I used the fun Stampin’ Up! Counting Sheep stamp set and coordinating Sheep Dies and the Penguin Playmates DSP, all Sale-a-bration items that you can get for FREE with order of $50+ through September 30, to create a fun birthday card to share with you today!

My card design was inspired by Global Design Project GDP306.

My card theme was inspired by Tic Tac Toe Challenge TTTC128.  I think that my card meets everything except for Anniversary and Stencil!

I started by adhering a panel from the Penguin Playmates DSP (Sale-a-bration item) to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Then I cut two other panels of Penguin Playmates DSP with one of the Stitched Rectangle Dies and then adhered the pieces together and to the card front with Stampin’ Seal.

I cut the clouds and fence images from Basic White card stock with dies from the Sheep Dies (Sale-a-bration item).  I adhered the die cut pieces with Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the card front.  I stamped the sheep image from the Counting Sheep stamp set (Sale-a-bration item) in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then colored with the image with Light and Dark Petal Pink and Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Markers.  I cut the image out with the coordinating Sheep Dies (Sale-a-bration item) and then adhered it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front.

I cut a panel of Fresh Freesia card stock with one of the Sheep Dies and adhered it with Mini Glue Dots to the card front.  I stamped the sentiment from the Counting Sheep stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then cut it out with one of the openings in the Messages Die.  I adhered the sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Happiest Of Birthdays stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink on a panel of Basic White card stock and then adhered a strip of Penguin Playmates DSP to finish the inside of the card.

You can see a list of supplies used to create this project, including the card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this blog post.
