Hello, Friends! Welcome to the SugarPea Designs 4th Birthday Bash Blog Hop! Say that 5 times fast! LOL! I'm so excited to be here celebrating with SugarPea Designs on this special day! There is a fabulous line up of designers that are participating in the hop today as well as some fabulous prize giveaways! You can find out all of the details HERE!
Here is the list of designers on the hop! I can't wait to hop along myself to see what everyone has come up with!
Kelly Lunceford (you are here)
For my card, I chose to go with something elegant and feminine. I couldn't resist playing with the Pretty Peonies stamp set. It is so easy to use and has so many wonderful sentiments, including a beautiful birthday sentiment.
I made two versions of the same design with slight differences between the two. I chose a Black, Kraft, and white combination for the first card and a Pool and Stone combination for the second.
To begin, I die cut a panel of Stone cardstock using the Card Front Element Builder as well as a piece of Pool cardstock using the same collection. I also die cut a large rectangle from the center of the scalloped Pool piece using the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Sugar Cuts. Once that was done, I centered it where I wanted it over the Stone piece and marked the corners with a pencil.
I die cut the same rectangle shape out of a piece of typing paper and lined it up with the pencil marks. I also used my embossing buddy to reduce the static for my gold embossing. I taped the piece down using washi tape and got to work adding the flowers around the perimeter of my cardstock. I heat set it using my heat tool.
After that was done, I had the perfect, crisp edge to line the blude piece back up with. I also erased the pencil marks. I heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of vellum.
For the black version, I embossed the sentiment onto a strip of cardstock. I used the rectangle SugarCuts to stamp a few more flowers using gray or black ink, depending on the design. A few sequins finish it off! Thanks for fluttering by!

beautiful use of frames
Oh, this is truly elegant. Such great use of the frames. Love them both.
I know SugarPea mostly for their ridiculously cute critters (which I love), but it's also nice to see how one can go really elegant with their designs as well. Thanks for sharing such a lovely card. The scallops and the light blue really help make this look particularly delicate along with the gold embossing and the detailed blooms. Thanks for sharing with us!
Nicely done!
