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”.
Very fun card for a “winter” birthday, don’t you think? OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
