I’m so in love with the Schoolhouse DSP from Stampin’ Up! I only ordered it about 2 months ago so I need to hurry and make lots of cards with it before it retires on May 31st!
There are quite a few colors in this DSP that I could have chosen to highlight. I chose Pacific Point because up to this point (and I’ve been a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for almost five years) I honestly don’t believe I have ever used it! The bright shade of blue is wayyyy outside my comfort zone!
I used Pacific Point to layer both the card stock as well as the sentiment, but decided to use Whisper White for the base so that the vibrant color could shine. This bold birthday sentiment is from the Big News stamp set. I like it because it’s all encompassing. It can be used to create cards for both men and women, young and old. I used the Circle Framelits to cut the sentiment out and popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The banner is hand cut because I couldn’t figure out how else to do it, but now as I type this, I realize that the Banners Framelits would have worked perfectly! OMG! So use those rather than hand cut, lol.
I used Candy Dots in Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight because I am out of Crushed Curry candy dots, but honestly, I can’t tell the difference, can you?
And let’s not forget to decorate the inside!
Love this little candle!!

I am so happy to have you back! Your cards are always such an inspiration. Today’s card is no exception. Love the DSP and the Pacific Point highlights. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Sharon, so sweet of you. You’re comments always make me smile and are very appreciated! xx
Pacific Point is a go to color for me so I really like your choice.
Thank you Lynne! I think I will not be so afraid of bold colors after working with Stampin’ Up!’s designer papers this year, they have had some really great color combinations! xx
I love the clean simplicity of this card, Shannon. Those candy dots are the perfect touch for a fresh, crisp look. Love it!
So fun Shannon, love the great pattern paired with the blue!
Hi, Shannon. Was wondering what DSP this is…don’t have that one. 🙂 Great, clean and fun card!
Such a fun birthday card, Shannon! I love the candy dots and the little candle inside the card! XX
P.S. I LOVE Pacific Point :)))
