Read all about it! “This Little Piggy Says Happy Birthday!” And, I’m shouting from the rooftops that This Little Piggy Bundle is part of this month’s Perfect Partners promotion. That means that Stampin’ Up created exclusive, Playful Piggy Dies to go with This Birthday Piggy Stamp Set. Check it out in my Product List below. You can also scroll down to see the other five, Perfect Partners sets. Don’t delay, because the promotion ends September 30.
Read All About It!
This week’s Global Design Project is a sketch challenge, which is always a great source of inspiration. See what our designers created, then add your design to our gallery!
For today’s card, I began by stamping the birthday pig in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and using his Playful Piggy Die for cutting. The image was easy to color with Stampin’ Blends in four colors: Ivory, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight and Parakeet Party. After coloring, I attached the pig with Dimensionals.
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black Ink, used its Playful Piggy Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. Then, mimicking the sketch, I glued five, For Everything Fancy Sequins, in place.
The crooked newsprint in the background is actually Layering Vellum Designs, cut with the largest Deckled Rectangles Die. It is secured to the Thick Basic White card base (8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″) by adding glue beneath the pig, the sentiment, and the sequins. I used this trick to keep the glue from showing.

The Eden Die Set has a wonderful, leafy border, that I’m loving for Christmas cards this year. The large, oval, wreath was cut from Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper, and glued to a layer of Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
Decorated with Holly
Prior to gluing the wreath, I embossed the layer with the Merry Melody Embossing Folder. The music is wonderful for Christmas cards, especially since I discovered it is “Joy To The World.”To add red to my traditional card, I used a Real Red card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4”.

I’ve been cutting poinsettias from the Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper, but today I cut holly berries and two leaves. After cutting, I added a bit of glue to hold them together, and attached the three pieces with Dimensionals.
The sentiment is from the Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set, stamped in Real Red Ink on Basic White Cardstock. After stamping “Wishing you a season decorated with happiness and wonder,” I used a Potted Succulents Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals.

The Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper has beautiful poinsettias, which are fun to cut, once you get the hang of it. Stampin’ Up’s Paper Snips are the perfect tool for the job, and remember to move the paper, not the scissors.
Poinsettia Pines
The background for the poinsettias was created with two, large, Christmas Pinecone Dies. The bottom, thicker, layer was cut from Garden Green Cardstock, and the top, delicate, layer was cut from Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper in darker green. After cutting, I glued the pine layers to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red Ink, used a Potted Succulents Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals. “Merry Christmas” is from the Cottage Wreaths Stamp Set, and I love the small size and font.
After positioning the poinsettias, I attached them with Dimensionals, making sure they covered the sentiment label just a bit.
I’m entering TGIF’s challenge this week, “cut it out!”
