Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Birthday Celebrations.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

I had fun using the Everyday Arches Bundle for today’s birthday card.

Arch Shaped Birthday Card

I began with a card base of Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, which I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, with the largest Everyday Arches Die. I placed the die as close to the edge as possible, without cutting the fold. Then, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Floral Vellum, and glued it in place.

Next, I used the fifth largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued it in middle of the card front. Then, I used the sixth largest Everyday Arches Dies to cut Gingham Vellum, along with Basic White Cardstock for backing. Prior to gluing, I stamped “Happy Birthday” in Old Olive Ink, and let it dry overnight, because it smears easily if it isn’t dry. This sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp Set, which I chose for the font.

The three flowers were cut from the Floral Vellum with a Delightful Wishes Die. Then, I attached the flowers with Dimensionals, and added Rainbow Dots.

For the inside, I used the second largest Everyday Arches Die to cut Basic White Cardstock. Before Gluing it in place, I stamped “you are simply fantastic” In Pool Party Ink. This is one of the fun, arched, sentiments in the Everyday Arches Stamp Set. I also stamped a flower from the Delightful Wishes Stamp Set in Lemon Lolly and Daffodil Delight Inks. The envelope flap was decorated with Floral Delight Designer Paper.

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing for “The Male Room” theme, where we’ll be making cards for the men in our lives.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.
