If you know my style, you know I often start a project by stamping and cutting images to play with, while I plan what to create. HERE'S A TIP: To get started on multiple cards at once, like I did for today's cards, choose a color scheme and then stamp/cut a variety of images in each color. I had large and small presents, candles, and balloons all ready to go, in each color. Next, the fun part - creating!!

For the first card, I used one of the ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE 4x4 stencils to create the background stripes. If you love stencils, you will LOVE the ring of 12 (yes, 12) stencils including backgrounds, words, and shapes that coordinate with the stamps. (Hint. . . stamp the images, and then use coordinating stencils to add color!)

Next up, a star stencil background, stamped, die cut and stenciled candles . . .AND a stenciled sentiment! (How cute is THAT!?) I added some pen details to really make the sentiment POP.

Remember I stamped and cut a bunch of candles at once . . .so I still had one ready to go for another card! Take a look at that yellow background - yep, another stencil! For this one, I traced around the fun confetti pattern with a white gel pen.

And last but certainly not least, my favorite of these cards . . . balloons AND gifts! So cute together, right?! The IO designers are having a two-day blog hop to celebrate this adorable birthday bundle, Birthday Hugs. (This is day two!) So here's the scoop, because you do NOT want to miss out on this!

The Birthday Hugs bundle includes a 4x6 clear stamp set, coordinating dies, and 12 4x4 stencils. Grab this trio of crafty gems while they last!
