Happiest of Birthdays

Even though we are all excited about the Thanksgiving, Halloween and Christmas projects we can make with all the amazing products from Stampin’ Up!’s August – December 2020 Mini Catalog, there are still birthday cards to make. That doesn’t mean we can’t incorporate some of our new holiday products, though. ♥ Here’s a simple birthday card I made with a new stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2020 Annual Catalog and some new products from the August – December 2020 Mini Catalog:

Tips, Tricks and Reminders

• Happiest of Birthdays. If you love a big, bold sentiment as much as I do, then you are definitely going to have to check out Happiest of Birthdays, a cling mount stamp set that’s new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2020 Annual Catalog. The sentiments are a great mix of beautiful, funny and modern. So many options for birthday projects for both men and women. Here’s a look at the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set:Here’s a closer look at the “Wishing you the happiest of birthdays” sentiment on the front of my card:
• Sneaky, Sneaky. Even though the recipient of this birthday card will have NO IDEA I reached into my Christmas papers to make this birthday card, I only had two options with this Poppy Parade polka-dotted paper: (1) a festive birthday card or (2) a Minnie Mouse card. Am I right?! Here’s a look at the bright, fun patterns and colors in the Trimming the Town Designer Series Paper:I added three Poppy Parade dots from the All the Trimmings Embellishments. These little dots are adorable and can be used throughout the year. Here’s a closer look at this fun pack of embellishments:I would have added the Bumblebee stars if I hadn’t already used blue and red – that was too patriotic for a birthday card. 🙂
• Simple Layering. It can sometimes be difficult to stamp right where you want a sentiment to be stamped. To prevent that, I stamped the sentiment (with Night of Navy on Whisper White cardstock) and then cropped it with a Stitched Rectangles Die. That gave me the opportunity to center the sentiment perfectly! Yay for dies! I framed the cropped layer with Night of Navy and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The Poppy Parade base of this card is 4-1/4″ x 11″ (scored at 5-1/2″). The next layer of Night of Navy is 4″ x 5-1/4″ and the Designer Series Paper layer is 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″.
