This birthday card was created using Stampin Up's Falling Flowers stamp set and the coordinating May Flowers Framelits for the flowers and leaves, which were stamped with their Elegant Eggplant and Pear Pizzazz inks.  The butterfly was die cut with their Butterflies Thinlits dies. The sentiment is from their Best Birds stamp set.
This birthday card was created using flowers and leaves from Stampin Up's Falling Flowers stamp set and the coordinating May Flowers Framelits.  I used their Berry Burst and Whisper White inks. The sentiment is from their Butterfly Basics stamp set.
This birthday shaker card was created with the Balloon Pop-up Thinlits dies from Stampin Up.  
Here is another Birthday card cut using Stampin Up's Balloon Pop-up Thinlets Dies to cut the bows for these party packages.  The Sentiment was stamped and embossed using their Stylized Birthday stamp.
Worked this week on some Balloon Adventures Birthday Cards by Stampin Up.  Wanted something simple that could be used for anyone.  The background on this first card was stamped using the confetti stamp in the stamp set.  The balloons were die cut using their coordinating Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits dies. And the sentiment was cut with their Happy Birthday Thinlits die. 
Here are a few more examples using the same set:

The  outlined leaves on this card I designed, were stamped using Stampin Up's Colorful Seasons set using Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Tranquil Tide, Always Artichoke, Rose Red and Fresh Fig inks.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set. After stamping the leaves I used one of SU's Blender Pens to sort of water color the leaves. Then for some dimension added a few die cut leaves from the coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlets.  
This Thank You card was created using Stampin Up's Daisy Delight stamp set (Daisies - Lemon Lime Twist, Tangerine Tango ink with Crushed Curry Centers)and Daisy punch and the leaves were stamped from their Falling Flowers stamp set (Garden Green ink)and then die cut with the coordinating May Flowers Framelits dies. The sentiment is also from the Daisy Delight set.  I water colored the background using Lemon Lime Twist ink.
Another Happy Birthday Card using Stampin Up's Flower Shop stamp set.  The flowers  and background were stamped using Daffodil Delight and Pacific Point inks.  I added some buttons to the center of the flowers and a few blue rhinestones. The sentiment is from the Best Birds stamp set and added to a die cut using one of the SU Stitched Shaped oval Framelits dies.   
This Birthday card was based on a PIP by Sandra from Violet vs Purple. The flowers were stamped using Stampin Up's Daisy Delight stamp set and Calypso Coral Ink.  An embossed panel was added to the side of the card.  The sentiment is from SU's Best Birds stamp set. 
This card was created using Stampin Up's Happy Birthday Thinlets die.  I water colored the flowers and leaves that I had stamped using SU Grateful Bunch stamp set with Memento Ink, then spattered the background using their Aqua Painters. I used SU Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, and Old Olive inks for the water colors.  
This card was CASEd from a card made by Jan B and posted on You Tube.  It was actually the first card I made from Stampin Up's Daisy Delight stamp set.  It is a layered stamp set - the flower stems are stamped and then the flowers and buds aligned and stamped separately.  I embellished the daisies with some pearls and added Bitty Butterflies stamped with the SU Papillion Potpourri stamp set. I used SU Sweet Sugarplum and Old Olive inks.  And then added a drop of ink to my SU spritzer to add some color to the background. The sentiment was a die cut created in Cricut design space.

The first card was stamped using Stampin Up's Flower Shop stamp set and Melon Mambo ink.  Then I cut out the "thank you" on my Cricut explore air. I love this effect and so I printed out another mat with one of my favorite pictures from my perennial gardens.  Cut out the letters same as before.  I am keeping this in mind for some other photo style cards as I have lots of great flower and scenic pictures.


This Cricut die cut card from their Create-A-Critter set was made for a special little girl who loves Monkeys and is soon to celebrate her 2nd birthday.

One of my all time favorites this card is another combination of several of Stampin Up's stamp sets, punches, and inks.  The ferns are from their Butterfly Basics stamp set, the flowers from their Petite Petals stamp set, the butterflies from their Papillion Potpourri set, and the sentiment from their Colorful Seasons stamp set. I used their Tranquil Tide and Melon Mambo inks.
A really quick and easy birthday card using the new Stampin' Up! Happy Birthday Thinlets die.  On a sheet of coordinating paper, framed with a cutout I created using my Cricut Explore Air machine.  Love the new die!!
This is a single color card - everything was stamped with Stampin Up's Wisteria Wonder ink.  The flowers and stems are from their Falling Flower stamp set. The butterfly from the Butterfly Basics Stamp set, punched with the Elegant Butterfly punch. The sentiment from their Daisy Delight stamp set. I love the monotone color palette.
The flowers on this card are stamped using Stampin Up's Flower Shop set and punched out with their pansy punch.The leaves are from their Flower Patch stamp set with coordinating Flower Fair Framelits dies.  The butterflies are from their Butterfly Basics stamp set and punched with the Bitty Butterfly punch.  And the sentiment is from their Best Birds stamp set. All of the items were created using their Crushed Curry Ink.

Another Happy Birthday card using the Best Birds stamp set from Stampin Up. The background and sentiment were  stamped using stamps from the same set using Blushing Bride ink. The branches and flowers are from the Seasonal Layers Thinlets dies. 
The flower and leaves on this card were die cut from Stampin Up's May Flowers Framelits.  The center of the flower is embellished with a single Petite Petals flower stamp. The butterfly is from their Butterflies Thinlets dies.  The branches were stamped using the Falling Flowers stamp set using Old Olive ink. 
This Birthday card is somewhat similar to others I have created but unique because three of daisies from Stampin Up's Daisy Delight stamp set were stamped directly on the card and the other two were popped up to add some dimension.  I used Bermuda Bay and Rich Razzleberry inks.
