This happy birthday card is headed to a dear friend who simply LOVES Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo. It’s especially dishy with the bold black and white patterns of Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack.
I’m also kicking off the week with a new Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge (MOJO404). My card measures 7″ x 4″ to honor the suggested Tall & Skinny design!
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- The classy “happy birthday” sentiment is from Tin of Cards stamp set, one of My Favorite Things from the Stampin’ Up! 2015-2016 Annual Catalog.
- Luscious. That’s the best way to describe Stampin’ Up! Melon Mambo 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon.
- How do you make a custom sized envelope for this 7″ x 4″ card? Stampin’ Up! Neutrals Envelope Paper (the perfect envelope weight in Whisper White, Very Vanilla and Kraft) and the Envelope Punch Board are the easy solution.
- My Envelope Liner Video Tutorial demonstrates how to create a pretty liner for any size envelope.
HOW TO TIE A PRETTY BOW? I’ll share my “bow-licious” tips from start to finish in a 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial tomorrow.

Mary, I love this gorgeous card, this is a happy card, so bright and cheerful, you can’t help but smile from ear to ear. Love the beautiful DSP in one of the layers, how striking the black and white design looks against the Melon Mambo hot pink.
The beautifully tied bow is the perfect finishing touch.
