Sweet Citrus Birthday

March 14, 2023

Welcome to the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators that hop together on the 14th of the month. This month the theme is Birthdays! Hop along with us and check out some fun and fabulous birthday ideas.

I was looking through my patterned papers and came across the Tea Boutique DSP. When I saw this pattern it reminded me that I needed to use the Sweet Citrus bundle. My card is a little busy but I am okay with it. I used 2 different patterns of Tea Boutique DSP for the front of the card. I used Crushed Curry ink for the lemon peels and Daffodil Delight for the pulp. The leaves seemed too dark stamped in Garden Green full strength so I stamped the leaves off once to get a less intense color. I used Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots for the centers of the flowers. The Garden Green ribbon is a carryover item from the last mini catalog. It was paired with Real Red ribbon. The Garden Green scalloped frame was cut using the Scalloped Contours dies and the Basic White rectangle was cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. Isn't that sentiment so fun? I usually like things straight but somehow this little banner only looked right at an angle.

You know I like to decorate the inside of my cards whenever possible. Here I used an extra flower, leaves, and a layered piece of DSP. Doesn't it looks finished and ready for me to write in and send?
