Global Stamping Friends January Blog Hop Happy New Year

Welcome to the Global Stamping Friends January Blog Hop as we celebrate the New Year. Our wonderful Design Team members are excited to share their projects and ideas with you to help inspire you to get creative in 2023. With the launch of the new January-April 2023 Mini Catalog and 2023 Sale-a-bration Catalog, there are so many wonderful possibilities to explore. 

Today I thought I would share a pretty clean and simple birthday card created with the new Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper, which is a Level 1 Reward you can earn for free during Sale-a-bration with a qualifying $50 order. This particular design was cut from one of the sheets which has multiple designs that can be used to create a variety of products. I wanted it to be the focal image, so I chose to use the Something Fancy Bundle to create the sentiment so that it enhances the design rather than overpower it. I love the small coordinating die for this sentiment as it is perfect for these smaller sentiments and I struggle to cut straight lines to cut out small sentiments and have them look good. This die really does take the stress out of it for me and I am sure that I will be putting it to good use in the future.

This card design is all about the layers, with the Rich Razzleberry and Fresh Freesia cardstock providing a perfect frame for the designer series paper layer. I chose these two colors from the list of coordinating colors on the back of the designer series paper pack. This is a great feature that helps you pick colors that will work well with the designs in this paper pack and saves you so much time and stress trying to work it out yourself. For the sentiment, I stamped the Happy Birthday with Rich Razzleberry onto the Fresh Freesia cardstock label and then added it to the Rich Razzleberry Label, slightly offsetting it, to help it stand out against the floral background. The beauty of this smaller sentiment is that it doesn't cover up the pretty flowers and helps balance out the card design. For a touch of bling, I added several of the Fresh Freesia Opal Rounds and I love that look a little like rain drops. This pretty card design can be used for a variety of occasions, throughout the year.

Remember, during Sale-a-bration, you can earn Free exclusive products with qualifying orders. Today I chose to use the beautiful Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper, which is a Level 1 Reward that you can earn free with a qualifying $50 order. The Something Fancy Bundle is a wonderful combination of sentiments and coordinating dies that works well with this beautiful paper as well as other products you may already own. 

Note: The Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper coordinates with the Dainty Delight Bundle (item #160675) on page 55 of the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. This bundle has a wonderful combination of both floral images and sentiments that would work well with this pretty paper.
