Stampin’ Up! Shaded Summer Happy Birthday
The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Summer Shadow Dies and the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set along with the Bough Punch, Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies, and Tea Boutique DSP. I remember some DSP that we had at one time can’t remember which year and since I thought it would look very well with this card design, I created a panel of it. You can see below how I did it.
My challenge today is with the Seize the Birthday Anything Goes – today it has an option Butterflies or Hummingbirds.
Since my card is a fun fold I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge.
To create the panel of stripe SSP (Shirley’s Special Paper) I used Washi Tape to create the stripes. I used a Blending Brush and the Sweet Sorbet ink from the stamp pad to color the stripes. When I pulled the Washi Tape off the panel, it left uneven places in the stripes just like the original DSP. My card is a CAS of one I made years ago from a stamp set that had a similar flower and if I remember correctly the DSP was a black background. I think it was before blogging days.
My card is a fun fold. I like fun fold cards. I started with a card base of Sweet Sorbet card stock. This is one of the new 2022-2024 In Colors. The card base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″. It is scored at 4-1/4″ and the left side is scored at 2-1/8″ also.
This is how my card looks opened out flat. The Tea Boutique DSP is adhered to the 1st panel after being matted on a Basic White card stock mat. I probably should have added a panel of DSP to the 2nd panel, but I didn’t. The inside panel has a panel of Basic White card stock adhered to the card base then my stripe piece is adhered over it. The sentiment from Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts stamp set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on the Basic White side of the panel.
Leaves are punched using the Bough punch, the butterfly is cropped from 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper. I cropped it from one of the lightest blues and then used a Blending Brush and Parakeet Party ink to color over it as the Parakeet Party was too bright. Part of the flower was cropped from Basic White card stock and colored using a Blending Brush and Sweet Sorbet ink. The frame of the flower was cropped from a piece of Sweet Sorbet card stock. All of these elements are arranged over two labels cropped from Basic White and Sweet Sorbet card stock.
The greeting label is cropped from Basic White card stock using the next to smallest die from Stitched Rectangle Dies. It is adhered over the Sweet Sorbet and Basic White labels and the flowers, leaves, and a butterfly are arranged around the labels. I do not think the glimmer of the butterfly shows up in the photo.
A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Tea Boutique DSP applied to the envelope flap.

Today’s card features an old favorite from the Annual Catalog. Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set is my choice for an anniversary card for my grandson and his wife. I am also using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder, the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
My card today features two stamp sets from the Jan. – June Mini Catalog — Dragonfly Garden and Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Sets.
This was an easy card. A card base and two panels of card stock matted on Calypso Coral card stock and popped on the Old Olive base. The Ornate Garden DSP panel is cropped using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies as is the Basic White art panel.
The Basic White panel cropped using one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies has the flower image from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set stamped in Garden Green ink and colored using Light So Saffron, Light Old Olive, and Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends Markers.
The swarm of dragonflies is stamped in Early Espresso ink stamped off once. I realize now I should have left it full strength after taking a photo.
The greeting from the Hey Birthday Chick is stamped in Old Olive ink on the corner of the Basic White panel. A single Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewel is popped by the greeting. 
The sentiment panel has the same flowers as the card front and a sentiment from the Hey Birthday Chick Stamp Set stamped in Old Olive ink on the Basic White card stock panel.
The medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of the Ornate Garden DSP added to the envelope flap.
