Good Morning! Welcome to the February Inkin’ Krew Team Blog Hop! The theme for this month’s hop is “Birthday” and I used the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Petals bundle with the Sale-A-Bration Bloom Impressions designer series paper to make a tag birthday card. You can find the supplies I used along with card stock cuts at the bottom of my post.
I adhered a floral panel of the Sale-A-Bration Bloom Impressions designer series paper to the front of a Shy Shamrock card base with liquid glue. I stamped the large leaf cluster stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Petals stamp set using Shy Shamrock ink on Basic White and cut it out with the large tag die from the Greetings of the Season dies.
I used the same die to cut a Shy Shamrock panel and embossed the die cut tag with the Sale-A-Bration Starstruck embossing folder. I inked up the large floral spray stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Petals stamp set using Daffodil Delight ink and used a sponge dauber to apply Peach Pie ink to the flower centers and bases. I cut the flowers out with the coordinating die and adhered them to the stamped tag with pieces of dimensionals.
I looped a length of Daffodil Delight ribbon through the tag holes and tied them together, making a loopy bow. I offset the tags, securing them with glue dots and adhered the tags to the card with glue dots. I finished the flower centers with Peach Pie dots.
I stamped the pretty sentiment from the Labeled with Love stamp set using Shy Shamrock ink on Daffodil Delight and cut it out with the small rectangle from the Nested Essentials die. I adhered it to the card with glue dots and finished it with a Shy Shamrock dot.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the small leaf cluster from the Stampin’ Up! Pretty Petals stamp set using Shy Shamrock ink on a Basic White panel. I inked up the double flower stamp with Daffodil Delight ink and applied Peach Pie ink with a sponge dauber and stamped it on the panel. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
I used so many products for today’s card and it shows how you can coordinate different Stampin’ Up! Products. And many of the products I used are either discounted Last Chance products or Sale-A-Bration items. The Stampin’ Up! Pretty Petals stamp set and dies are on the Last Chance products list (with a big discount!) along with the Greetings of the Season dies. The beautiful Bloom Impressions designer series paper and the Starstruck embossing folder are Sale-A-Bration items that you can choose for FREE with a $60 order. These specially priced items are available while supplies last.
