Hey everyone! Happy Friday!
If you’ve been around my blog before you’ll probably know that birthdays are one of my favourite things to celebrate. Rather than shy away from acknowledging turning another year older I love to surround myself with presents and cake and confetti – and cards!
I’m very glad to say that crafting companies share my love of celebrating birthdays – particularly their own! And that’s why I’m here today – to help celebrate the 4th birthday of one of my favourite stamping companies – SugarPea Designs!
SugarPea Designs have some of the most adorable images you ever will meet! But that’s just one side of the story as they also have a range of clever and intricate dies, staple patterned papers, and more! And if ‘cute’ isn’t your thing, fear not – they also have a range of other styles and designs that you are bound to love too! And they are headed up by the sweetest, most wonderful friend of mine, Wendy – her kindness and warmth radiate from everything she does!
So obviously with it being a celebration of SugarPea Designs’ birthday, I had to pull out some of their favourite sets of mine and make a birthday card:
I went very Clean And Simple with this one! It’s been a while since I’ve created in this style so it was a refreshing change, whilst still involving a bit of technical skill!
I used sentiments from the Bring On The Cake, Stay Strong, and Prehistoric Pals stamp sets to make my ‘sentiment birthday cake’. Subway Art meets cake – sign me up! I masked one of the stamps from Bring On The Cake to stamp just the small star several times on the yellow layer. The candles are made from two separate stamps and I loved overlaying them for a two-tone effect!
Happy Birthday SugarPea Designs! Here’s to many more!

Taheerah, I love SugarPea Designs and how great that it is owned by a friend of yours. Congratulations on their 4th birthday. I also try to submit a card design to the SugarPea ‘Mix It Up Card Challenge’ when I can also. I think your birthday design is very clever and was wondering how long it took to find the sentiments to create the tiering effect of an outline of a cake? Brilliant effect though, ingenious! :O)
I like the pretty colors you used! Congrats to SugarPea on their 4th anniversary!
Wonderful card! Love all the colors ♥
