This week, our family is enjoying some time at the beach, so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share projects featuring the Stampin’ Up! Sunset Coast Bundle.

Today’s birthday card pairs the beautiful Sunset Coast Suite with the Banner Sayings stamp set. The gorgeous patterned paper does most of the work, making this card both quick to create and absolutely stunning.

Sometimes all you need is beautiful designer paper, a simple greeting, and a few embellishments to create a card that’s sure to brighten someone’s special day.

I used Melon Mambo and Azure Afternoon cardstock to create the colorful layers, pulling out the vibrant shades from the designer paper and adding the perfect finishing touch to this cheerful birthday card.

Love today’s card??? Place a $35 purchase from me this week and I will send you a PDF to create all of this weeks projects along with this months Ferns & Flora PDF. Shop here.

It’s here and I could not be more excited. The best part will be the FREE class ($30 value) you will receive by purchasing the system.
