Irresistible Designs Birthday

This card was made using what I consider a hidden gem in the Annual 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! catalog.

The hidden gem is the Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). The Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP has UV-coated patterns that resist ink, making it perfect for emboss-resist techniques. You just apply ink and the pattern pops out. It's the easiest way to get a heat-embossed look--no embossing powder or heat tool needed.

Basic White cardstock was used for the card base, followed by a Summer Splash cardstock panel. The Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP was used for the top panel.

Spotlight on Nature dies were used to make the Summer Splash cardstock circles. Once the circles were adhered to the card front, Summer Splash ink was added, using a Blending Brush, to the inside of the circles to bring out the Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP pattern.

The flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape that has been backed with Basic White cardstock and then cut out using the coordinating Extraordinary Flora die.

The sentiment is from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set and has been stamped onto Basic White cardstock using Coastal Cabana ink. This panel was then backed with a slightly larger piece of Summer Splash cardstock.

A Summer Splash cardstock panel was adhered to the inside of the card, followed by a Basic White cardstock panel.

The sentiment is from the retired Sunny Sentiments stamp set and has been stamped in Summer Splash ink.

The flowers are from the Extraordinary Flora Washi tape. The flowers were fussy cut and then applied directly to the Basic White cardstock panel. A Bone Folder was used to smooth out and securely adhere the Washi Tape.

Here is what the completed card along with its coordinating envelope looked like.

The flower on the corner of the envelope was added using the same method as outlined above.

I hope you enjoyed my card for today!
