Happy Birthday Blog Hop - Glitter Birthday Wishes

I hope you are enjoying our Happy Birthday Blog Hop. I’m hopping with fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and Quebec, Canada.

Today’s hop features Stampin' Up! products used to celebrate Happy Birthdays. With have 3 current publications  so we have lots of product options to share with you!

Birthdays are for shiny happy wishes!

I knew I wanted to use one of the prints from the Picture Perfect Party 6"x6" Designer Series Paper.
I had the hardest time choosing one!  I gave up and left them all spread out all over the table along with some Happy Birthdays cut from multiple colors of cardstock using the Happy Birthday thinlit.

Which one of these designs would  YOU choose?
Ahhh!  So many choices & beautiful color combinations!  I LOVE this paper!

When I came back to my table to try again, the Berry Burst words were laying near this dotted print.  I put aside all the other pretty prints and went with it!  I knew I wanted to add some sparkle to the card so the rest came together easily. 

Below is a close up of all the sparkle! It isn't glimmer paper.

To make the shimmery Happy Birthday, use the Adhesive Paper to cut out the words!  Be sure that the adhesive side will be on the top.  Peel off the backing paper and cover it with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  Rub your finger over it to burnish the glitter into the adhesive paper.  Shake off the excess and you're done!  VERY LITTLE of the glitter comes off the paper. 

Now you can make "glimmer paper" with any color using super fine glitter!

RemARKably Creative Blog Tour: Celebrate NEW Products!

Welcome to this month's RemARKably Creative Blog Tour!  I'm honored to be a part of this blog tour again this month!  It is so much fun to see all the great ideas the fellow Stampin' Up! bloggers post on the tour. Such great inspiration!   This month we are featuring new products that could only be ordered beginning June 1.

This new Stampin' Up! catalog has so many samples that are on my list to copy or use for inspiration!  One of the samples that I really like is the gift bag on page 81.  I love the Celebration Time shaker part of it!  I decided to recreate it and put it on a note card.  

Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for the list of supplies used.

Although it is large enough to use on a greeting card, this cute card would be great to use to accompany a birthday or baby gift. Check out that super sweet itty bitty bow!  You make it with the Celebration Thinlits Dies! Super fast & easy!  

The Shaker part of the card is also made with the Celebration Thinlits Dies.  There are a ton of options for using these dies!  Inside the shaker, I wanted to add a little color. In addition to some silver and gold sequins from the Metallic Sequin Assortment, I used the 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch to punch some little circles from Pink Pirouette & Pool Party Cardstock.  The Foam Adhesive Strips made it easy to put the shaker card together.

I just love the new Mini Sequin Trim!  When I cut a piece off, I didn't loose sequins at the cut ends.  Awesome!

The new Decorative Ribbon Border punch makes it super quick & easy to make a nice trim on your card.  A nice feature is that it is 2-sided. If you turn the punch piece around, it has a nice scallop edge. 

As you continue through the rest of the Blog Tour I know you are going to love all the projects made with new products from  the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog!  You can click on a name to take you to the other participants in today's RemARKable Creative Blog Tour.
