Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

I don’t make many slimline cards, but I should as they really lend themselves to differnt types of designs. For my card I decided to do an eclipse die cut sentiment. I first stamped the Stampin Up ‘Flowing Flowers’ with Altenew inks in Mountain Pine, Andromeda and Midnight Violet, the die cut the sentiment and popped the letters up. I added some coloured pearls to finish it off.

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you for our first one in 2026!

It was hard for me to feel wintery when making this card, as we’re in the middle of summer here in Australia and it’s a bit of a hot one!

For my card, I went with a retired DSP from Stampin Up called ‘Feels like Frost’ for it’s snowflake design. I then added some vellum over the top to soften the look with some diamantes in various sizes to hide the glue. I stamped up the cupcake from Averyelle ‘Cupcakes’ and used a sentiment from Altenew’s ‘Layered Cupcakes’. I added puffy paint to the cupcake to simulate the frosting and tied it all together with some pretty ribbon and twine.

I made a different style of box card, it’s an explosion box card. There are so many versions on YouTube, so check them out to make one you like. A work colleague needed a special card for her dad’s 90th birthday and he loves horses, so I made this exploding card for her to give to him.

I created matt layers with teal and caramel cardstock which I think complimented my horse DSP. The sentiments and box topper were die cuts. I added a bit of tuille behind the topper for a bit of something something! Inside I made a cake with candles on it and I provided her some white card panels for her and her sibings to write their messages on and adhere to the empty caramel areas.

Quite sometime ago, I saw a card made that looked like a piano, so I decided to give it a go and luckily I had a 12×12 piece of glossy black cardstock so I could make my piano cardbase. There was lots of cutting happening to form the piano keys and to get the piano shape right but I’m really happy with how it looks. I used some paper and fabric flowers and leaves in my stash to decorate the top of the piano, along with some large gems and golden butterflies and added some birthday sheet music to the cutaway area.

For my card I decided to use up some more scraps of cardstock, which was perfect fpr this challenge. I added a die cut floral sprig and a sentiment from Uniquely Creative and my card was done.

I love a bit of cheeky snark on a card and I knew I had the perfect stamp set for this challenge. I stamped, colourd and fussy cut threee of the women from the Whimsy Stamps ‘Gossip Girls’ stamp set, then added them to some 2022-24 In-Colour Stampin Up DSP with a sentiment I created on my laptop.

I used an awesome background stamp from Hero Arts ‘Waves Background’ that I inked up in Galactic Stream, Persian Blue and Artic inks from Altenew. I spritzed the stamp with water before stamping it to get the colours to blend a little bit. I then added some puffy paint to some of the waves around the die cut windsurfer. The sentiments are from Stampin Up ‘Waves of Inspiration’.

I used a stamp set and papers that came in a new kit from Simon Says Stamp called ‘Tweet Friends’. It was perfect for this challenge, with it’s sweet images and summery colours.

I love a no stamping challenge, as it makes me use items that I’ve often forgotten about. In this instance I used a new embossing folder from SSS called ‘Drifting Flowers, with some pink tinted tuille and some cut out cupcakes elements from an old DSP. The cardstock is from Stampin Up ‘Melon Mambo.’
