Hello - and welcome to Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I'm glad you stopped by. 

So here is a card that I actually created before the holidays, but I think it is still appropriate for the winter season.  I bet if I changed the card base card stock and ink colors to Early Espresso or Boho Blue, that would be perfect for a winter card.  

The strip the bird is siting on is 2" x 4" and matted with Basic Beige card stock measuring 2-1/4" x 4". 

The designer series paper, twine and embellishments are all included in the suite collection, along with stamps and dies.  The only extra tiny, little piece is the green glimmer paper which is from the Festive 12" x 12" Glimmer Paper pack.  

Hope you like this project and share if you try to make this one in other colors!

Welcome to our We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop.  I think we are all equally excited for this month blog hop, not only because its a new year, but we are celebrating all new things from Stampin' Up!  Yep, the new Mini Catalog goes live on January 7th plus it is Sale-a-Bration time!  Let's get seeing what everyone is sharing...

First off, Happy New Year to all of you on the first day of a brand new year.  Maybe 2025 be filled with lots of joy and laughter.  Not only is it a new year, it is also my aunt's birthday!  Yep, she's a new year baby and turned 91 years old today. 

My card is in celebrating of her birthday using the upcoming New Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection.  I'm a sucker for sets with alphabet and number dies so I had to have it.  And I am not disappointed with this one.  The Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Paper is awesome!

I wanted to be sure you can see that Specialty DSP paper with Gold Foil!  The paper is really lovely so let's take a look at another photo. 

Here's a list of items included in the suite collection:

• Birthday Celebration Bundle (stamp set & dies)
• Party Dots
• Gold 1-1/2" Open Weave Trim
• Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper
  
  • has lots of gold foil on one side of each sheet
  • two of the sheets have labels/images/tags
  • two sheets are Full of Die Cuts Image (that is where the balloons in my card are from)

This suite collection is a definite favorite for me.  The color combinations are so fresh and pretty.  (Pool Party, Pretty In Pink, Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, Peach Pie, Daffodil Delight, Soft Sea Foam and Gold)

So mark your calendars for January 7, 2025:  Jan-May 2025 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration go live!
