Today’s spring birthday card includes a sneak peek of the Stampin’ Up! Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper (DSP). It comes in a chic palette of pastels including Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Bubble Bath and Fresh Freesia. The Lighter than Air Designer Series Paper is part of the Stampin’ Up! Lighter Than Air Suite Collection and will be available for purchase starting Jan. 4, 2024.
WHAT I LOVE! You also are getting sneak peeks of the coordinating Rainbow Adhesive Backed Dots and Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack (Lemon Lolly, Balmy Blue and Flirty Flamingo). I tied the Lemon Lolly and Balmy Blue Baker’s twine in bows, adhered them together (bow to bow) with a Mini Glue dot and then wrapped and tied Whisper White Baker’s twine around them in a bow. Splashy and simple!
NEED SKETCH INSPIRATION? The layout of today’s birthday card was inspired by the newest addition to my Stampin’ Pretty Sketchbook, Sketch #80 which I shared Tuesday!
