A Beautiful Gallery Birthday Wish for March Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month’s Stampin’ Pretty Pals Blog Hop is all about Birthday Celebrations. If you’re looking for fresh inspiration—or just a good excuse to pull out those gorgeous craft supplies—you’re in the right place. Today, the Pals are sharing a variety of birthday-themed card ideas using Stampin’ Up! products. Whether you love bright and playful designs, elegant birthday greetings, or quick and simple projects, you’ll find plenty of inspiration along the hop.
I used the Beautiful Gallery DSP (designer series paper) for my birthday card:
I have spent quite a bit of time trying to find the original poster for this card format. I don’t remember where I saw it, or what it is called. I do remember that the link for the card took me to Canva for the tutorial. If the card design belongs to you, or you recognize the design, please let me know so I can update this post. Thank you!
Measurements:
- The Mossy Meadow cardstock base measures 8-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches, scored at 4-1/4 inches
- Trim a Pecan Pie piece of cardstock measures 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
- Next, I trimmed a piece of the Beautiful Gallery DSP to 4 by 5-1/4 inches
- Take this trimmed piece of DSP and trim it down to 8 consecutive pieces each measuring 1/2 by 5-1/4 inches
- Trim the leftover piece of DSP to 1/2 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card
- Trim a piece of coordinating DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Punch a 1-inch circle from a leftover scrap of the Beautiful Gallery DSP and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
- Trim a piece of Basic Beige to 4 by 5-1/4 inches for the inside of the card
- Using scraps of Basic Beige and Pecan Pie, crop circles using the Stylish Shapes dies for the front sentiment
What I Did:
- My first steps involved the Beautiful Gallery DSP pieces and the Pecan Pie mat
- I started by lining the 1/2 inch DSP strips to make sure I had the strips in the proper order, tops and bottoms even, and had the sides touching
- To accomplish this, I used my handy dandy removal tape runner for all 8 strips
- Starting on the left, I carefully removed the first strip added dimensionals behind it, and re-adhered it to the Pecan Pie mat
- Next, I carefully removed the second strip, added multipurpose liquid glue to the back, and re-adhered it in place
- I continued this for the remaining strips
- Using Mossy Meadow ink, I stamped the birthday wishes sentiment on the Basic Beige circle
- Then I adhered the the Basic Beige circle to the Pecan Pie circle
- I cropped three sprays of leaves using the Nature’s Symphony die set from some leftover Mossy Meadow Beautiful Gallery DSP and added them behind the Pecan Pie circle
- Next, I wrapped a length of Basic Beige ribbon around the fPecan Pie mat and tied it in a square knot
- I adhered the Pecan Pie mat to the Mossy Meadow base using multipurpose glue
- I used dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the front making sure they straddled the ribbon
- The Natural Matte dots finished the front of the card
- After stamping the inside sentiment using Mossy Meadow ink, I adhered it to the inside of the card
- Then, I added the strip of DSP to the right side of the Basic Beige cardstock
You might be asking yourself why there’s a piece of retired Mossy Meadow 6 x 6 inch DSP on the left side of the card. When I first adhered the Basic Beige cardstock to the inside, I put it on the wrong side of the inside. Therefore, the DSP covers a big OOPS! of multipurpose glue. It’s a happy accident.
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set.
