Waffle Flower Boxed Cupcake Die

April 1, 2025

Hey everyone. I’m amping up my birthday card making with the Waffle Flower Boxed Cupcake Bundle  If you’re like me, you make a stack of birthday cards, but then feel like you don’t have the right one for that particular person. Well that’s not going to happen this time.  The Waffle Flower Boxed Cupcake die and coordinating stencil perfect for all your birthday cards. I mean, who doesn’t like cupcakes with zero calories. 😂

My card is so colorful and happy. As I stated I used the Waffle Flower Boxed Cupcake die cut and the Boxed Cupcake stencil. This combinations makes creating birthday cards so easy and super fun. For my ink colors I used Concord & 9th Watermelon, Wildberry, Creamsicle, Aqua Sky, Oceanside and Dragonfruit. I mean those colors by themself sound like a party!

I added in a sprinkle background using the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Heart Sprinkles stencil. Didn’t use the heart layer on this card. And the bright and colorful dots in the box lid and around the bottom were created with my Olo Markers.

To complete the card, I used a white gel pen for some highlights and some glitter glue to add sparkle to the card. The sentiment is from the Waffle Flower Hey Cupcake stamp set and was stamped in C&9 Dragonfruit ink. This is one fun birthday card. Thanks for stopping by today. I hope I’ve inspired you to keep making those birthday cards we need all year long.

Have a great day everyone!!

Pink and Main March 2025 Release

March 23, 2025

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the blog. Have you seen the new Pink and Main March 2025 release. It is full of so much happy inspiration for birthday card making and beyond.

I have a few card samples for you today using products from the release. My first card is using the Gift Of You stamp set. This stamp makes such a beautiful card. By coloring in the cake using my Olo markers I was able to pair the colored image with the new It’s Your Birthday Patterned Paper. The pattern paper in this package has so many options for birthday cards and beyond.

Pink and Main March 2025 Release

I love to add a slant of colorful cardstock or a designed background to my cards. So for this card, I did just that by placing a half sheet of the plaid paper diagonally on my card base. A simple sentiment from the Sprinkles on Top stamp set finished off this card nicely.

For my next card I used the Floral Cake Foilables. Now this is the same image as the Gift Of you stamp set however it’s foilable. It makes card creating super easy. I paired it with a sentiment from the Mega Birthday Sentiments Foilable sheets.

I really wish I could get a better photo of this card. The sparkle on it is amazing. Keeping this card super simple really makes all the foiling the star of the card.

And lastly I have a card using the large Have The Best Birthday Ever foilable from the Mega Birthday Sentiments Foilable sheets. Look at that sparkle. For both of the foilable cards, I used Pink and Main City Lights Gold Cheer Foil.

Once again, using paper from the new It’s Your Birthday Patterned Papers makes this card super easy to put together.

Now don’t forget, this items are available right now. I have links to the products so you can scoop them up. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you.

Thanks for stopping by the Pink and Main March 2025 release. I hope I have inspired you to create your own birthday cards. See you back here soon.

Simon Says Stamp STAMPTEMBER

September 2, 2023

Hey everyone. I’m so EXCITED to be joining Simon Says Stamp Stamptember. I had the absolute pleasure of working with the new CZ Designs Enjoy Phrases stamp set. With my birthday card stash being every low, this was the perfect chance to replenish those cards

Each of these cards were made with the CZ Designs Enjoy Phrases and the Simon Says Stamp Stepped Back Blocks stencil. I used all Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in happy and fun color combinations. For the first card I used shades of yellow, greens and blues.

Simon Says Stamp STAMPTEMBER

My next card was all about monochromatic shades of blue. Have you seen this trend on my IG the past few posts. I just loving a great monochromatic look. Oh with a pop of gold…stunning!

Stay Golden Layering Stencil

August 22, 2023

Hey everyone. Hope you are having a great day. Today I have a card using the Stay Golden Color Layering Stencil from the Hero Arts August 2023 release. This card really does have my heart. Using a stamp and coordinating stencil makes a great card. However, when you only use the stencil, the card becomes super soft and pretty.

Stay Golden

The Stay Golden layering stencil really makes it easy to bring your flowers to life. The colors on this card work perfectly for layering the colors. Using light and dark variation of pinks and greens allow me to really build up the layers and gives me a beautiful result.

Stay Golden

By letting the gorgeous colorful flowers be the star, a quick happy birthday across the card with this panel matted on black completes the look.

Making sure not to add anything to distract from the card, I used a few white pearls on my card  for added dimension. Swooning over this card for sure. If you create this card, let me know what color combination you would use. Make sure to grab your Stay Golden Color Layering Stencil today. I will see you back here soon. Have a great day.

Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a Morning everyone. Finally back in my room having a chance to play with some new products I purchased from @ginakdesigns.

My first card is using the beautiful Contemporary Floral embossing folder and stencils. When I saw this debut, it was right in my cart. I absolutely LOVE this embossing folder and stencil. The colors are from@concordand9th! The background is nectar and the inks are Popp, Buttercup, Watermelon and Parsley

My second card is featuring the Ruffled Blooms bundle. When I purchased this set, I knew I wanted to do this on black cardstock with rainbow flowers. I add a layer of sparkle on top to really make it pop!  The colors for this card are also from @concordand9th and are Poppy, Buttercup, Tidepool and Fig! These colors make a spectacular rainbow. 

Keep bringing us all the goodies Gina!!!

My card is featuring the new Rose Branch die cut and the new Under Water stencils. There are four stencils to create this beautiful background. Using a white gel pen I did some wonky (I mean seriously wonky 😂) faux stitching on the card as well.  I love the cool colors for green on this card.
