Birthdays are special celebrations – there’s nothing quite as celebratory as bright colors, bold stars and a big sentiment. With those three elements in mind, I made this card for my friend’s birthday celebration:
The card features some of my favorite things from Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog – the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, a new core color (one of our returning In Colors) and a set of dies I can’t love more. The bold sentiment across the front of my card is from the stand-alone Wanted to Say Dies, new in Stampin’ Up!’s 2023 Annual Catalog. Here’s a look at these amazing sentiments:
Behind the sentiment are three 1-1/2″ x 3-3/4″ strips from the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. Colorful stars, circles and stitches in a chevron pattern. Together they make a beautiful mix. Here’s a closer look at how these patterns come together on my card:
Maybe the patterns aren’t designed to work together, but … it’s a birthday! 🙂 I tempered any clash of patterns with a very Blueberry Bushel backdrop. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper:
I’m so in love with the Color Refresh in the new catalog. I was CRAZY about Lemon Lime Twist and Pretty Peacock when they were In Colors – used them all the time. I wasn’t so keen on Berry Burst or Blueberry Bushel at the time, but I’m really loving them now. Blueberry Bushel really came through for me on this card. I even added an ombre page from the Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper behind the focal panel for a little added Blueberry Bushel.
Papers: Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, Blueberry Bushel, Thick Basic White Accessories: Wanted to Say Dies, Tinsel Gems Four-Pack, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Awesome card and love all the DSP prints together!
I love this bright, fun birthday card and the sentiment with the “shadow” image. That was what sold it to me. Enjoy your day!
Love the bright and beautiful paper too! Just perfect for summer celebrations!
