Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Great Family Occasions.” We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I decided to create a birthday card using SNEAK PEEK products from the upcoming 2021-2022 Annual Catalog that begins on May 4, 2021!
- Quiet Meadow Bundle | Item 155847
- Hand-Penned 12×12 Designer Series Paper | Item 155499
- Pale Papaya & White 1/2″ Ribbon | Item 155816
- 2021-2023 In Color Jewels | Item 155571
- Evening Evergreen In Color Classic Stampin’ Pad, Stampin’ Write Marker, Card Stock, and 3/8 ” Open Weave Ribbon
- Soft Succulent In Color Classic Stampin’ Pad
- Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack | Item 155475


Begin by cutting a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock into three pieces: 4 1/4 x 11 (scored at 5 1/2), 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, and 4 x 5 1/4.
Adhere the 4 x 5 1/4 to the 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 with Stampin’ Seal.
Use the Evening Evergreen Stampin’ Write Marker to flick color onto the card layer.
Use the splatter stamp (Quiet Meadow Stamp Set) to stamp Soft Succulent onto the bottom left and top right corners of the card layer.
Distress the edges with a Bone Folder.
Adhere the card layer to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Use a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and several of the Meadow Dies to crop a piece of Evening Evergreen Cardstock that has been adhered to an adhesive sheet.
Adhere the largest die-cut to the card layer in the upper right corner as shown.
Layer and adhere a 3 x 4 piece of Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper to a 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 piece of Evening Evergreen Cardstock with Stampin’ Seal.
Distress the edges with a Bone Folder.
Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment (Itty Bitty Birthdays) & Love sentiment (Quiet Meadow) in Evening Evergreen Ink onto Shimmery White Cardstock.
Crop with the Coordinating Meadow Dies.
Thread and wrap White Baker’s Twine as shown, securing with Stampin’ Dimensionals and a bow.
Loop a piece of Pale Papaya & White 1/2″ Ribbon, as well as, Evening Evergreen 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon and staple to the top right corner.
Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with Evening Evergreen 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.

These layers and textures are perfect! I am a lover of tags, so I think the two sentiment tags are wonderful!
Beautiful as always!!
What a beautiful card, Stesha! Love the layout for the flower silhouettes and your colors!
Oh fun card!
Yes, yes and yes, Stesha! This is perfection in every way. I’m a big fan of “splatter” and “distressed”. You lightly used both. Love it.
Pretty card stesha! As always, I am loving your roughed-up edges and layers!!
Stesha, this card is paired perfectly, such a grand mix of colors! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Wonderful birthday card with Quiet Meadow, Stesha! I love this set too!
Even with the dark green, you made this card loom so soft! My fav is the splatter in the background!
LOve the way you added so much texture! Your cards are always over the top with details!
Beautiful card, Stesha! Love the new Evergreen In Color – you showcased it perfectly! Such great layering and sweet details, as always. Thank you for being part of the April blog hop!
This is beautiful, How do you make the splatter background? Thanks for posting the card.
I created a quick video to show you how I do most of my splattering 🙂
SPLATTER TECHNIQUE
The Quiet Meadow Stamp Set also has a splatter background stamp that I used in the upper right and bottom left corners to add more dimension.
Love your quick video. I bet a lot of other ladies will like this too. Great video, thank you so much
Fantastic card Stesha. The silhouette’s are a real standout. Thank you for hopping with us this month.
Beautiful card Stesha and I love your splatter technique.
