Here’s a sweet birthday card I put together using the Happy Hibiscus Buncle. The background Designer Series Papeer is fron Sale-A-Bration. It’s called “Fruit Salad”, and is fun, bright and adorable. (Check in tomorrow to see more fruit Salad in action). A “ready to go” sentiment from the new January-April 2025 Mini Catalog, makes it quick and easy to share your sentiment. Although these products are from different areas of Stampin’ Up!’s product releases, they work together well. It’s always fun to take a look at what you have, think about how you can use the products, and create something unique to your style.
The Happy Hibiscus Buncle
The Happy Hibiscus Bundle is available in the Online Exclusives. It’s a “Hybrid” Bundle that includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, and a 3-D embossing folder. There’s a large die that fits into the embossing folder that allows you to die cut and emboss the flowers at the same time.
The Happy Hibiscus Stamp Set is a two-step set. You can stamp the outline image, and use the “fill” stamp to add color to the flower. In today’s sample, I chose to stamp the flowers without the fill stamp.
The Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper
This is one of the FREE Sale-A-Bration patterned paper packs with a $60 product purchase. There are 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ double-sided patterned paper. One side is fruit-themed, and the other side has simple designs in fun colors you can use for backgrounds or layers.
Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack
As soon as I saw this Ephemera Pack in the upcoming January-April Mini Catalog, I put it at the top of my list. There are six sheets of punch out sentiments, four black lettering on white, and two white lettering on black. You can see, I used the white on black in my card and love the look!
Let’s Make A Card!
I cut a Thick Basic White card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and scored it at 4 1/4″.
The Basic Black cardstock layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
The patterned paper layer is 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.
The Basic Black cardstock circle is die cut from one of the Spotlight on Nature Dies. It measures about 3″ in diameter.
I adhered the layers to the card base, and attached the element cluster using Dimensionals.
