It’s Your Birthday!

Howdy peeps! I hope you’re having a fabulous weekend! I’ve popped in this morning to share another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project. This pretty birthday card features PinkFresh Studio Hibiscus stamps, stencils and die in a bold orange and purple color combo which I love! And I absolutely love PinkFresh Studio products so this was definitely a win-win! I’m dedicating this card virtually to my friend, Debbie, since her birthday is coming up and I didn’t get a card in the mail! Happy birthday, Debbie!

I started off by stamping the floral images on Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the PinkFresh Studio Hibiscus stamps which I left on my Tim Holtz stamp platform. Using the PinkFresh Studio Hibiscus Layering Stencils, I applied Catherine Pooler Pixie Dust, Flirty Fuchsia, Bellini, Orange Peel, Sage and Eucalyptus inks. I put the cardstock back into the stamp platform and stamped over the images a second time in Versamark and applied Hero Arts Detail Black Embossing Powder to get a good crisp impression. I then cut the images with the coordinating PinkFresh Studio Hibiscus Die.

I die cut the diamond pattern into the front flap of the card base using the Sizzix Mixed Media Thinlits and adhered a piece of CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Flame cardstock behind the apertures. I adhered the florals to the card front with Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares. I stamped a variety of birthday sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the Taylored Expressions Simple Strips-Birthday stamp set and cut them with the coordinating Taylored Expressions Simple Strips Asymmetrical Die. The finishing touch was adding a sentiment strip and several Eyelet Outlet orange pearls.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip of CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Flame cardstock. I stamped a sentiment from the Ranger Letter It Shower stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added a small PinkFresh Studio stamped, stenciled and die cut floral.
