3 x 3 cards are the perfect accent for a pretty package or to tuck in a lunch box or suitcase for a little surprise.  Today’s trio showcases Sketched Birthday stamp set, available May 31, when the Stampin’ Up! 2013-2014 Annual Catalog begins.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • Each Sketched Birthday image and sentiment was heat embossed with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

  2. The balloon is my favorite. The Summer Starfruit banner is a nice compliment to the Bermuda Bay card. Just makes it pop!

  4. They are all very festive little cards. I would choose the cake as my MOST favorite, but the balloon in a close second. You have really shown a compelling reason to get this set. Thanks!

  6. I sure appreciate your feedback. It’s so much fun to share a new stamp set and get your reaction! Tammy . . . my new color charts (simplified with just a spot for the coordinating card stock colors) are ready but cannot be shared until the catalog and colors are live 5/31. Stay tuned!

  12. These 3×3 cards are really perfect for tucking into gift bags. It’s seriously too bad, but hardly anyone mails a card anymore with Facebook reminding you to do the deed online…but it also means when you do give a card, it’s extra special because it’s unusual. I get “wows” on the little gift bag cards and so appreciate you giving me more ways to do them!

  13. Great little cards, easy to make and so very pretty. I love how you added a little bling to each image, really fantastic colors. A set of this little gems would make a great gift. I like the card with the cake, love that blue candle with the shiny Rhinestone.
