This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “Winter Birthday”. I have to admit, I make up the themes for our Saturday Blog Hops and I have no idea what I was thinking when I decided on that theme back in early December!
PARADISE PALMS
One of my favorite bundles in the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog is the Paradise Palms bundle! Since we have a home in Florida, we spend most of the winter down here where it is nice and warm instead of cold and dreary Ohio! I thought it would be fun to send a warm and tropical birthday card to my daughter-in-law who has a February “winter” birthday!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was added on top.
- A 1 x 4 piece of Sunshine & Rainbows striped DSP was added across the front.
- The 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 piece of Calypso Coral was cut with the Scallop Contour Die, then some speckles were “splashed” in the background by tapping a paint brush of watered-down White Craft Ink Refill against a hard surface and onto the cardstock. Let dry.
- The large palm tree and ground were cut from Basic Black with the Palms Dies and added to the Calypso Coral piece.
- A 1/4 x 2-3/4 strip of Pool Party cardstock was added across the front.
- Happy Birthday from Paradise Palms was stamped with Basic Black Ink on Basic White cardstock, then punched with the Double Oval Punch and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A trio of Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the palm tree for “coconuts”.
