Perennial Birthday Blooms Cards

The new Perennial Birthday stamp is so adorable! It's designed to be used with the equally lovely Perennial Birthday Project Kit, but the stamp set is amazing on its own!

Perennial Birthday Project Kit—I LOVE the delightful Perennial Birthday Project Kit! It includes everything you need to create 4 each of 4 styles of birthday cards, and it comes in a pretty storage box. There are even monthly "perpetual birthday" calendar dividers to help you organize your cards throughout the year! The only thing you have to add is the Perennial Birthday stamp set! I'll have more information on this amazing kit on tomorrow's blog, so stay tuned!

Perennial Birthday Stamp Set—The blooms and bits in the Perennial Birthday stamp set are so sweet, but all of the birthday sentiments are my true favorites! This was a must-have set for my collection, and I've already found myself using it on card after card this season! I know you'll use it a lot, too!

Funny…today's Perennial Birthday cards do not even feature the sentiments that I love so much! That's because they are projects from my Kickoff Party and I had already used many of the greetings from this set on other cards from this 20-Card class! I was mixin' & matchin'!

Background Basics—I created a Crumb Cake card base with a vertical fold for this card. I embossed a 4-1/4" x 1-1/2" piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Texture Impressions Folder and attached it with a couple strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive and SNAIL for a secure hold.

Bitty Blooms—I stamped the Perennial Birthday flowers onto a 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" layer of Whisper White in the following order:

Stamp the larger oval blooms in Sweet Sugarplum ink randomly over the piece.
Stamp the leaves in Pear Pizzazz ink on each bloom.
Stamp the dotted image between the blooms in Flirty Flamingo ink.
Fill in the blank spaces with the small flowers in Peekaboo Peach ink.

After adhering the layer to the card front, I added a 4-1/4" x 1/2" strip of Flirty Flamingo card stock over the seam. I also tied some pink Love Mini Tinsel Trim around the card front into a double-knot for a little sparkle & shine.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped a greeting from the Watercolor stamp set in Sweet Sugarplum onto Whisper White, then punched it with the 1/1/2" Circle Punch. It's mounted onto a Crumb Cake label punched with the Everyday Label Punch, then popped up with Dimensionals.

Two Cool—The second card features the same elements in blues! The strip on the background was changed to Bermuda Bay and I added the gold Love Mini Tinsel this time. I used Island Indigo for the oval flowers, Pear Pizzazz for the leaves, Wisteria Wonder for the dots and Pool Party for the small flowers.

I also tried a sentiment from another kit, the Lots of Happy Card Kit, for this version, stamped in Island Indigo ink. Which color combination do you like best?
