A couple of month’s ago I made a birthday card for my brother in law using the Nothing Sweeter stamp set , I liked it so much that I have made a girlie version today.
Girlie Nothing Sweeter Birthday Card
I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜”. Using the scalloped die from the Sweetly Stitched Framelit dies and my Big Shot, I embossed it 3 times along the bottom of the panel.

I rounded the upper left corner using the Detailed Trio Punch and added the panel to a Daffodil Delight layer with a rounded upper left corner, measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I wrapped a piece of ⅛” Lovely Lipstick Grosgrain Ribbon around the panel above the scalloped embossing securing it on the back with Sellotape and added a bow with a Mini Dimensional. The panel was then added to a Lovely Lipstick card base with a rounded upper left corner using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next I stamped the parcels onto some scrap Whisper White in Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight inks. The outer part of the parcel was stamped in full strength, 1st generation ink. Inside each parcel was stamped in 2nd generation ink, ie stamped off once to give a lighter shade. The stripes were added in the 1st generation ink. The parcels were then die cut using the Sweetly Stitched dies and the Big Shot.

The die cut parcels were then added to the card front, the Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight parcels with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Lovely Lipstick parcel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink onto a ⅜ strip of Whisper White which was trimmed to fit and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots for a bit of sparkle.
I love the summery colours of this card, so refreshing after all the Christmas colours.
