It’s got a bit chilly in Queensland this week! It’s nice to be snuggly at night, not quite so fun getting up at 4:45am for work!

We are casing the Birthday section of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue, pages 60-67.

I’m a sucker for a wreath so when I saw the card on page 63 with the butterfly wreath, I knew that was the card for me!

I wanted to have another play with the Pretty Perennials stamp set which is retiring from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue. I started off using the 2021-2022 In Colour DSP as the background, in Fresh Freesia. I love these papers to add a bit of detail but they aren’t too overwhelming.

I then cut out 2 Stitched Rectangles to create the frame and attached using the foam adhesive strips. I then stamped in Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink, the smallest flower from the Pretty Perennials stamp set and cut out using the Perennial Petals dies. I added dimensionals and made a funny shaped circle!! I coloured some rhinestones using the dark Polished Pink blends to add to the centre of the flowers. The long banner is from the Bloom Dies and the sentiment is from the Many Messages stamp set.

Next up is the lovely Tina.

We would love to see your creations casing the Birthday section, so please share over on at our Facebook group.

Happy Stamping!!
