Cheery Summery Happy Birthday Card

The new Beyond the Garden Designer series paper from Stampin' Up! is so beautiful! It's just bright and cheery and happy. Lovely for making birthday cards! Almost makes me wish I had a summer birthday ~ but I wouldn't trade my September Sapphire birthstone for anything! ;)

The flower and sentiment are from two older sets of Close To My Heart stamps that I have in my stash. I hand cut out the flower after I also stamped it onto the card. Love layered looks. And the ribbon is also something I've had in my stash for a while.

I've listed this card in my etsy shop and hope someone will be very blessed by it.


Thanks for stopping by today! Now go bless someone with a card today! ~ Amanda

You Always Do The Nicest Things

This is one of the new stamp sets in the Summer Mini catalog ~ Happy Greetings. I really like this set. The sentiment sizes are great for making a focal point on your cards.


I also used one of my favorite punches ~ Decorative Label. See, look how great these sentiments work with this punch! That's my favorite thing about Stampin' UP! ~ stamps and coordinating punches! Sooo Fun! ;)


Now, this paper is discontinued, sorry. But I still have some left and I love these color combo's. And of course you can copy this layout with any color scheme!


Thanks for stopping by! Blessings to you! And as always you can leave me love by leaving a comment! ;)

Birthday Boy Party Invitations

These are so fun! Bright colors and two new stamp sets ~ to me anyway! The image stamps are from Recess in the SU Summer Mini and the sentiments are from Inviting in the current SU main catalog. Love'em both!
This little guys birthday is going to be at a local neighborhood park and they're gonna have a 'field day' theme. When I heard that I knew this set would be perfect!


I really like how simple yet striking this invitation set is. Very crisp and not foofy. ;)

Thanks for checking in with me today! Hope you like these new sets too! I have a feeling I'm gonna get a lot of good use out of them. ;)

Have a great day!
