Throwback Thursday – Adorable Owls Meet Wildflower Birthday DSP

Leave a comment July 31, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Today’s card is a sweet birthday throwback featuring one of my all-time favourite retired stamp sets—Adorable Owls—brought to life with some fun new products!

This owl is celebrating in style with:

The vibrant Wildflower Birthday 12×12 DSP
Peach Pie Bordered Ribbon (currently on the Last Chance list—grab it while you can!)
A textured base using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder
A sprinkle of sparkle with Starburst Sequins

🎨 How to Make This Card:

Start with a Thick Basic White card base.
Emboss a 4″ x 5-¼” Basic White panel with the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder and adhere it to your base.
Cut 2 angled rectangles from the Wildflower Birthday DSP and layer them slightly askew for interest.
Wrap the Peach Pie Bordered Ribbon across the layers and tie a bow on the left side.
Die cut a stitched circle (Pool Party cardstock or similar) and pop it up with Dimensionals.
Stamp the owl from Adorable Owls, colour with Stampin’ Blends, fussy cut, and adhere.
Stamp a birthday sentiment and die-cut or banner cut it, then adhere with Dimensionals.
Add a few Starburst Sequins for a pop of sparkle.

🧡 This card is bright, happy, and full of texture—perfect for any birthday celebration. While the Adorable Owls are retired, the layout and product mix can work with so many images you already have in your stash.
