Today, the design team is showcasing the Holding Happiness stamp set and coordinating dies with the Bubbly and Confetti stencils. I know I probably say this every month but you are all going to love this month’s stamps, dies and stencils.
For my first card, I started by using my small sponge dauber and different inks to color my Bristol smooth white card stock and create a colorful background. I also stamped my images with my memento tuxedo black ink on Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my copic markers. I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.
Using a scallop border die from my stash, I die-cut two pieces of yellow card stock. Since this card is meant for a birthday, I wanted to create a very happy and colorful card using pinks, blues and yellows.
To finish my design, I stamped my sentiment using my Versamark ink onto a piece of black card stock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder. Here is the first card:

For my second card, I wanted the colorful balloons to pop and be the center of attention so I decided to go for a white on white background. I die-cut 3 pieces of 100 lb. Neenah Classic Index card stock using my Hexagon dies. I colored the images using my Copic markers. Here is the second card:
