Happy birthday Sweetest thing

I know I’ve used this set a lot, but its just the best bundle to create birthday cards with. Who doesn’t love sweets?
Sadly, this set is retiring in just a couple of weeks.
You’ll be able to purchase this set through my Stampin up store until midnight 3rd June, but there is a chance it may sell out before then so I’d advise you not to wait.

My card base is 5″ x 7″, i tend to make a lot in this size and also 5″ x 5″ and 6″ x 6″ make a good size too. All supplies used are available from my Stampin Up website HERE

Card Supplies

• Sweetest thing Bundle (stamp set and cutting die set)
• Melon Mambo & bermuda bay ink pad
• Aqua painter (or watercolour paintbrush)
• Colouring medium (i have used matching Stampin Blends)
• 15″ length of ribbon (the ribbon I’ve used was from sale-a-bration and no longer available but we have plenty more in the current catalogue)

Card details

• Take your Aqua painter and brush plain water onto the watercolour card where you want the ink to go.
  * Pre coating the watercolour card stock with water makes the ink smoother when applied.

• Colour the sweets with your chosen colouring medium or as i have done, select coordinating stampin up blenders.
• Wrap your ribbon around the lower end of your watercolour cardstock. Adhere with glue on the back, cut off excess ribbon and tie a bow. Adhere the bow with a glue dot.
• Place 3d foam pads onto the back of the sweet jars, position & adhere onto the watercolour card front.
