Inspired By Stamping October Release - Vintage Birthday & A Lovely Birthday

It's Day Four of our October Release Sneak Peeks at Inspired By Stamping!  This month we want you to help celebrate our birthday bash with us! Oct 6th – Oct 9th we will be having challenges each day! There are sketches and color combinations and a few other themes too.

Oct 10th is our release day party! All the product will be available for purchase at 7pm Brisbane time or 5 AM EST.  We will also be offering free shipping for 48 hours starting on the 10th AND all our new stamps will be at a 10% discount!

Today we are featuring Vintage Birthday and A Lovely Birthday.


I created a little 'plaque' for my 15 year old daughter, to remind her that she is beautiful.  It's got a piece of slim cardboard on the back of the cardstock to give it some heft.  The pretty pink floral paper is part of the Girl Birthday Bash Digital Paper collection.  This pattern is my favorite.  :-)


The little cluster below features a "Love" postage image from A Lovely Birthday, along with a White Curly Flower, pale pink Cherry Blossom, and a Pale Pink Medium Flower.


A Lovely Birthday includes the banner frame with spray of flowers.  I stamped and trimmed two of those, then added a sentiment from the previously-released Trendy Circle Sentiments.


The frame below is part of A Lovely Birthday, too.  I trimmed out the center portion and added some shiny mirror cardstock, and of course, pearls.  Vintage Crochet Trim added a little somethin' somethin' to anchor the frame.

OH, Col! Your daughter will LOOOOOOOVE this card! This is as beautiful as she is! LOVE the flower cluster and the mirror with that beautiful sentiment! BEAUTIFULLY done!

Natasha said...

Wow this is gorgeous, the whole project is just awesome but I love the mirror and sentiment, its something that all teenager girls should be reminded of frequently, in a world where kids want to be like someone else or are uncomfortable in their own bodies it is a beautiful way to get the message to our daughters without even being with them. Thank you so much for inspiring, I hope you don't mind if I use this idea to decorate my daughters bedroom mirror with? I just absolutely love it. Hugs xNx
