Good morning! Today’s card is a Happy For You card made with the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Perennials bundle. I also used the Sale A Bration Oh So Ombre 6″ x 6″ designer series paper for the background and it’s only available through next Sunday as Sale A Bration ends on February 28! You can find the supplies used to create this card at the bottom of this post along with the sizes of card stock used.

I adhered a panel of the Blackberry Bliss Oh So Ombre Sale A Bration designer series paper to a Basic White panel and wrapped a length of Blackberry Bliss ribbon around it, securing it in the back. I popped it on the front of a Blackberry Bliss card base with dimensionals. I cut another panel of Blackberry Bliss with the second largest scalloped rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to build my arrangement on.

I stamped the happy sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Perennials photopolymer stamp set in VersaMark Ink on a Blackberry Bliss panel and sprinkled it with white embossing powder. I heat set the embossing powder until shiny and fussy cut around the outside of the word with my paper snips. This word is fairly easy to fussy cut because the font is so thick and I love that look! I stamped the for you in Blackberry Bliss ink on a small Basic White panel and trimmed it down and adhered it to the bottom of the scalloped rectangle panel. I adhered the fussy cut happy sentiment on the scalloped panel, letting the ends of the word hang off the edges of the panel.

I stamped three small flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Perennials stamp set in So Saffron on Basic White, stamping the outline first and then the filler. I stamped the large flower in Blushing Bride and cut out all the flowers with their coordinating dies. I cut the leaf sprig from Pear Pizzazz, the large detailed flower die from Blushing bride and the flower center from Rich Razzleberry. I adhered the layers of the large flower together. I arranged the flowers and leaves on the panel and adhered the leaves and small flowers with liquid glue. I popped the large flower on with dimensionals and finished it with a large pearl. I popped the panel on the card front with dimensionals and finished it with a Blackberry Bliss bow and three more pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the flowers and leaves from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Perennials stamp set in Blushing Bride, Blackberry Bliss, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz on a Basic White panel. I stamped off the Blackberry Bliss large flower center twice before stamping on the flower and masked off the large flower before stamping the small flower and top leaves, and then masked off the small flower before stamping the last leaf. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of Oh So Ombre 6″ x 6″ DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card.

The Stampin’ Up! Pretty Perennials bundle has pretty modern floral Distinktive stamps with wonderful coordinating dies and great sentiments. And if you purchase the bundle and add a pack of pearls, you will qualify for a FREE Sale A Bration Level 1 item such as the Oh So Ombre 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. But you don’t have much time left because Sale A Bration runs through this Sunday, February 28.
