Saturday Blog Hop – Birthday Wishes

It’s Saturday and time for our Create with Stamping Friends Blog Hop.  This week our theme is “Birthday Wishes”.  In June, our family has SO many birthdays!!!  I seem to always use up my stash of cards during this time of year!  I had originally thought to do a masculine card, but this new Charming Day bundle has been calling my name!

CHARMING DAY

 

Stampin’ Details:

• The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Cloud Cover cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
• The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock was embossed with the Birchwood Embossing Folder and added to the front.
• Two of the leaf branches were cut from Cloud Cover cardstock using the Die and added to the front.
• The small floral image was stamped twice with Cloud Cover Ink and cut with the Dies, then added over the branches.
• The greeting was stamped with Cloud Cover Ink on 3/4 x 3 strip of Basic White cardstock and tucked under the flowers.
• A trio of 2025-27 In Color Flat Pearls were added to the center of the flowers and the background.

I love the monochromatic look and softness of the White and Cloud Cover colors on this card!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
