Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop July 2020

Today we are hopping with Kylie's Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop as we showcase current products from Stampin' Up! You will be visiting with talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from around the world as they share their ideas and projects to help inspire you.

Today's card design is a pretty Summer birthday card featuring one stamp set and one die set using some old favorites. I chose the Beautiful Friendship stamp set (item #149252) and paired it with the Stitched Rectangles Dies (item #151820) to create this clean and simple birthday card.

For this card design, I wanted the stamped images to be the star, so I chose to use Thick Whisper White cardstock for the card base and I created the background layer using the Stitched Rectangles Dies to create the frame for the design. The sentiment layer in the center of the card was also die cut from Thick Whisper White cardstock using one of the smaller stitched rectangle dies.

My color combination for this card was Magenta Madness for the roses, Highland Heather for the detailed floral, Granny Apple Green for the leaves and Mango Melody for the centers of the roses. I really like how these colors combined to create this pretty design. I stamped each of the images using these Classic ink pads, onto the Whisper White frame. I attached the frame to the card base using Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up.

To create the sentiment, I heat embossed the sentiment image onto the Whisper White stitched rectangle die cut with Gold Embossing Powder. I added it to the center of the frame with Stampin' Dimensionals so that it was raised to the same level as the frame. To embellish the card, I added a simple bow created with Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and added it to the top left corner of the frame with a Mini Glue Dot. I used two of the medium Gilded Gems to embellish the sentiment label for a touch of bling. This bright and cheerful birthday card is simple to create with just a few supplies and you can choose your own color combination to personalize it for the person who is receiving it.
