Stampin' Up! Wild Bunch Penguin Birthday Card Tutorial with Paper Strip Technique

 Hi Friend!

Today I'm sharing this adorable birthday card featuring the Wild Bunch stamp set and a fun paper strip background technique.

I love how the simple black and white design allows these sweet penguins to take centre stage. The diagonal paper strips add interest and movement to the card, while the pops of orange give it a playful birthday feel.

One of my favourite things about this design is that the background looks impressive but is actually very easy to create. It's a wonderful technique to add to your card-making toolbox and can be adapted for so many different themes and occasions.

Be sure to watch the video tutorial below where I walk you through creating this cute birthday card step by step. In the video, I'll share all the measurements, demonstrate the paper strip technique, and offer a few tips along the way. Whether you're crafting right along with me or simply looking for inspiration, I hope you'll enjoy today's project and be inspired to create your own version.

Happy stamping!

Stampin' Up! Wild Bunch Snail Card with Window Technique and Measurements

 Hi Friends!

Today I'm sharing this adorable note card featuring the Wild Bunch stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I couldn't resist using this sweet little rainbow snail as the focal point of the card. The soft Pool Party background, colourful striped paper, and textured details create a cheerful design that would brighten anyone's day.

One of my favourite features of this card is the pair of window openings that allow the striped paper to peek through. It's a simple technique that adds interest and colour while still keeping the card clean and easy to recreate.

Although I didn't create a video tutorial for this project, I've included the measurements and complete supply list below so you can make your own version. Try changing the colours or patterned paper to create a completely different look while using the same layout.

• Pool Party            8-1/2 x 5-1/2 and 5-1/4 x 4
• Basic White         5-1/4 x 4 (inside) and 2-1/2 x 2 (snail)
• Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP    5-1/8 x 3-7/8
• Ink:                      Memento
• Blends:   Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake
• Other:     Array of Dots, Nested Essentials dies, Textured Tree Ring embossing folder,                      Wink of Stella

I hope today's project inspires you to pull out your stamps and create a handmade card just because. Sometimes the simplest cards are the ones that bring the biggest smiles.

Adorable Koala Birthday Card with the Wild Bunch Stamp Set

Hi Friends!

Last week I shared this sweet birthday card featuring the Wild Bunch stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

I absolutely fell in love with this little koala wearing his party hat. Paired with the hanging greenery and tiny ladybugs, he makes such a fun and whimsical birthday card.

During the live demonstration I shared some simple colouring techniques and showed how easy it is to create a cute scene card with this adorable stamp set.

If you missed the live video, you’ll find the replay below. I hope this little koala brings a smile to your face and inspires you to create a playful birthday card of your own.
