My card today has nothing to do with Christmas – except for being a birthday card.

Think about it.

There – you got it! 🙂

I used a super cool new sentiment-only stamp set called Happy Thoughts – which will be available to y’all on 5 Jan in the new Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog.  I also used a couple of free (with qualifying purchase) products from the 2021 Sale-A-Bration Flyer:  A Touch of Ink stamp set and Paper Blooms DSP.  Take a look-see:

This card layout is so fun – I love angled panels, don’t you?

I started with a piece of Soft Seafoam card stock and embossed it in the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.

Then I cut two pieces of the Paper Blooms DSP (free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration!) and adhered them one-on-top-of-the-other with Liquid Glue. Fun fact – the two designs I used are actually the front and back of the same piece of DSP!

I wrapped some Blushing Bride Baker’s Twine from the new Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack twice around the panel – securing it in back with Glue Dots.

On a piece of Whisper White – I stamped the sentiment from Happy Thoughts in Night of Navy and punched it with the Timeless Label Punch.  Then I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I tied a little bow from the Snail Mail Twine – added a Rhinestone Basic Jewel – and the card was done!

On the inside, I added a second Happy Thoughts sentiment in Night of Navy to a Whisper White panel.  In the corners, in Night of Navy, I stamped the sweet flower image from A Touch of Ink (free with a $100 purchase during Sale-A-Bration).  I stamped the fill image over top with Seaside Spray.

I used Liquid Glue to adhere another panel of Paper Blooms DSP (same as the one I’d used on the front) to the inside of a Soft Seafoam card base, then adhered the sentiment panel over top.  I popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals – and the card was done!

My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the Night of Navy and Seaside Spray A Touch of Ink flower on the front…

…and a little more of the Paper Blooms DSP on the envelope flap!

Now – this is where I’d usually say “Et Voila!”!  But…I liked this card so much – and I had more Paper Blooms designs to play with so….

I made two that were based on Soft Seafoam and two on Night of Navy.

The Night of Nacy cards use some twine from the new Well Suited Twine Combo Pack.  And the other difference is on the inside.  I used Terracotta Tile for the outline image of the A Touch of Ink flower – with Petal Pink as the fill.

I repeated that on the front of the envelope, too!

Now….say it with me.  Et Voila!  Just a few minutes to get four pretty Birthday cards – thanks to the Happy Thoughts and A Touch of Ink stamp sets!

…and the pretty Paper Blooms DSP!

I hope you like!
