Colorful, easy Candle Party card with video & free project sheet
Here is the second Birthday card I shared on last week’s video. I love these bright, colorful colors.
I used Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist with Poppy Parade here. I am so glad I purchased the Candle Party stamp set; I’m loving the neat images and greetings. The Shining Stars dies were used but unfortunately they are now out of stock and not returning. The Product of the Month is while supplies last.
I created a free project sheet for this card; click here to download or print it.
Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more.

Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP
I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.
Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.
When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.
The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here. I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.
It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.
Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!
Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.
Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU. I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.
Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!
Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.
How to use up those DSP strips! Video & free project sheet
I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s a great way (and easy too) to use up those scraps of DSP you’re saving.
Here I used the Violet Dreams DSP along with the Framed Violets bundle & Highland Heather ink.
I started out with 1/2″ thick strips of DSP and adhered the first to a Peaceful Pine CS layer at an angle. Then simply continue to add more strips leaving a space between each. Trim off the excess on all edges and adhere to a larger Peaceful Pine CS layer.
Adhere to your card base, add a greeting and die-cut accents and you’re done!
