Painted Birthday Wishes with Love and Pals
Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is “Love Is In The Air.” We hope that you will be inspired by the creations the Pals are sharing with you! Then, you will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
You may be asking yourself, “How does this card fit into the theme, Rae?” Easy, birthday wishes are another way to share greetings of love. AND I have a niece who’s birthday is on Valentine’s Day. What’s not to love?
I love, love, love kits. With a little imagination, you can create some great alternate projects, like this one. This kit is the Painted Wishes, all inclusive kit. No stamps, no ink, no dies with this one. It comes with beautiful foiled greetings, ready to use. I used the Notes of Nature stamp set instead. I’ll save “ready-mades” for another project.
Let’s take a look at the kit.

Besides basic tools like Paper Snips and Trimmer, I added the Notes of Nature stamp set, Pretty Peacock ink, Multipurpose Liquid Glue and that’s it.
Nuts & Bolts
Paper Cuts:
- Petal Pink Card Base
- Layer 1 – Pretty Peacock Card Base cut down to 4″ x 5-1/4″
- Floral Layers – Fussy cut both sides of the Floral Card Base.
- Inside Piece – Fussy cut small leaf spray from the landscape floral piece.
Construction:
- Adhere the Pretty Peacock piece to the Petal Pink card base
- Use your Paper Snips to rough up some of the floral layers before adhering them to Layer 1
- Arrange some of the metallic twine included in the kit where the single flower will go. Adhere it with the included Tear and Tape.
- Adhere the single bloom with included Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Arrange some of the leaf sprays cut from around the single bloom and adhere with Liquid Glue.
- Use one of the included greetings OR stamp a greeting on one of the Lemon Lime Twist pieces in your kit. Trim and Flag the ends.
- Use the white side of the same piece to create a mat for the greeting piece.
- Glue #6 and #7 together with Liquid Glue. Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Arrange and affix sequins.
- On the inside, adhere the leaf spray to the top edge of the card. I used Liquid Glue for this.
Option: Make a pocket. Omit the topmost single floral piece and only glue the left and bottom edge of the large floral piece. You now have a sweet little pocket to tuck in a love note, tag or gift card.
