Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Birthday Celebrations.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participant’s blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

Need a special birthday card in a hurry? Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP can help you do just that. From the beautiful patterns to it’s die-cuts, it has everything you need. Well, almost. You’ll still need  a stamp and some glue.

The bouquet on the front is a large die-cut from the paper pack. I love the colors. There are single flowers to make your bouquet 3D. Just add a little liquid glue to the bottom of a blossom and pop up the top with a dimensional like the image below. Voila!

What transforms a regular package of DSP to a Special DSP?  Sometimes foiled accents, die cuts and vellum.  In the case of Wildflower Birthdays it’s foil and die-cuts. One side of each sheet has foil accents while the second side is a beautiful design without the foil. Check it out below.

Don’t forget the inside!  Gingham and a little blossom cluster is perfect to sweeten up the inside leaving plenty of room to write.

Let’s get started on your own beautifully easy birthday greeting.
