Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Design Team December Blog Hop! We’re a group of Stampin’ Up Demonstrators from across the world that create two projects a month with the goal of inspiring you to make cards.
Here is our incredible team…

This month we are creating cards with a Happy Birthday theme. I know I can always use some new ideas for creating Birthday cards. I decided to use the new Framed Florets Stamp set and the Fabulous Frames Dies. The card is a simple book fold that features the Fitting Florets Designer Series paper. This paper is so beautiful you want it to be the main attraction.

To Make This Card:
- Use a 5.5″ x 8.5″ (14.9 cm x 21 cm) piece of Balmy Blue cardstock and score at 4.25″ (10.5 cm). Use a bone folder to make a crisp fold on the score line
- Attach a 4.0″ x 5.25″ (10 cm x 14.4 cm) piece of Fitting Florets Designer Series paper to the card front using your favorite adhesive.
- Use the frame die from the Fabulous Frames Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out a frame out of Balmy Blue and Basic White cardstock.
- Attach the Balmy Blue Frame in the center of the Fitting Florets Designer Series paper.
- Stamp the “Wishes For A Beautiful Birthday” sentiment onto the inner piece of the Basic White Frame using Balmy Blue ink.
- Use dimensionals to attach the stamped Basic White Frame to the center of the card.
- Tie a double bow using Polished Pink Ribbon and attach to the card using a glue dot.
