Hi all! Today I have Day 7 of Birthday Month for you! I colored a cute image from The Greeting Farm (here’s a similar stamp set) using OLO Markers, and then paired it with the Big Birthday die set from Honey Bee. I also used Spellbinders’ Balloons and Banners embossing folder for texture in the background. (Wondering what I used in this video?

Hello, all! Birthday Month is still going and I’m back with a fun card made using new stamps and stencils from Honey Bee. I used the Squared Spring Florals stamps for the main area of the card, and then I used the Squared Spring Florals stencils to ink blending and color in the flowers. The textured layer was made using watercolor paper and Spellbinders’ Beveled Diamonds 3D embossing folder. (Wondering what I used in this video?

NOTE: This post is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. Thanks, Simon! Hi all! One of the easiest ways to make a die-cut heavy card match is to color all the pieces with ink. For today’s card I did just that! I used Simon’s new Daisy Oval Frame dies, plus the To the Happy Couple stamps and coordinating dies to create a matching color design. I also used the Dash and Dot stencil for some texture. (Wondering what I used in this video? Everything is linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this post, or in the text below.
