SWEET BIRTHDAY CARDS | with Maryám

I love my doodle stamps! In case you didn't know, in every new collection Doodlebug releases, we usually get 1 or 2 new sets of clear photopolymer stamps, plus coordinating dies to help us cut all the little images. For today's project, I'm going to be mainly using the stamp sets from the Hey Cupcake and Party Time collections to create two adorable cards.

To create my cards, I started by stamping some images from the Doodle Stamps - Birthday Boy, Doodle Stamps - Birthday Girl, and Doodle Stamps - Party Animal - Girl onto smooth white cardstock. Next, I grabbed my box of Polychromos Colored Pencils and started to color my images trying to follow the same color palette from the collections I mentioned earlier.

Once I finished coloring my images, I grabbed the coordinating dies for each one of the stamps sets I used before, positioned all the dies in place, taped them with a little bit of washi tape to secure them in place, and run them through my die-cutting machine.

Now that I had all elements I needed, I played with some different compositions until I decided on one. For the first, I decided to do go with a girl-themed card and used some pattern paper from the Hey Cupcake collection to make it more fun and colorful. For the sentiment, I used "It's Your Birthday" from the Doodle Stamps - Happy Birthday which I white heat embossed on black cardstock.

For my second card, I used the two remaining images I colored- a cook boy and a cake- and created a fun composition in which it looks like the little boy just made a delicious cake. For the sentiment, I used "happy birthday" that I white heat embossed on black cardstock, and finished up my project by adding sequins, sprinkles, and of course, the brand-new mini jewels that are an absolute favorite of mine!

That is it for today. I hope you guys enjoyed this post and liked the ideas I shared. If you have any questions just leave a comment below or send me an email. I'll be happy to help you.

Have an awesome day!
