BIRTHDAYS IN THE CLOUDS

Hello and thank you for popping by to check out today’s project.

As you might guess, I’m using the You’re a Peach Suite again (and, I probably will for a couple more projects to come).

BASIC BORDERS DIES

I’m also using the Basic Borders Dies for the first time. I chose the cloud/curved border for today’s card.

YOU'RE A PEACH 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

The Designer Series Paper is just gorgeous! I thought that the Balmy Blue flowers and stripes would be perfect together.

I started with a Balmy Blue card base. Then I used one of the Blending Brushes to lightly colour the Basic White layer with the Balmy Blue ink. The DSP players were cut with the die positioned in different positions across the cutting plates of my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I layered and adhered the DSP pieces so that they would leave enough of the brushed blue base layer peeking through at the top and bottom. I also added some die cut blue striped DSP to the card insert and envelope. A double bow was attached to the card using a Mini Glue Dot.

The stitching is one of my favourite features on many of the dies in the Stampin’ Up!© catalogue. There are few Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems on the card also.

I am so happy with the way this card looks – I love the soft, round, striped clouds that frame the clusters of flowers. What do you think?

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. Just click on any of the images below.
