punch.  We "crinkled" this flower up a bit before adding it to our card to give it a little texture and dimension.

We also added a Botanical Garden Jewel to the center of our flower (adhering it to our flower with Mini Glue Dots).

Pansy Punch  130698  $16.00

Botanical Garden Jewels  140585  $7.00

Botanicals... Just for You

This is my favorite pattern in our Wildflower Fields Sale-a-Bration Designer Series Paper....

You can get this paper for FREE with a $50 order now thru March 31!!

Just let me know if you'd like to get this paper, too!

We start our card with a Calypso Coral card base.  This card uses the standard card measurement of 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".  Then, we scored it at 4 1/4" and again at 2 1/8" and folded this piece back to create the flap at the front of the card.

Next, we added that (favorite of mine!) Blackberry Bliss floral pattern Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration Wildflower Meadow Designer Series Paper to the front flap.

Then, we stamped "Just for You" from the Botanicals for You Sale-a-Bration stamp set in Calypso Coral ink.  You can also get this stamp set for FREE with a $50 order now thru March 31!

This piece was die-cut with one of our Ovals Framelits and added to the front flap of our card.

Next, we stamped "Because you're so nice" on the inside of our card and added some cute flowers - in Blackberry Bliss and Calypso Coral ink.  These stamps can all be found in the Botanicals for You stamp set as well!

Finally, we added a Rhinestone to the center of each flower.
