Today’s happy birthday card highlights the Stampin’ Up! Filled with Happiness stamp set, one of My Favorite Things from the spring mini catalog. The image is both fun to color with Stampin’ Blends and designed to be cropped neatly with the Modern Oval Punch. I popped the oval up on Stampin’ Dimensionals which created a perfect spot to thread my gingham ribbon below.
RETIRING COLORS – GRAB THEM NOW! Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party (and all their coordinating inks, paper, embellishments and more) are retiring along with the rest of the Stampin’ Up! 2022-2024 In Colors (Sweet Sorbet, Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide). They are crisp, bright, on-trend and have been incredibly popular. If you love them, I highly recommend purchasing them now since they typically sell out quickly.
