Happy Birthday Revisited

I recently read about a demo who is case-ing her own cards from previous years.  I thought that was a great idea!  So, while I won't do it every day, from time to time over the next year I will case / recreate a card I've previously posted. 

Today I recreated a card from just a year ago -- and without many changes, just updated products.  This was one of my most pinned cards over the last 12 months.

2017's card:

2018 card:

I prefer this year's card.  The colors and Designer Series Paper seem so fresh, even though the card is so similar to last year's.  So what do your think?  Which do you prefer?  And do you like this idea of looking back and recreating a card from the past?  I love to hear your thoughts!

Petal Passion Birthday

Hello crafty people!

I hope your week is off to a good start! We had beautiful weather here to start the week, but apparently it's downhill from here.  That's OK....it was enough for me to know that spring is not far off!

Have you seen the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper in the Occasions catalog?  It's beautiful, s shown, in black and white, but it's more beautiful when a little color is added!  Here is the BACK of the image panel for today's card.

I think it's pretty enough to be it's own card.  But, it's not my card for today...maybe another day!  Here is today's card:

I used the Stampin' Blends to color the designer series paper.  I added a banner from the turquoise  glimmer paper, and my greeting is cut from the Happy Birthday Thinlits in Champagne Foil.

Soft Sky Birthday

Hi everyone,

Sometimes there is a product that gets used over and over.  So it is for the new Happy Birthday Thinlits for me.  I had the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper Pack sitting on my desk from last night's card.  I love the colors in that paper, so I grabbed a new piece of paper and came up with today's card.  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday in Calypso Coral and Tranquil Tide

Hi everyone!  

I have a quick card share for you today.  Tomorrow is Day 1 for the new annual catalog and I need to finalize my order!  I have three lists here, but I need to condense it down to one!  So, forgive me for posting and running, but I have pressing matters at hand!

Quick reminder and things to remember....ordering starts at noon Mountain Time.  So, if you try to order before Stampin' Up is ready, you won't get in.  The ordering system at Stampin' Up! will be VERY busy tomorrow, and will probably be down for part of the day.  Anxious customers and demonstrators usually crash the system a couple of times during the day.  

Now for my card:  

The Happy Birthday greeting is die cut in both Calypso Coral and Tranquil Tide.  After layering, I added a little Wink of Stella to add a little sparkle to the image.  The Designer Series Paper in the background of the image panel is the new Delightful Daisy pack.  I finished off the card by adding a piece of 1/2" Woven Ribbon in Tranquil Tide and three Clear Faceted Gems.

Lemon Lime Twist Birthday

Hello stampers,

Today I have another sneak peek for you from the new catalog.  This birthday card is really quick and easy, but has a wow factor.  See if you agree.

The Happy Birthday Thinlits is on Copper Foil and adhered to a piece of Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack.  I love the distressed look of all the images in this paper stack! I attached some 1/2 inch Finely Woven Ribbon in Lemon Lime Twist and a matching bow from the 2017-19 In Color Bitty Bows.  The main image panel is adhered to a piece of Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock and all is mounted on a base of thick Whisper White Cardstock.
