Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Blog Hop

Birthday Wishes Theme!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Stamping Friends.  I think one of the most created cards for cardmakers is probably birthday cards followed by Christmas or maybe vice-versa. That’s our theme this week for our weekly blog hop: Birthday Wishes!

I loved diecutting all of the layers for my birthday cake. It’s made easy using dies from the Cake Celebrations Bundle. You can make your cake as low or as high as you wish. And the pretty stamped and diecut flowers are so pretty too!

Stampin’ Up! Products Used:

• Stamps: Cake Celebrations
• Inks: Old Olive, Timid Tiger, Petunia Pop
• Cardstock: Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink, Timid Tiger, Basic White
