2-for-1 birthday cards

Happy Sunday!

Today I’m sharing 2-for-1 birthday cards made with the Sweet as a Peach stamp set.  I decided to play along with Global Design Project challenge #GDP339.
The theme for this week’s challenge is Flowers which is perfect because Stampin’ Up! have so many floral sets to choose from but I’ve fallen in love with the pretty flowers in the Sweet as a Peach stamp set and have been using them for other projects recently so grab them again.  Sadly this stamp set is retiring in a few weeks but it is still available for the bargain price of £13.60 so head to my online store (links below) buy it now before it’s gone. 

2-for-1 Birthday cards with Sweet as a Peach stamp set

Head over to the Global Design Project blog to see all the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team here.

#GDP329 Theme Challenge

You can watch me make 2-for-1 cards in the video below from a wreath stamped on half a sheet of A4. My entry
to #GDP339 is the stepped up version while the other card is a good example of #simplestamping
and shows how easy it is to create a pretty handmade card using just ink,
stamps, card and a bit of bling (of course!).

The colour combo Bumblebee (sadly also retiring soon), Granny Apple Green and So Saffron is lovely and fresh – imho! Here are both cards together – do you have a favourite?
