Picture Perfect Birthday Mash-Up for Facebook Live

Hello everyone! Today I wanted to share the projects I featured on my weekly Facebook Live video. I usually go Live on Thursday’s at 2:30pm CST, but this week I was under the weather and went Live on Friday. Thanks for being patient with me y’all! 

I have a free PDF linked at the end of this post that shares all of the measurements and a supply list for all of the projects.

Also, please JOIN my Facebook Group page to see more project ideas and videos by clicking HERE. Everyone is welcome! 

This week, I wanted to focus on the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set from the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog. I often find that I tend to focus on the Holiday Catalog at this time of the year, so I dialed it back to the Annual Catalog and want wanted to show how easy it was to blend stamp sets and product suites together. 

My first card was inspired by me sweet friend Laurie. Also, I can’t stop using this happy color combo of Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody. 

Ok, I’ll give it a rest…I promise. :) 

For my second card, I wanted to “fancy to up” with the Petal Promenade DSP and some snazzy gold accents. Same stamp set, totally different look. 

My third card used the same stamp set paired with the Balloon Celebration stamp set and coordinating punch. The scalloped trim from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits and Striped Scallops Embossing Folder were meant to accent the balloons.

Sweet Soirée Birthday Swap

Hello stamping friends! Today I wanted to share a fun fold birthday card with you. This fold is called a “Z-Fold” and it has been around for quite a while. I wouldn’t even know who to give credit to for creating it, but thank you to the person who did because it’s pretty cool! I’ve shared the measurements below in case you would like to make one as well.

For my card, I wanted to use some products from the Occasions Catalog that have been a little neglected in my stamp studio. I paired the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set with the gorgeous Sweet Soirée Specialty DSP. All of the paper in that pack is foiled on one side which makes it extra fancy.

Another item that I think is completely underrated in the Occasions Catalog is the Sweet Soirée Embellishment kit. There are SO many items in the kit, including lots of die cuts (vellum, numbers and some with foil detail), ribbon, washi tape, clothes pins, tassels. I used the floral die cuts on my card. They have gorgeous foiled accents on them and (at first glance kind) of look like you stamped, colored and fussy cut them out. So easy and so beautiful!

Here are the measurements for the card: 

• Marina Mist base: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4"
• Powder Pink layer: 4" x 5-1/4”
• Berry Burst layer under DSP: 3” x 5”
• Sweet Soiree DSP layer: 2-3/4” x 4-3/4”
• Berry Burst layer under sentiment: 2-1/4” x 3-1/4”
• Whisper White for sentiment: 2” x 3
• Whisper White inside card: 4” x 5-14”

One thing I am ALL about right now is decorating the insides of my cards. I love adding a little more detail other than just the sentiment. Since this fold really allows you to showcase the inside of the card as well, I used quite a few of the stamps from the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set along with the silver washi tape from the Sweet Soirée Embellishment Kit. Did I mention how much I like that kit?  

I liked this card so much I decided to use it for one of my team swaps this month! The only thing I really changed was how I tied the ribbon. I found the bow made the card a little tough to mail and the simple knot corrected that. Plus it was a lot easier to knot the ribbon when producing 10 of these cards. I actually made 2 different cards this month for our team swap. I’ll be sharing the other one really soon! 

I hope you enjoyed my card today! All of the products I used to create the card are listed below. You can click on any of those products to purchase them at my online Stampin’ Up! store. I’m probably going to pick up another one of those Sweet Soirée Embellishment Kits myself. :) Also, don’t forget that this is the LAST week for Sale-A-Bration where you can earn free product with your qualifying order.

Have a HAPPY day!
