This ‘Celebrating You’ stamp set is a perfect stamp set for a birthday celebration. Presents are always fun to play with, they can be dressed up or down in so many ways.

Also if you wish to know how the card was made you can read the details below here on the blog and then head over to the instagram hop : )

As soon as I saw this stamp set I knew I wanted to make a slim line card. I know slim line cards are trendy right now, but I have always enjoyed that they are a different footprint to play with. Some stamp sets just lean into the long form factor of a slim line card. With so many cute birds and branches in this set a tall card allowed me to layer in several sets of branches. It’s kinda like a birdie apartment building with each branch its own apartment or telling its little story.

Always a fun time to be guest designing for Your Next Stamp. Especially with a new release arriving this Thursday. I had a complete blast playing with this Coffee Character stamp set. I mean who doesn’t need a good set of fun characters enjoying their morning pick me up. And the sentiments are a perfect match. For these cards I wanted each character to be the star of their own card, so I went with slightly smaller 4”x4” panels. I also wanted to give them fun bright backgrounds to compliment the playfulness of the stamps.
