Hello stampers! You are a very lucky bunch indeed, because you get a fabulous sneak peek at a brand new suite from the upcoming 2017-2018 annual catalog. It is called Birthday Memories Suite and it is unlike anything Stampin’Up! has ever offered before. What makes it unique is that the framelits in the bundle also cut out the beautiful images from the paper. I can’t share the pictures for the paper, the stamp set or the framelits yet, but I can show you the projects that I made!
I just love the honeycomb embellishments that go with this suite. The colours there match perfectly with the patterned paper. Here is a close-up:
Do you see the girl in the inside of this card? It is a stamp and there is a matching framelit. There is also a girl on the patterned paper that faces the front and it also fits into the framelit.
The patterned paper in this suite that you can make the easiest cards ever just by using a square of it and putting it on the front of the card. I love the nostalgic feel of it and that it works for both boys and girls. Doesn’t it remind you of the beautiful story books that you read as a child?
This is a great card for a dog lover and it simply uses a piece of patterned paper from the Birthday Memories Suite. Here is the inside of the card and it uses the stamp set Here for You.
This suite is great, not only for cards, but also for cute gifts.
This is a petite cafe bag. Did you know that they are poly-lined so that they are safe for treats. Perfect for Easter. I also like to put hazelnut vanilla coffee beans in there. Looks great and smells great too! The next gift is a white treat box that has a clear sleeve around it that has been embellished with a wide banner and a big bow.
If you look closely you can see the clear acetate sleeve around the box. That means the whole embellished beautiful topper comes off so that the gift can be opened and nothing destroyed.
On this baby card I pulled the ribbon apart and it suits the card perfectly. It also combines very well with the That’s The Tag bundle. Here is close up of the fox:
Another image that is from the patterned paper is the cake and it cuts out with a coordinating framelit. Such fun to play with!!
Here is one more cake card and then I am going to save the rest of the projects for another day. This post is getting super long and I am getting super tired!!
This last card uses one of the neutral sheets from the designer series paper in the Birthday Memories Suite. The cake is an image from the paper and the chef is a stamp. Both are cut using framelits, so no fussy cutting. How awesome is that?!
Stay tuned for more amazing projects using this fabulous suite.
Thanks so much for the samples! The website is crashed so looking at your samples is an even greater treat than usual!!!

These are fabulous fun cards. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much Johanna for taking the time to comment, I appreciate it. They were such fun cards to make, especially now that I have a grandson who will look great in scrapbook pages with this paper.
Great ideas! I cannot imagine having anyone sign for a day with me for a little costing approx $100 . How fortunate you are. Glad your workshops are being successful.
Thanks so much Letha. They came because it really is a great value. Now they have all the products to make more beautiful things at home, they had a day of creating with like-minded people and we had great fellowship sharing terrific food. They also got to work at their own pace and choose their favourite projects.
