Insta hop with my Coast to Coast

Coast to Coast Insta Hop – September 🎉

It’s the 14th, which means it’s time for another Insta Hop with my Coast to Coast Team! This month our theme is the new Mini Catalog. I chose the Jolly Delivery stamp set, which is packed with the most adorable animals. While it’s designed with Christmas in mind, I paired it with the Floral Charm DSP to show how versatile it can be—perfect for birthdays and more!

This sweet bear carrying presents made the perfect focal point for my Happy Birthday card. I love when a set can stretch across the seasons.

Basic Steps to Create This Card:

Card Base
- Start with a standard white card base (8 ½” x 5 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”).
Embossed Layer
- Add a white panel (5 ¼” x 4”) and run it through an embossing folder for texture.
DSP Layer
- Cut a piece of Floral Charm DSP slightly smaller (about 4 ¾” x 3 ½”) and layer it on top with a thin green cardstock mat.
- Adhere this to embossed layer and Wrap with a white ribbon and tie a bow in the top left corner.
Focal Point
- Stamp and color the bear and present images from Jolly Delivery.
- Die cut a stitched circle from white cardstock.
- Arrange the bear, presents, and sentiment onto the circle using Dimensionals.
Finishing Touches
- Adhere the focal circle to the center of the card.
- Add a few embellishments for extra sparkle.
