Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses Birthday Card

The Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horse bundle is such a cute set with stamps and dies you can use to make a pretty carousel. I used it to make a sweet birthday card with rainbow ponies and lots of pink sparkle! Plus, it’s a simple fun fold! You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to a Berry Burst panel. I adhered a 2-1/2″ wide mini card base to the layered panel with liquid glue and adhered another panel of DSP to the front. I cut a Basic White panel with the second largest scalloped contours die and adhered another panel of DSP to the center.

I cut the main carousel from Melon Mambo using the pretty Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses dies. I used the die again to cut the top two cutouts from Bubble Bath shimmer paper and cut the trim from Rose Gold iridescent foil. I adhered the post and base to the scalloped rectangle with glue dots and the shimmer paper with dimensionals.

I stamped the horses from the Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses stamp set in Smoky Slate ink on Basic White. I stamped the saddle details in Berry Burst and colored the backgroundof the saddle with the light Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend. I colored the manes and tales with lighht Melon Mambo, light Granny Apple Green, dark Lemon Lolly and light Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends for a rainbow pony look. I adhered the ponies to the panel with glue dots and adhered the top foil decoration with dimensionals. I adhered the panel to the mini card front with liquid glue and finished it with silver pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a Basic White panel. I cut some balloons using the Zany Zoo balloon die from Melon Mambo, Fresh Freesia and Bubble bath and adhered them to the corner. I drew some strings with a Basic Gray Stampin’ Write marker and adhered the panel to the inside of the mini card with Stampin’ Seal.

The ponies in the Stampin’ Up! Carousel Horses bundle are just as pretty as Unicorns and are sure to delight a little girl on her birthday. And even better, you can really ride carousel horses!!
