It’s hard to resist the adorable stamps, dies and designer series paper in the Birthday Delivery Bundle.  Today’s card is delightful for a child’s birthday card.  However, the suite of products has nostalgic images perfect for any age!

Save 10% on the Birthday Delivery Bundle!  This bundle includes 23 photopolymer images within the Birthday Delivery Stamp Set,  10 coordinating Birthday Friends Framelits Dies AND the Birthday Memories Designer Series paper.  Cool thing!  The Birthday Friends Framelits Dies coordinate with the many of the images in the designer series paper for even more versatility.

Watch my WOW! video above to see a demonstration of how the dies work with the designer paper!

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

• The Whisper White thick card stock base measures 5″ x 5″ with a mat of Pumpkin Pie card stock cut 1/8″ smaller.
• Polka dots make everything more fun!  This is just one of the darling patterns in the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper collection.

• Birthdays, bears and balloons!  How adorable is the image of the balloon toting bears? These images were cut directly from the Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper.  The bears were hand snipped and the balloons cropped with one of the coordinating the Birthday Friends Framelits Dies.

• The sentiment is cut with one of the Stampin’ Up! Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and a scalloped die from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies.

• A couple more sentiments from the Birthday Delivery Photopolymer Stamp Set continue the birthday celebration inside.
• A Must-Have!  The Envelope Punch Board made it a snap to create the custom size envelope.

• Hover and Pin it!  The photo below shows key products for today’s Birthday Delivery birthday card that you can save or pin to Pinterest.  If you are viewing this post by email, you’ll need to click the title of the post to access my blog and pin.  See ALL my labeled product photos in one spot on my How to Make Simple Cards board on Pinterest.  This project was created by my Stampin’ Pretty Design Group.

HEADING TO THAILAND!  This selfie photo is of my daughter, Caroline, and I waiting at the Tucson airport for first flight (of three) to LA. Then the LONG flight to Hong Kong at 11:55 p.m.(last night). Final leg is Hong Kong to Phuket, Thailand. A little nervous but excited.  You’ll get this post while we are still traveling.  We are so grateful to Stampin’ Up! for a mother/daughter trip of a lifetime!

I’ll keep you updated on our adventures (and great Thai food) on my Stampin’ Pretty Facebook page here.

Welcome to the June 2017 Pals Blog Hop. Thank you so much for joining us today. This month’s theme, Pick a “B”, features projects inspired by Babies, Birthdays and Brides to name few. You’ll get a glimpse of new catalog products while you hop with us today.

Whether you’re just starting the hop, or have come from a previous Pal’s blog, you’ll find the line-up toward the end of my post to help you move along.

“B” is for birthday boy gift card!  This card is destined for my grandnephew, Henry, who is turning eleven.  I think the primary colors and clean design are perfect for his “age group.”  If you search for “Henry” on my search tool (top right of my blog), you’ll see all the cards created for Henry over the years . . . a flashback to the day he earned his “big boy” overalls card here.  It’s one of my favorites but demonstrates how much he has grown up!

I love hearing from you. If you have a question or thoughts to share about today’s post, please, COMMENT HERE.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

• I adore the Pocketful of Sunshine Photopolymer Stamp Set and coordinating Pocket Framelits Dies.  They make giving a gift card or money stylish and fun for ALL ages.  Save 10% when you purchase them as a bundle.

• The Super Tool!  I used the Big Shot Magnetic Platform to keep the dies in place over the coordinating stamped images for their journey through the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.  Watch my WOW! video here to learn more about the Magnetic Platform.
• The sentiment was cropped with a fantastic, folding banner die from the Stampin’ Up! Cupcake Cutouts Framelits Dies.  I got the idea to use the banner die and Baker’s Twine (I used the new Dapper Denim Baker’s Twine) from the NEW Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.  It’s loaded with artful ideas!
• A Real Red heart (Brights Enamel Shapes) adds a pop of coordinating color, shine and interest.

• The Banner Triple Punch is a quick and easy way to create the perfect flagged end.  I used it on the Real Red piece of card stock.  Here’s my previously released WOW! video showing the benefits of the punch.

Thanks again for hopping with the Stampin’ Pretty Pals today. Take a minute to mark your calendar for our next hop on July 12^th. We’re having a pattern party! Now hop along using the Blog Hop Line-up below. See you on July 12^th for the next Pals Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for May 2017.  We are thankful you stopped by to take a look at our 2017 Blog Hop monthly themes. This month we are featuring projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. We hope to provide you with lots of ideas and that you enjoy our creations.

You may just be starting the Blog Hop or may have come from the previous link from the Line-up on the Pals Blog Hop listing shown below.  The full lineup will help you move along from blog to blog so you may see all the projects.

I’m “wild about” the Stampin’ Up! Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper.  It’s fun, whimsical and versatile enough for all ages.  I used four different patterns on this birthday card that is destined for my grandnephew, Sam!  Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper will be available for purchase June 1, when the Stampin’ Up! 2017-2018 Annual Catalog begins.

I love hearing from you. If you have a question or thoughts to share about today’s post, please, COMMENT HERE.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

• MY TECHNIQUE – PAPER SNIPPING DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!  The Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper is loaded with adorable, colorful images that can be cropped with Paper Snips. My Flirty Flamingo mammoth was snipped and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
• Here’s the 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial I shared previously with tips on paper snipping.  I like to leave a little white around the outside of images.  It’s very forgiving!
• It’s the little things!  A Crushed Curry heart (Regals Enamel Shapes) replaces the “o” in “you!”  NEW Crushed Curry 3/8″ Mini Chevron Ribbon (available June 1) keeps everything tidy and closed but will be easy enough for little hands to undo!
• This card  is essentially two cards that intersect each other.  The card base measures 10″ x 4 1/4″ and is scored at 5 1/2″.  The shorter portion faces the front.  The smaller card measures 8″ x 3 1/2″ and is scored in the middle at 4″.
  
• I paper snipped a couple more coordinating images from Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper for the inside of the smaller card and created a little “money clip” to tuck “Andrew Jackson” in place.

FREE DESIGNER SERIES PAPER COORDINATING COLOR CHARTS!

I love having a quick reference to the colors in Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper when I’m getting ready to create.  It’s so easy to pull coordinating Stampin’ Up! inks, card stock, ribbon and more!  Enjoy the NEW as well as the UPDATED 2008 – Present charts.
