My friend Wendy recently posted a great way to use designer papers we all have in our stash. Wendy gifted me with a beautiful pack of this SU! dsp some time ago and I thought it was high time I started using it! It's called Wonderful World, and I made 5 assorted cards with these papers by using her design, but I'll share the other cards in the future.
For this one, I pulled out some older dies and made a birthday card.
To create the flower, I used a SSS set of Dahlia dies along with snippets of white, pink, yellow and a touch of Berry Bliss. The flower center was made with a SU! mini punch, and I added some Diamond Stickles for a little sparkle. The stem was done with snippets of green and dies from the Bouquet Bunch framelits set by SU! The hummingbird was done with a Cheery Lynn Designs die with a snippet of pink, doing a bit of coloring with Copics and adding a Nuvo drop of black for the eye. The sentiment was done with Gina Marie Designs dies and white snippets. I added a piece of pastel pink beneath the dsp that was also a snippet from a previous cutting.
I will enter this card into these challenges:
The Snippets Playground Challenge #446 - must use snippets
The Little Red Wagon Challenge #689 - Happy, Happy Birthday!
the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes
That's all for me today. We have snow/rain in the forecast so I'll most likely be at my craft table for a good portion of this day.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care and stay warm!

Absolutely gorgeous card Carol! I love the mix of papers in the different sized tiles and that hummingbird is stunning! What a brilliant way to use up those papers too! I really love this! Sorry I haven't been around as I've had some computer problems lately. HUGS
Wow!! AMAZING and SWEET!! It's a great way to use up those fabulous papers, and the idea to put that big flower and the hummingbird sucking it's nectar as the focal point of your card is so clever! They look just perfect with the DP patterns and are so eye-catching!! Fabulous dies used, love the sweet pink&green palette and the shades you gave to the bird! And that sparkling centre of the flower, wow! :)
I never use sketch, but in my mind I can see this adorable card as an inspirational sketch, too. All works so well together!!
Stay warm and cosy at home, dear friend, and take care! Sending lot of love, good thoughts, prayers and BIG hugs!
OMGosh!! I was in awe of your beautiful card today, Carol! You rocked the Stack & Shuffle Technique! Isn't it fun?! The hummingbird, flower and birthday wishes diecuts are just lovely and go so nicely with the paper. It makes my heart happy to see you using it! I love what you created and cannot wait to see the rest! I just love it! Today's weather was the absolute pits! It's rainy and got very windy out! Good day for crafting!
Such a pretty card - loving the colours used
A lovely layout and nice snippets card with the pretty papers and bold die cut sentiment.
Thanks for coming to play in the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND. Once you’ve finished playing on the swings, meet me and Di up in the Treehouse for a nice mug of hot chocolate! xxx
