Ultimate Birthday Inspiration

Hello and welcome to the fourth day of the Papertrey Ink July countdown and the first Design Team group post. Today's group post is all about showcasing this months new birthday product which includes Inside & Out: Birthday II, Bitty Background Blocks, By the Numbers Border dies, Suffix Style dies, By the Number Mats dies, Rainbow Stripes dies and Rainbow Circles dies.  What a wonderful compilation of birthday essentials this month has in store!  I've had a ton of fun playing with it all and I have a ton to share with you today.  Let me get started...

First up, a look at the Rainbow Stripes dies.  I cut the stripes from two pattern papers.  One being a bit more busy than the other to stand out as the focal stripe.

Stamped a pattern paper circle with an Inside & Out: Birthday II sentiment and finished the card off with a few sequins.

This time I rotated the strips for a more upright stance and die cut them from pattern paper and cardstock.

Topped the strips with a sentiment strip (also from the Inside & Out: Birthday II set) and rhinestones.

Up next, Bitty Background Blocks and the Suffix Style dies.  I began by stamping a trio of background blocks in a cool color combo.

I then impressed the By the Numbers Border dies across the card front and attached the number and suffix (after a good coat of Glossy Accents) with dimensional adhesive.

Here's a fun use for the By the Numbers Border dies, I simply die cut the numbers and stamped each with the stripy Bitty Background Blocks image.

And finished it off with a bold black sentiment circle, from the Inside & Out: Birthday II set.

Last but not least... again with the Bitty Background Blocks.  I just love these patterns!  I stamped die cut balloons (cut using the Balloon Bash dies), drew by hand the strings and embellished with rhinestones. 

I finished the card off with sentiment strips, from the Inside & Out: Birthday II set.

Well, that concludes my look at this months birthday products. Just remember... these stamp sets and dies will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning July 15th.
