Stampin' Up! Happy Thoughts Birthday Card

TGIF, peeps! How many of you are excited about that? I hope you have a fun weekend planned. I have so many birthday events in June that I still need to create more birthday themed cards. 

I used Sharon Armstrong's Mystery Stamping June 14, 2021, for my design inspiration. My colors are inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Color Challenge #366.

My card base is Just Jade. I colored some of the flowers with my Light and Dark Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends, the centers with my Bumblebee Stampin' Write Marker, and the sprigs with Light Just Jade Stampin' Blends. I sponged the die cut Happy Birthday (retired Happy Birthday Thinlits Die - 2017) with the three challenge colors.

On the inside I colored three butterflies (from the retired Beauty Abounds Stamp Set) with the challenge colors. The sentiment is from the Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.

I'm entering my card also at Aud Sentiments #277 ATG + a sentiment, Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper June 2021 and at TTTC118...I went from the upper left corner diagonally.


Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see you tomorrow. In the meantime, my goal is to figure out what to do about Blogger no longer using Feedburner for the people who follow me by email. If there is anyone who can help me, please leave a comment. I know a lot of Bloggers are switching to something called "follow it". I'm also having a big time problem with my permalink going to the incorrect post when I give my teammates the link for our Thursday Blog Hop. Guess I'll be spending time researching instead of in the card room unless Blogger Support or a reader can help me.

Measurements in inches:
Just Jade Card Base: 4 1/4 x 8 1/4, scored and folded at 5 1/2; 3 x 5 1/2, score and fold at 1/2" on 3" side
Basic White 4 x 5 1/4 inside panel
True Love DSP 2 3/4 x 4 3/4; 2 1/2 x 4
