We all need birthday cards to send so here is a super quick and easy Birthday Card that you can whip up using minimal product and the best thing is – it comes as a BUNDLE!!! The stamp set is super fun and filled with some great sentiments!
This is another swap card for convention (I like to have several different themes) so each day this week I will share with you swap cards and then when I get back from convention – I will have LOTS to share with you!
The base is a note-card and using the Cherry on Top DSP Stack makes this a fast and very duplicable card as it has (4) sheets of each pattern!
Let's get to it…this will be super quick as you know what today is – TUESDAY – which means weekly deals! You can click here to see the offerings this week and make sure that you do not wait for certain items as they are limited to the quantities that Stampin' Up! is offering.
Look how silly simple this is…(2) pieces of fun paper….stamp the sentiment in Bermuda Bay….pop another one out in the coordinating color of watermelon wonder….stamp the stamp again in another coordinating color, Hello honey…..cut – adhere – DONE!
You could easily eliminate stamping the 2nd time but I think that this adds a cute touch. The great thing is that it is a cinch to cut out, not detailed at all. (remember, its those little extra special touches that make a difference)
Lining the outside of the envelope is also festive and fun and with the size of this paper, you can line (2) envelopes from a sheet of paper…and actually if you line it like this and use the note card size….you will have some extra that you could use a punch to use up the paper!
While you are checking the weekly deals this week…make sure that you pop into the clearance rack – (hopefully some new goodies might be in there)!
Thanks for popping by, please do not forget to share my blog with your family and friends….I love new subscribers and you know we always are having fun! You can click on the button on the right and never miss a post.
See you tomorrow!

Happy Sunday! Did you watch the Belmonts Stakes yesterday? I was so excited….What an amazing story – horses are incredible animals; the training and discipline these horses a this level is unreal. What a run….John and I were rooting him on – he is a magnificent animal with a huge heart! This sure did make my weekend!
Well, I must admit….there is a huge difference in the cards this weekend BUT.…both are great – it all comes down to time! That word "TIME" gets the best of us many times. I did learn a lesson and I cannot wait to share it with you.
Here is yesterday's card….clean and classic to the max, a "Susan Card" and one that I make often for family and friends….so versatile and you can switch up the DSP to the persons personality – makes a super gift! Please click here to yesterdays post
Now to the Stepped up version…fresh, fun and special. I added the NEW fabulous stamp set that I know is going to be a HUGE HIT…it is called Garden In Bloom. Just looked at these stamps, beautiful and the sentiments – WOWZERS….so special.
With this stamp set, It can be used as a single stamp or as I used it today I double stamped it. In the below picture you will see what I am talking about. (I am sorry if I am so basic but I do think that there are many that are not sure what "double stamping" is…and I want you to know…it is fun and gives a great effect!!!)
The basic way I did the card is the same…using a notecard and the fabulous Larger Than Life Alphabet Stamp Set….this stamp set has a HUGE impact and is simply timeless. Today I skipped the embossed lines on the side of the card….and just stamped away with some super sweet flowers!
Yesterday I stamped the "S" right on the layer of whisper white…today I used a piece of scraps and stamped it and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Deco Labels Framelits. I also did it with the Blushing Bride and then adhere them to the back to POP it up!
I do think that this is a fun look…with the flowers and the simple monogram! In the new catalog we have many great options that can be used in place of the flowers….I am thinking butterflies….bees…..dragon flies….more endless idea!
Now to the part that I wanted to share with you….yesterday, I used the FABULOUS English Garden Paper for the envelope (this is simply one fantastic – out of the ballpark pack of paper and I was thinking as I was going over what I wanted to share with you this weekend that the flowers that I did on the card would compliment perfectly….
Guess what….I did not like it…..here is a picture of it and I hope that you can see my point. I wanted to share it with you and then share with you the solid Blushing Bride embossed with the FUN Polka Dot Folder! I hope that you can see how much easier it is on your eye with the simplicity of the below!
You see….there are times that we change our mind, we tweak midway through…and the end result is….a great card that YOU made! I hope that this weekend fun brought a smile to your face!
On Tuesday I blogged about the great incentive for a hobby stamper. If I were you I would pick these stamp sets as your free ones….they are super sets and just think – These (2) stamp sets would be $71.00 and you can get them for FREE.
Kicking tires is fun…and it is a wonderful opportunity for you….email me….or better yet, get your shopping list out and go to town….you can click here to get going!
Can't wait for tomorrow…..I will share with you the results from the polls! WOOT-WOOT!
