Big Day Birthday | Kristina Werner

March 17, 2026

Hey everyone. I’m back with another card for Kristina’s March 2026 release. This card is made using the Big Day Birthday bundle. Oh what a great bundle this is.

The bundle includes a Big Day Stamp Set, Big Day Birthday Dies, Big Day Stencil pack, Big Day Shadow Dies and Birthday Shadow Dies. There are so many ways you can create fabulous cards with this bundle.

For course I needed to make another monochromatic card. It’s like a thing for me right now. LOL If you missed the floral monochromatic card I made a few days ago check it out on my Instagram (mzdanajoy).

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.

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.

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!

Fast and Easy Cardmaking

May 19, 2023

Hey everyone. I have a very quick tutorial for you today. When I have images already colored and I need a fast and easy card, a background stamp is my go to. Here I will share a tutorial using the Hero Arts Triangle Mix Bold Print (a new fav) to create two fun cards.

Every once in awhile, I will sit down and color multiple images. This really should be always but I’m like a squirrel and get sidetracked easily. Once I have the images colored, I’ll set them aside until I’m ready to make a card. Well today is that day! Yay for me!
