Elise‘s birthday card is so cheerful! She doubled up the Bunting Background Stencils to create this fantastic rainbow design! Then all it needs is a Scripty Happy and Henry’s Build-A-Sentiment: Spring birthday greeting.
And speaking of rainbows, Mindy inked Draped Ribbons Stencil in a beautiful rainbow pattern! It’s so perfect as a background for the Really High Five critters on this special birthday.
Oh goodness, Marine‘s Fly High design is so adorable! She used bright rainbow colors for Bunting Background Stencils and the hot air balloons are so pretty colored in coordinating shades! Another amazing birthday card!
There’s lots of fun happening in Grace‘s Beam Me Up design! The bright colors of the Draped Ribbons contrast with the deep blue of outer space! I love how she added another layer of fun with Starry Sky Background Hot Foil Plate, so shiny!
Latisha combined the Bunting Background Stencils with Lots of Stars Background Stencils for her thank you design! She added a fun Plane and Simple airplane and banner to create a simple design with lots of impact!
Audrey’s underwater scene is so “fintastic”! She featured You Are Sublime creating a fun design with Desert Canyon Backdrop. Then she stenciled the Draped Ribbons to create the look of sunray in the water!
Elena inked her background in sweet colors before adding the Bunting Background with Stencil Paste in white. It looks so pretty in contrast with the colorful backdrop. Her birthday design is so cute with Elephant Parade critters, cake and peanuts!
It’s a pastel rainbow with Draped Ribbons Stencil that makes Grace‘s card so sweet! She colored the Build-A-Gumball Machine in soft colors with gumballs in the same shades too. Then she added cute critters from Really High Five and Butterfly Kisses for so much cuteness!
Like Latisha’s card, Mindy stenciled the Bunting Background in patriotic colors on a kraft panel to send a special thank you card! She embellished her design with Giant Outlined Thanks and Party Balloons Lawn Cuts!
The Draped Ribbons Stencil creates a dramatic backdrop for Chari‘s Giant Outlined Merci design!
