Happy 4th Birthday SugarPea Designs!

Welcome to the biggest birthday bash in town!  SugarPea Designs is celebrating its 4th birthday with a super sized blog hop and awesome giveaways, so read all the way to the bottom of my post for all the details.

I have two birthday cards for you today that use the same birthday sentiment from the newly released Topiary Garden.  I'm smitten with this stamp set and find ways to combine it with other favorite SugarPea products whenever possible!


I've combine Topiary Garden with my favorite-est Diagonal Striped Cover Plate. And, you know me, clean and simple, so I simply stamped the twiggy wreath from Funky Wreath - All Seasons and finished it with my birthday sentiment and  a few black leaves. 

Next up is the FarmScape scene. I trimmed the card base and FarmScape layer with the stitched rectangle die from Card Front Element Builder to give everything a crisp, uniform look and again added my simply stamped sentiment.


SugarPea Designs will be giving away 4 - $40 gift certificates to the SugarPea Designs shop. Winners will be randomly chosen from all the comments left along each stop of the hop. Comments will close on April 7th 11:59 PM EST with winners announced on April 8th.
Wait...there's more!

SugarPea Designs is offering a coupon code: BDAY04 for customers to receive 15% off their entire purchase AND a FREE 4x8 stamp set with any purchase (valid until April 7th 11:59 EST).

    Wow, two such different designs with the same sentiment. So versatile! I love that gorgeous farm scene creation. They're both gorgeous, but as I come from a family of farmers, this rather stole my heart! Hugs, Wends xoxo
