Birthday Circles

Posted on February 21, 2026 9:09 PM by Julie Comment

Today I have a fun birthday card that works equally well for guys or girls. Best of all, it’s easy to make, easy to customize to colors for the recipient, and there are a lot of these birthday circles to choose from in this set. All you need is a few dies and one stamp set.

A big congrats to Michelle, the newest Featured Stamper FS994! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & colors, but used different images, dies & made my paper pieced background instead of using printed paper.

For my card, I stamped the birthday circles w/ brown ink, added just a bit of color to the cakes, then die cut them w/ a circle die. They are popped up one layer before I attached them to a slightly larger scallop circle die cut. The background was die cut w/ the Swiss Cheese cover in chocolate brown & attached to a piece of bubblegum pink. I pieced in some white circles & pale pink into some of the openings to mimic a multicolor polka dot paper. The birthday circles were attached at the bottom.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bird Cake

Posted on February 20, 2026 9:55 PM by Julie Comment

Someone said cake and this cute little birdie is so excited he can hardly wait. This new bird set is packed with super cute little birds and birthday greetings. Don’t you love his little aviator goggles and scarf?

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1055 we are visiting Essential Stencil & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS item.

To make my bird birthday card, I colored the bird & branch & die cut them. The two largest Victorian Label dies were used to cut the white & sky printed paper. The large white rectangle looked a little plain so I used a frame embossing folder on it. After determining where I wanted the branch, I used the same label die to cut the left side of it before attaching it. The little bird & greeting were popped up as were 2 label layers,

Here are the Copics I used:

Birthday Girl Flowers

Posted on February 16, 2026 10:38 PM by Julie Comment

Need a whimsical birthday card for a special girl or woman you know? And if they love bright, retro colors they’ll definitely love this floral card. All you need is one stamp set, one stencil, a trio of dies & your choice of ink colors. The flowers are a two part stamp with a solid petal image to ink & stamp so it needs no other coloring.

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s my turn to host the Featured Stamper Challenge FS993 so a big congrats to Nancy! She has such a fun, growing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & since I loved the colors, I kept those. I used different images, dies & a stenciled background instead of designer paper.

To make my card, I stamped the solid of the flower petals several times w/ shades of pink, red & yellow. On a couple of the stampings, I. misted it w/ water to help it spread out a bit (a Misti really comes in handy here!). Then the black outline was stamped on top. You can stamp the outline first, if you prefer, but I find when I’m doing repeated inking & stamping, sometimes it fades or covers the outline a little. It was die cut along w/ the greeting. A pair of swanky ovals were die cut to go behind the flowers. For the stenciled panel, I used the same inks for the flowers plus the addition of a bright pink Distress ink. It was trimmed to fit on the left w/ a white scallop edge cut underneath the right edge.The flower panel, greeting & ovals are popped up each one more layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
