Hi Everyone,
Welcome to my site. Todays Royal InKing February Blog Hop is all about Birthdays. The Stamp set I used has so many beautiful Sentiments and right now, it’s a Sale-a-bration set you can earn for FREE with a $100 purchase. But only until the end of February. Visit my shop to order at http://Jandufour.stampinup.net
Instructions:
- Cut Basic White Thick cardstock at 4-1/4 and score at 5-1/2 for a top fold card
- The Real Red cardstock was cut at 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 when embossed using the largest Stitch Whimsy die
- Designer Series Paper called Sweet Talk was cut with the second largest scalloped Contours die
- Using the Real Red cardstock again, I cut out the sentiment background with the second smallest Contour die
- I cut the Basic White sentiment 2-3/4 by 3/4 and Stamped it with the Happy Birthday from the Special Moments set
- The Real Red sentiment die has two slits on the edges (also one long one top to bottom) and I wrapped the ribbon in the lower one to offset the sentiment Happy Birthday

Such a great card using the hearts. Love it
Thanks Lisa. Always looking for ways to use up DSP!
Fun use of dies. And who doesn’t like hearts. They are year-round. 🙂
I agree, I’ve flipped through and I can use every page without it looking like conversation hearts! Thanks for looking
Fun, Cheery and Festive, thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. I had fun exploring new use for old dies, lol
I love your bright and cheery card! The dies you chose work perfectly together.
As I told Jackie, gotta use that beautiful DSP! Found the “slots” by accident (cutting out the die! Thanks for commenting!
Such a fun use of the heart-filled paper for a birthday card, Jan! Smart to show how versatile the products can be. Love the stitching around the panels on your card. ♥
Thanks Brian. I didn’t send any Valentines this year, so I have to use the pretty DSP somewhere, lol.
Hearts are perfect for that special birthday person! Neat idea on threading the ribbon through the diecut!
Thanks Marilyn. I didn’t even know the “ribbon” slices where there until I cut them out.
A sweet card that shows the hearts can be used for more than Valentine. I love it!
Thanks Jackie, gotta use that DSP right?
Jan, I love that you used “Valentine” paper for your birthday card. And running the ribbon through the slits in the die cut – brilliant!
Candy, I know you love this DSP!
