Good Saturday Morning! Here’s a Birthday Card made with the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy photopolymer stamp set. This pretty stamp set is a special Sale-A-Bration item that you can get for free with a $100 order before shipping and taxes. It has a pretty outline flower and shaded inside stamps that you can use to color using the two step stamping technique as I did today.You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

I adhered a panel of Dainty Flowers Sale-A-Bration designer series paper to a Gray Granite mat and adhered it to the front of a Blushing Bride card base with liquid glue.

I stamped the large outline flower from the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy photopolymer stamp set in Gray Granite ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the detailed flowers in Blushing Bride ink – I found it was pretty easy to line up and I love the subtle shading! I stamped the bottom leaves in Pear Pizzazz along with the top buds. These were a little trickier to line up, but I think it’s still pretty. I used a Blender Pen to apply Pear Pizzazz ink to the stem and colored the flower center with my light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend. I stamped the little bee in Gray Granite and colored it with the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend.

I wrapped the panel twice with Gray Granite baker’s twine and made a bow before adhering the panel to the card front with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set in Gray Granite ink on a small strip of Basic White. I adhered it to a Dainty Flowers DSP mat and then to a Gray Granite mat with liquid glue and adhered it to the card with glue dots and dimensionals. I finished the card front with gold adhesive sequins.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the outline small flower from the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set in Gray Granite ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the solid flower in Blushing Bride and the leaf and bud in Pear Pizzazz. I stamped the little bee in Gray Granite and colored the bee and stamen with the light Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blend. I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite and trimmed the bottom with a strip of Dainty Flowers DSP. I adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

I used the two step stamping technique to color the flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy Sale-A-Bration stamp set, but they would be beautiful using any coloring technique. The stamp set also has several pretty sentiments that are perfect for many occasions. This stamp set is only available while supplies last during Sale-A-Bration.
