I have a lot of Sweet Pea Stamps (SPS) images in my collection, both rubber and digital stamps.
So, I chose one of each format and created two birthday cards for loved ones to share with you today! :)
So, I chose one of each format and created two birthday cards for loved ones to share with you today! :)
The first card is by Ching Chou Kuik, Carousel Allure
I have the rubber stamp version and used it for this creation. Though if you are interested in this image, it's still available as a digital stamp in the SPS store!
I loved this Ching Chou Kuik image (CCK) the first time I saw it in the SPS store!
I felt it would be perfect for a birthday card and especially for my cousin, who is like a sister to me! :)
<3!
The image has such elements of elegance, fun and celebration all in one. Perfect for my cousin!
So I tried to keep with that feeling and keep it a little bit simpler too.
- 5x7 cream card base, added patterned paper and a layer of cardstock.
- Colored rubber stamped image with Prismacolor colored pencils, watercolor and soft core, with a few parts in marker.
- Added dimension/fun elements: Gold Stickles, Gelly pen, Glossy Accents, Happy Birthday confetti, Recollections paper flowers and some added pearls/rhinestones.
Hope you can see that I added Stickles to the 'Happy Birthday' word confetti, part of the carousel globe and glossy accents to the lady's eyes too! :D
Couple more close up pics....
Used the digital stamp of this image and it's still available in the SPS store too if you are interested -
(I took several pics. of this card, but only 1 of them really came out the way I wanted it too...:/ :( )
I apologize, but hope that you can still see the detail and that you can still appreciate her beauty! :D

I loved the uniqueness of this image and thought it would be perfect for a girl's birthday card!
I have a dear college friend who's daughter and I share a birthday, so I try hard to pick out an image each year that I think she'll enjoy!
I liked the birthday fun elements of the Birthday confetti so I added them to this card as well!
I didn't want to make the colors too bold, so I thought pastel with some pops of darker shades and a little more fun dimension would be great for her card this year! :)
Not sure if you can see it...but I used metallic shimmer crayons in the mermaid top/body/tail! :D
- 5x7 white card base, patterned paper and a few layers of cardstock.
- Colored digital image mostly with Crayola crayons
- Added dimension/fun elements: Silver Gelly pen, Glossy Accents, Happy Birthday confetti, Recollections rhinestones and some green fabric ribbon that reminded me of seaweed! :D
- Added number stickers to indicate her age this year! :)
I appreciate your comments and hope you've enjoyed my blog post!
*huge hugs!*
