Happy Birthday with Hand-Penned for Paper Crafting Blog Hop

by | Jun 16, 2021 | #BlogHop, Paper Craft Blog Hop | 15 comments

A Floral Birthday card is always great to have on hand and definitely one I tend to need to create the most of. So sit back and let us inspire you with today’s Birthday themed ‘Hop’ around the globe.

Hand-Penned Floral Birthday card

If you have just joined me from Annette‘s Blog or as one of my followers, a big warm English welcome to you. For my share today, I have been busy creating my Floral Birthday Card using the Hand-Penned 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper #155499.

Quite often crafters need a little inspiration to create a quick card. I love Sketch Challenges and sometimes these are my ‘go to’ for such inspiration.

With a dear friend collected to House & Cat sit whilst we attended a family celebration, I gave her the choice of sketches the group would be creating for my Wing-It-Wednesday last week.

Multi-Layered Card Sketch

This is a fabulous sketch and shows how the layers can quickly pull a card together.

Sweet Strawberry flowers

The small flowers are from Sweet Strawberry stamp & punch bundle #159523 and are currently being used most days on a project. Remember, purchasing any of our bundles in the Stampin’ Up! catalogues, you will save 10% purchasing both stamps and die/punch together.

The Champagne Rhinestones #151193 are the perfect little addition to the centre of these flowers. If you like these Designer Series Papers, they are part of our July Card & Cuppa project kit. Please contact me for more details or shortly being listed in my classes tab.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project and have fun on your hop round the rest of the group today. Your next stop is Terri‘s Blog, so click below to see what she has to share with you.

Now Let’s Hop!

If you would like to see how this same sketch looks as a Christmas card, take a look at my previous post HERE, using the Tiding of Christmas Designer Series Papers.

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you back here soon.

    Lovely card! The flower punches are a great idea – they may start appearing frequently on my cards soon. Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks Terri. I think that flower from Sweet Strawberry is one of the most versatile EVER. A must have set and not just because I love strawberries ! LOL

    The layers of DSP give an added dimension. It seems like you can’t make an ugly card with that paper!

    Beautiful! I wouldn’t have thought to pair the Strawberry Blossoms with the Hand-Penned Suite, but oh my it totally works!

      Thanks Krissi, it’s my favourite flower embellishment in the catalogue I think. Small and delicate …. and a punch !
