Hooray for Birthdays - Stampin' Up! Hooray for Surprises

   Long time no post right??!  I always have the best of intentions to stamp and post at least a few projects around Christmas but it seems that as soon as my out of town family arrives for Christmas week all good intentions are thrown out of the window!  I could have snuck away a few times to the stamp room but then I feel guilty lol!  I do have a card to share that I did make before they arrived but I just forgot to post it! 

  The Global Design Project has had a challenge going for the last 2 weeks and it's just about to end so I guess I'll get it shared before it's too late.  It's a pretty color combo and works well with some of my new stamps and looking ahead to spring!  I'm using Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Petal Pink.

  I pulled the background DSP from the new Lighter than Air DSP and then created a long narrow panel with the Perennial Postage dies.  I love the postage edge details these dies create.  

  The flower stamp is in the new Hooray for Surprises stamp set and I just stamped it in each of the challenge colors as well as a smaller flower then die cut them with the coordinating Hooray for Surprises dies.  The smaller flowers in the centers are popped on mini dimensionals and accented with retired opaque adhesive-backed gems.

  The sentiment is stamped in Basic Gray and cut out with the Perennial Postage dies.  A bit of Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Duo combo pack is adhered behind the sentiment and then popped on dimensionals.

  Finally a few Sale-a-Bration (SAB) reward Opaque Faceted Gems are added to the long panel to finish this design.

  Current products used to make this card can be purchased in my ONLINE STORE. Items marked with a * will be available starting January 4, 2024.

  Thanks for looking!  Did you stamp today?
